Its a classic among germanys city trips frankfurt with its exciting contrasts from the skyline to the old town and from the tavern culture around the site are called voice that im eager to try to the nightlife in the station district well and because its summer ill also be on the water. Course we also make a detour to the citys famous art museum this. Hour globetrotter takes us to greenland from the capital nuke to the endless ice. And this weeks deer video shows oppressions off an adventurous journey through it was biggest time. High finance high rises and high rent Frankfurt Center was almost destroyed in world war 2 it clear a space for a New Buildings id like to get a birds eye view of it all my intel has an Observation Deck in 30 seconds sent 200 meters in good weather its worth seeing the view of the city and the region has brought other travelers up your to they come from all over. Where youre from and i dont im here in paris where youre from the netherlands but whats so special about the city while i call it buildings its kind of like new york and so im like i like the part of the city that she took to the architectural the contrast of all the nina thats really nice its beautiful its. A it sounds contradictory but its a fact in frankfurt there is a new old town and attempt to heal the wounds of war destruction and half the reconstruction they want to teresa wrecked a part of the mediaval city and thats new all tell opened in 2018. Germanys Financial Hub has rebuilt history in the heart of its old town. The area was almost totally destroyed by air raids in march 1904 now its been resurrected as a testament to frankfurts medieval past. Architect and urban planning. As reconstructed the most donate of the Old Buildings the golden scale was once owned by the dutch spice merchant out confection on the other hand fun hummel. Got to buy their golden wagner not for the golden scale and partly for other buildings as well we were lucky enough to have a great number of original elements that had survived the war in visits to here and we managed to persuade the owner of large parts of the golden scales facade to donate the stones to us he had them stored in his library building. Family papers reveal details like the existence of a gilded waterspout shaped like a dragon. A total of 15 buildings have been reconstructed 20 more are entirely new theyre built in medieval style some people criticize the project at 1st but today the new old town is a thing of beauty for mass now and hopefully my 1st impression is that its beautiful its aesthetically pleasing but i cant say that about it the decorative facades came out very well i dont know how much money went into it that that raises the question of whether it was the right investment to make investments on given findus i think it still looks very lifeless but can i say that the Human Element is still missing somehow just come to maybe that will come when the right shops move and some shops have already opened like this one by. Businesses with a regional connection get preferential treatment when trying to sign leases in the new old town this barber shop has been well received. This is what does this area feels a little like a village. The very shop owners all know each other a short time and. Besides the shops over 200 rental apartments have been built the new old town doesnt need still seem a bit sterile as though its waiting for the people of frankfort to fill it with life. Says it was well worth it. Only because we have this back can people here remember what was they can see that this was their past so now they can also ask themselves about the future. Right next to the new old town is the back and the Old Town Hall this was also destroyed in the war and rebuild in the 1950 s. Many of frankfurts buildings have had a checkered history they arent what they were originally meant to be St Pauls Church for instance is no longer a church it was the 1st structure to be rebuilt after the war this is where the 1st pan German National assembly met after the revolutions of 848 a 1st step on the long road to democracy in germany with what again a visitor learned here. The mural was only put up in 1901 its by your highness cuts go and shows the procession of the deputies to St Pauls Church. Of the do the biggest gentleman was psalm expressions are supposed to be the deputies there were about 200 nuns and then you have scenes from daily life scattered throughout and references to history as well if if you have course its a bit ambiguous on the one hand its called the procession of the deputy used to St Pauls Church but it comes across a bit like a funeral procession for and of course that alludes to the fact that the pauls Church Parliament failed polled parliament there to try to the thirds and i its one of the birth places of democracy but a site from the painting if or thinks a plane in sober why is that foreign dicta doesnt it aram of the thats because the church of was entirely destroyed and world or 2 with it bar now its all but the outside walls they were left standing can but the hold interior everything and side burnt on over and reviewed all that remained was this giant round room them create after the war they real built St Pauls Church for the centennial a 948 the that in a very austere a contemporary style dont and type good at or and the man court for call her corner of route through our north the now were coming up from the lower darkness into the bright open space that symbolize as the new democratic beginning cotty then there will card from norberg in in the more do the it and the the interior was left to purposely austere the the seeding plane and the floor just sandstone or and the only part thats a bit fancier is the speakers podium and the rostrum behind it over with an what is this hall used for to day you the whole me ordinal can look at their bit toward to out today its used for special events in fact its one of germanys most significant Event Locations or every year here for example the peace prize that the german book trade has been awarded since 1950 the good to frys one of the highest honors of the city of frankfurt is also awarded here or plus major anniversary observance as are held here its he used for a great many thanks. Just listening to. The next point of interest im heading for is the river mine the woodbine bridge from here you can see another of the citys highlights the art institute. For it as a business and banking city also has a lot of art and culture to offer pretty concentrated on the banks of the mine therefore the name museums or the Museum Embankment and right now we introduce you to the probably the most important in frankfurt. Frank church data museum is famous for its historical masterpieces we see fallen heroes. Mismatched couples. Famous men. Fascinating women. In painting after painting. Staddon was there was the state of museum was founded an 815 its the oldest civic museum in germany there in 7000 square metres of space we display some 1000 works of art from 7 centuries so its a comprehensive overview of art from the middle ages to the presence of. Those who dont have an opportunity to visit frankfurt can take the museums virtual tour it allows you to peruse 56 outstanding works of art at the click of a mouse from the comfort of home taking you on a journey through the centuries deep into the realms of cultural history. Is for mention museum as for people by people so i think its especially valuable to gather together very different people from so many centuries. The state of director philip dinant has selected exemplary works and supplemented them with background stories and notes. For example how can we tell that a famous portrait of gutter was left unfinished for a time and only completed later. On go to his face and go to in the campania is world famous of course but if you look down a little youll see that one leg is longer than my other and hes got 2 left feet wide so something clearly went wrong with his picture. And this painting by manet bears a hidden message that even touched off a scandal among his 19th century contemporaries. Of the gas the liquor. Such 1st glance its a familiar dining table seen in reality this is a portrait of his lover together with her illegitimate son and of course that didnt sit well with the ideals of Respectable Society at the time around 870. At that moment passion to twist all of us down in the top at 5 minutes that moment created a straightforward scene of jealousy of 2 men and one woman and you can see it quite clearly it gets straight to the point one is all green the other all yellow and shes in the middle red is a beat its quite a scene. From data Museum Lights taking its treasures off their pedestals so they can be understood not just mind through the stories behind the pictures. Once again frankfurt pays tribute to its many museums with a big bash on the banks of the river mine the institutions that take part in clute the citys film museum and its coming indication museum. Since it was 1st held in 1908 the festivals drawn into the biggest in the region now some 3000000 people come to the end you will museum some for fest and there is plenty to keep them busy.
