Missing out some very includes thinking of the. Best stop the capital of that their ear. Look at the games is to at the citys mucky and shops or our ladies square im in munich and i want to get a big. Old feature thats the bell tower of the citys oldest Parish Church is called is known for its spectacular view but. 365 so. Thats kind of exhausting. Its worth the effort though. Up here the whole city is spread out before you. Prefer. Thats the perfect view down there you can see thats where thats the town hall and right behind it the phone cure here. Now that ive gotten an overview of the city if i could start on my tour it is said that travelling is the best education so i should learn a lot here in munich this city has lots of art history and culture that spans the range of several centuries i have decided to go to an art museum 1st the idea could take. A good 700 paintings by european artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries are exhibited here. Im getting a private tour from art historian kali not loud shell be revealing some of the secrets of the i. D. P. Not critics treasures. To avoid embarrassment for the 1st lets have a look at this world famous selfportrait of i but i still even notice one more thing its the selfportrait with fur trimmed robe well why didnt you appeared himself in this pose a portion of the mind. The fact that time artists were more or less unknown nameless and that they were considered craftsman and the way i do have represented himself here was something completely new wheels. New for the year 50100 that is this reprint ation of himself bears a resemblance to christ for whom until that point frankly perspectives like this have been reserved. To be could you take a picture of me with do you concede to get with the conceit to do the. Next comes this huge painting the last judgment by peter. Innocent victims you know not now or in the 17th century the 30 years were all this was the tallest were going to determines the proportions here if thats a clue its really the most magnetic selfimage you hear in the future could take. I think. You cant imagine how many people pose in front of and all of the last judgment of all things. Thats my cue. And. Now its time to delve into munichs history i want to learn more about the citys role in the nazi era. A good place to do that is the Documentation Center for the history of National Socialism. Historian doug regal walks me through the exhibition. The how was munich important to the nazis and you know its another to this when. Munich was at the center of the National Socialism this is where the nazi party was founded here im going from here we have a photo from 1903 a few years after the party was founded and it was the party leader by that and it was here that he gave them to rioting became more and more popular here hes speaking to 1800 people in munich. Be a whole like those beer halls which are still popular today offered hitler a forum an audience for his speeches. Its where he spoke to the masses and spread his racist and antisemitic ideology. He didnt mention how does munich deal with all this today the fact that this is where it started from. The start in the meantime i mean it takes a very critical approach to this house. Financed by the city of munich but the fact that munich was the birthplace of the city that gave rise to the nazi party is a topic that wasnt talked about for a long time before. This Documentation Center has played a key role in breaking that silence it is situated on the very place where what was known as the brown house once stood that was the Party Headquarters in the 1930 s. An entire nazi administrative district was constructed in the area it had 68 buildings and 6000 workers. To allow me to fully understand the scale of things the legal shows me other places in the area which are also connected to the nazis sorites next door is the former through a bowl which housed hitlers office and those of his staff today it houses the university of music and performing arts munich. We continue along b. And i started to what is now the by the solemnest bug the very end state bank. And there i think was when it was hit with the fatal spark originally stood on the spot. That was a small palace for the vital smart family. And then october 19th 33. 00 it became the got start pole headquarters. Here the nazis planned the persecution of political opponents and jews a few steps away a memorial commemorates the victims of National Socialism. Art and history now id like to learn a bit more about munichs traditions and one that is centuries old here is beer brewing it and drinking it brewing seminars are offered here regularly this one is being led by dr your student of the munich brew mafia. 1st we hear what beer is made of water hops malt and east. Smells a bit rancid doesnt it. Get off of ok now lets fill it up then we start grinding our model weve got 3 kilos here and we need a strong muscular guy. Thats me right. Here so this is easy. The ground malt is then steeped in hot water its a process known as smashing. So beer you actually i wouldnt say so. Its a bit hot. As the smoke. After a while the mashing is done. Then comes the lawyering which means separating the liquid from the grain residue we can give it a taste there is still no alcohol content at this point. Was. This is was it is this is the multi residue. These are the most i dont want or sweet. Go ahead and try it. About one of them dont understand all the sweetness has been washed out the. Next step would be to add hops to the liquid they give pierrots taste and then yeast is added for fermentation vet makes beer an alcoholic beverage but its a long process so we only learn the theory but it would be a shame to go home without wetting our whistles so the seminar ends with a tasting of the many different varieties of beer made by the munich group the farmer lets start with the munich classic a munich pale lager and. We can hold the beer up to the light this one has a relatively light colored some cloudiness to it. And the beer has a flower recent citrusy. Someone is going to drink it in america. The 1st step is delicate and sweet. Theres not a lot of carbonation. When you swallow but theres a bitterness that reflects the moment that sentence for what it was with. My visit to munich proves beyond all doubt travelling can be educational even for your taste buds unfortunately my visit to munich is over but it was fun and i have learned a lot arts culture history of all there i have to admit munichs really got something. Mixed with 10. 00 to 1. 00 of the oldest cities in bavaria indeed in the whole of germany. Nichol is going to show us they can stroke. Im standing above the danube over on the shore you can see the beautiful old town and this bridge is the stone bridge built at the beginning of the 12th century its believed to be the oldest surviving bridge in germany. To be honest the bridge doesnt look that old thats because its been completely restored over the past few years after all reagans work has a title to defend and since 2006 its old town including this bridge has been a unesco World Heritage site today i want to get to know regensburg what attracts a visitor is to this unesco World Heritage site and what does the constant influx of tourists mean for the city this much is certain its going to be a journey through 2000 years of history. The fact that reagans burn is such an old and well preserved city is largely thanks to it not having been destroyed in the wars and its importance as an Imperial City in past centuries. A testimony to its former significance is the gothic cathedral. Construction began in the 13th century and the cathedral tells us a lot about that time. Next to the one in cologne reagans birth cathedral is considered to be germanys most extraordinary golf a cathedral. And reagans burg was not only important because it became a bishop seat fairly early on the danube was a significant trade and traffic route. And here on its banks in the Old Town Hall the perpetual diet was held for over 114 years. From the 17th to the early 19th century and reagan spoke was actually the capital of europe a bit like brussels today. The natural diet was convened in 1663. 00 just a few years after that that she is rules. Representatives from all countries from all cities gathered here they were supposed to discuss taxes and military issues but the talks then dragged on for so long that they never came to a final agreement on tibet hole or at least not for 143 years until 1806 is to someone the takes the one that the. 1 next i have an appointment with my ts fi talk at the noise plots where he shows me the outlines of the former jewish synagogue. Dragons virg is like many many evil cities if you dig here its likely youll discover something in 1905 traces of the 2000 year history of the city were uncovered during construction work on plants. It was the. Work of as youve probably noticed were underground now about some version with the wall. With the. Classical middle ages about 700 to 800 years old its now if you take a step forward and look down over the parapet you see those stones. Shelter they may not look that special but theyre from roman times 2000 years ago. And if we go through this arc we come to a 2nd cellar. Composes of the whats interesting here is that all the sellers in the Documentation Center come from the former jewish quarter in reagans. Through the clothes. And so what were seeing here are traces of the jewish families in reagans. Excavations took 3 years and archaeologists even found a gold treasure the Documentation Center doesnt have signs or a big means on sen the structure can only be accessed on guided visits but dont let that scare you off its really worth it. Next to the Historic Stone bridge youll find the worst cool the sausage kitchen a true reagans work classic in the 12th century the building was used as a storage room for Construction Equipment later it was turned into an eatery and since the beginning of the 19th century its where reagans burns most famous bratwurst or charcoal grill sausages are made. Out for couch 6 on sauerkraut is the name of this typical dish simple bud really good. Just right if youre feeling peckish on your tour. On the banks of the danube woods during peak season as line with cruise ships i meet with peter morris about he has the organization friends of reagans birds old town its one of the oldest citizens initiatives in germany and as the name implies is concerned with preserving their citys historical heritage their most recent coup was to prevent the construction of a Convention Center in the old town to hide from the rain we seek cover and a former royal villa which today houses the bavarian monument office. And lost by memo stuff you previously worked as a tourist guide in regensburg yourself whats your take on this tourism boom i think its very positive experience the Humble Beginnings when there were 600 guided tours of the year here and now we have more than 6000 guided tours before that makes me happy every time i walk through the city and see people from all over the world enjoying drakensberg and it does you also understand more critical voices those who say its too much for regensburg it can do i know these voices but i dont quite understand them because as in many cities tourism here moves along specific paths just as in prague where it goes from the Old Town Square to the charles bridge to prague castle here its just over the stone bridge to the cathedral to the Old Town Hall to the left and right of this its called i dont have to walk right through the crowd when its busy i can also choose a side street so i can go survey and. If youre ever in reagans burg and looking for a really great place to eat this is the spot our faith located in the very heart of the city its a reagans birth institution the former brewery was taken over by students in 1977 and turned into a french style beast. What i loved about reagans very is the fact that there is an interesting story waiting around every corner from the romans to the middle ages of the efforts of solving early european conflicts and the right stack plus the regional specialties are delicious no wonder really the very after all. Our 3rd and last stop is pastel the city lies on the banks of 3 with this. This is where the danube in it is reversed meet. And bright in the middle of it all is the beautiful old town. The rivers are both a blessing and a curse they may pass all prone to floods but for centuries the waterways were important treaty routes the wealth brought to the city is reflected in its architecture. For example the 1st all bows its almost 800 years old and one of the largest surviving mediaval fortress complexes in europe. From the top there is a great view over the city of 3 rivers. Ive always wanted to visit possible because of its special location and of course when im here ill do a hike in the Bavarian Forest a popular destination not too far from. Us all is not only been shaped by its 3 rivers the citys former rulers also left their mark with their magnificent churches and castles their story is told in the 1st obamas museum its closed during the winter and reopens in mid march but they let me inside for a look. This is where in 1217 bishop alric the 2nd was given the title of prince bishop by the emperor of the bishops of possible became the spiritual and secular rulers over the city for generations the 1st oboes was home to the prince bishops. In the museum you can find out how passages old town was built in the 17th century most of the houses. Down so it tell you architects were called to rebuild the city style and thats how they designed possible. Possibles publicity brochures describe it as the ferry in venice and its true with its italian it flair and narrow lanes its one of the prettiest cities in bavaria. It has many striking churches and monasteries there are about 50 in all the bishopric of possible once extended as far as hungry. St stephens cathedral is in the middle of the old town the fact that its one of germanys largest parag churches becomes specially evident once youre inside. Everything here testifies to the wealth and power of possibles prince bishops. Because feed routes organised famous with its 17974 pipes its the largest of its kind in the world. The town hall is also designed in italian baroque style but the definitely sounds the varian. On the tele there are markers showing flood levels over the past centuries its hard to imagine. Now im eating in the fish from the aga on are just association hell be giving me a tour of her gusen a narrow street parallel to the danube its where. Many artists have their studios. Ferguss very popular with visitors specially in the summer. All the houses here date from the middle ages and our list of buildings. To have one special adult vegass i gotta this is not really the architecture of course but we artists also nice to add a bit of color you know tourists walk through here and we want to attract their attention we have lots of studios and we want to try to make art more accessible this week so we make an effort painted on all those times of aerial installations and all these nations in one small space and it works beautifully on this when the awful truth of.
