@@Nils_Ki There are even more now, but all of the streets have separated bike lanes with their own traffic signals so it's a lot safer and more efficient! I've been visiting for the last month and it still blows my mind every time I see rush hour bike traffic.
This was filmed while my father was growing up in Denmark. He was born in the year 1919. He became an American citizen when he and my mother got married in 1954 or 1955. He had just turned age 35. He took us to visit Denmark in 1969. A treasured memory!!
Everyone was well toned and in good shape getting proper exercise unlike today. In 10 years or so things would change for the worst. Another great video, NASS.
i wish i could go back in time to the year 1930 denmark see what the people wear back then and see the cars that they rode who wants to go back in time with me give me a hell yeah
3:05 is the "Shell house" which was used as Gestapo Headquarters in Denmark during the war. The Gestapo kept prisoners in cells at the top floor just below the roof as human shields against bombing raids. Nevertheless it was bombed at the request of Danish resistance to destroy Gestapo records and if possible to let prisoners escape. The british used delayed fuses in the hope that the bombs would only detonate at ground level, increasing the chance of prisoner survival.
Although I am English, I grew up living in Denmark in the mid 1960s, with the Family home a little North of Copenhagen, and a Flat in the City itself. The Danish kids taught me how to speak fluent Danish, including all of the swear words. This entertained grown up Danes no end, because although only 5 or 6 years old, I was quite happy to turn a room blue, fluently! Anyway, this video is all so familiar, despite the 30 year difference. Indeed, much of the buildings are still the same today, not that I've been able to get back there anywhere near as frequently as I would have liked. Not helped by DFDS unhelpfully stopping the Harwich to Esbjerg Ferry Route, which was a huge shame. This is because it cut off England from Denmark, at least going the civilised way with your car, that also involved a cabin, a bed and superb Danish restaurants.
My grandmother's family immigrated from the Aalborg area to the U.S. in 1903. I know they passed through London and I know the name of the boat they embarked on at Southampton, as well as the date they arrived in NYC. However, I've always wondered how they got from Aalborg to London--perhaps by train to the Danish west coast and then a passenger ferry, or a boat direct from Aalborg? Just curious as to what might have been their likely route and means of conveyance from that region of Denmark to London/Southhampton, in that era. (Too late to ask them now, obviously!)
@@jaysverrisson1536 I suspect it would probably have been from Esjberg to Harwich, as that's the shortest route to get from Denmark to close to London. Aalborg is much further North so, knowing seafarers, I suspect they'd not sail any further than needed if it was a regular crossing service. That said, anything could sail from any Port, so another route is not impossible, just less likely to be a scheduled one that crosses regularly. There's no reason a boat could not have sailed directly from Copenhagen to London, as both are Ports.
I also remember the DFDS ferries. I live in southern Norway. We used to have a daily ferry from Kristiansand to Harwich, and I remember the one to Esbjerg. Also there was a ferry to Newcastle . They still operate between Newcastle and Amsterdam.
0:22 Ah, where is the entrance to Tivoli Park on the right? There are four houses (they are gone now, of course). In theory, somewhere between them there should be an entrance to the park. I don't understand between which houses
I've been visiting Copenhagen for almost a month now and I think they may actually bike more here. 60% of people commute to work on bike. During rush hour it is really a sight to behold. I have spent a good amount of time just standing at the side of the street taking video of the masses of bikes going over the bridges. The numbers may be higher in Amsterdam (I don't know) but it's a very different feel. When I was last in Amsterdam it felt much more chaotic. Like, bikes reign supreme, and they are ridden down the same path you have to walk and if you're not always on the lookout, you're going to get run down. In CPH there are separated bike lanes on virtually every street, and it is very well organized. They have their own traffic signals and everything. Not to mention, the mass transit (which is also astonishingly good), also supports taking your bike. There are areas for bikes on busses and the trams, (like subways) actually have entire cars dedicated to people with bikes. They 70% of the car is wide open with fold down seats next to bike securement devices. (Also great for people with strollers or wheelchairs). As a tourist one of the first lessons you learn, hopefully, is how to respect the rules of bike lanes, especially if you are riding one. I drifted out of my "lane" a few days ago and had another rider firmly, but politely, tell me not to do that. He went on to tell me that the most dangerous thing in Copenhagen is a tourist on a bicycle. He said it with a smile though, so it took a bit of the sting out of being censured for what was, absolutely, my fault. But to an American like, myself, the bicycle culture in either city is really something to be envious of. I spent many years living in Portland, Oregon which is supposedly one of the most bike friendly cities in the US (they even have bike racks on the front of the buses) but it's night and day.
Is that Danske Private Bank in the opening street scene. Interesting to see company names from years ago and whether they still exist. Some go back a long way.
Privatbanken merged with Sparekassen SDS and Andelsbanken in 1990 to become Unibank A/S. Unibank later merged with Finnish and Swedish banks to become Nordea. I believe that what is now known as Danske Bank was called Landmandsbanken ("Farmers Bank") back then.
I've been staying in Copenhagen for the last month and there are even more bikes now! It is actually amazing how similar the street scenes are. Today in CPH over 60% of people commute to work by bike

“Today it might seem completely natural that Denmark enjoys the freedom and opportunity to portray our politicians in an ironic, teasing or comical fashion. It has been a standard part of our understanding of how to talk about politics, and it is difficult to imagine a newspaper without satirical cartoons to point out political differences, power balances and political personalities. This freedom of speech only became possible with the implementation of the constitutional act of 1849. Since then, the people of Denmark have had the right to express themselves freely in writing, speech - and in drawing!”

Incredible! Living in the city right now, it's so great to see how it was then :) Still so many bikes!
I would love to live like that!
Yes, and look how well bicyclists behaved in traffic back then.

I like the way the bikes are moving. Calm and respectful for each other. No racers, coming with 40km/h.
Fantastisk flot film og god farvelægning, godt gået
Realmente uma época de ouro 😊👍
Excellent as always NASS! , some suggestions for new cities
Oslo
Stockholm
Lisbon
Buenos Aires
Sheol
Johannesburg
Porto
Cardiff
Caracas
Thank you very much! I have taken note ;)

It seems that the street (Vesterbrogade) was wider in the 30s than it is now 4:15
Good job Nass!
thank you very much
The colour is great 😊
thank you very much
Brilliant😊
😊
Copenhagen hasn't changed much , most of the buildings are still there, and people are still on their bicycles! 😃
With all those bicycles, I would have guessed it's the Netherlands.

Its september 1939 second world war has begun, Germany has invaded Poland, as it tells on the poster on the news paper house of Politikken.
Тогда было больше велосипедов чем сейчас?
More cars in the streets today, but bicycles are still popular in the city, with own lanes.
I have a feeling there are more bicycles than now.
You would have done well were you a bicycle 🚲 manufacturer then!
I've been staying in Copenhagen for the last month and there are even more bikes now! It is actually amazing how similar the street scenes are. Today in CPH over 60% of people commute to work by bike
