A City round trip in the streets of old New York in 1939. The 16mm moving pictures show major spots such as the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River, Chelsea Pears, Streets and buildings in Manhattan, Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Jewish Area, Jersey and many more. Banned on film by the students Jan and Gerd Brügelmann from Cologne Germany. Also part of the travelling party is the famous architect Wilhelm Riphan. Combined with the sound of the swing era, the clip gives an entertaining and vivid impression of the atmosphere in the Big Apple.

Back in those days, you didn't dare set foot out of the house in anything less than a suit/tie and fedora, unless you were a manual laborer at work. That era had a classiness that will probably never return.
and people wore shoes instead of over priced trainers. Globalisation..Corporates...all shops look the same. Yes, culture has been lost in probably most countries where corporations have reached. If you look at colour footage of Albert Kahn's documentary taken at turn of the century, before 2 world wars and globalisation, every country had a national dress and own culture. It's on UA-cam...fascinating!
I would love to go back to that time period for a month or two and experience when NYC was really the capital of the world.
It's so remarkable how everyone is so well dressed every where they point the camera. It didn't matter if people were doing work-related things or just hanging out entertaining themselves. It's the epitome of being classy in such a beautiful city.
1939 15 years before I was born all of that was going on the the cars are amazing cities the people the clothes the music nice to see time before my time I love it thanks for the old movie keep them coming 👍
I didn't expect to be dancing swinging from one foot to the other through the entire length of the video... but that was exactly what happened since the first chord started to sound 🎉
My late Mother and maternal grandmother left Kansas City and had both moved to New York that same year, and what an exciting time and year that must of been!!
I live in New York city and it was so the best time, but here in USA. In Europe it was HELL.
I wish I could visit those times. I was born in 85
You Had Age Luck, And Me Who Was Born In 2006?
Just dig the heck out of these old vids. Back then men all wore fedoras, now they all wear ball caps. Can U imagine, they didn't have crosswalks back then. You had to cross the street at your own risk unless there was a cop there directing traffic. Art Deco is my favorite form of art and it was all over the place in those days.
Absolutely spectacular! Thank you!
Very interesting. Music sounds like 1920's not 1939 though.
Not 'swing' enough for '39. Dorsey's clearly on his way, though!
3:18 - That Jewish Deli in the Lower East Side must have been quite fascinating - to slow down the frame rate in the film...Probably remembers the best pastrami on rye (pickle, please) he's never gonna have back home.
Really amazing footage!
So cool to still see these same buildings in 2019. Built to last 😍
Even though few modern comforts, great time to hear live music
Nett und tolle Swingmusik.
NYC must be quite an intimidating city of the future for outsiders with her monumental skyscrapers. especially for folks straight out of the rural areas
a few years after the great depression and 2 years before the war, what a great city classic cars, nice people, clean streets, no fear of being attacked, mugged or even killed by a derailed mind like today: I wish I could have lived those years there, instead of many years later; anyhow thank you for this chance to look at the past.
The WW2 Started In 1939.
far more elegance beheld by this smudged b&w than this decades's poxily slim supertall midtown flats
This is 80 Freaking Years Ago
just to think how many of those men went to war in a couple of years
Love this clip.
I would enjoy going back to spend a day, pre war New York was a much different city.
When will someone finally show a film of old New York set to "Rhapsody In Blue"?
Awesome thank you
Awesome film!
As others have pointed out, the music doesn't quite fit. "Sing, Sing, Sing" might have been a little more period correct. Still - very cool to slip back in time for a few minutes.
Cool music track but to me, it does seem more flapper era (post-war 1) than pre ww2. Everyone's a critic, yeah. Overall, loved it.
You are perfectly right, this music is typical of jazz black bands (Fletcher Henderson, Don Redman ?) from the twenties. It is very nice anyway.
Name of this song? Or band leader, lead vocals? Anyone knowledge of this?
Many people who came here had to be desperate to leave where they came from, i lived in Berlin,Germany 10 wonderful years and came back my wife got sick the only reason to return, but look at things today i am looking at a 3rd world country and i am living here in Florida and watching America going down the Rabbit Hole, and thats due to the corrupt government.

The Dorsey brothers were playing their jazz in the late 1930s
Amazing!"!!
Born and raised in the NYC.
Hated everything about.
Just never felt home to me.
WOW .... 80 years ago!
They built New York we let it decay
My grandfather was born November 24th, 1939.
I luv nyc
Name of the song , please?
The kids you see here are probably in their 90s or 80s:)
back in the day, no internet dating hookups and no online porno, yikes!
lets goi em new york
i love you mom marianne inguanti
Thank you for video. Very interesting !
80 years ago. Wondering where are all these people buried. Ain't sure many people were cremated in that time.
While the footage is neat, the music is 10 year mismatch and out of sync with this period and senselessly dislocating. It's 'depression era', roaring twenties jingle hops not 1939/40 swing era jazz and band. Thanks for the upload.

What atreatto ride in a double decker bus of the 5th Ave. Bus Company!
Only in New York!
Time machine
the sims house will back
Just like Germans to focus on architecture instead of the lives being lived in it -- on human types. This clip has a curiously detached feel to it; only a few shots are "populated" or show any action, both of which things characterize NYC more than anything else -- esp. back then. It's not true to its subject. If we had filmed Berlin at the same time, I'd hope both the shooting and the editing would be such that we'd get a good feel for the city.
The music about Georgia doesn't match the venue.
Hp Gunther Well, it is about a gentleman from Georgia, and he is sentimental, so he may just live in New York ;P
Best time ever
1939... now imagine being one of immigrants from some village in Volhynia or another shithole, where you live in wooden hut in the middle of nowhere, and you come to New York with this skyscrapers and traffic...
Where is Nikola Tesla?
Sigh.
wory the 1939
No. Really. Best time? Maybe here in Amerika, but in the Europe it was so hard. And you do not take us to their country from hell (Europe) Why?

all this people in the video are now dead. They dont live anymore.
no, the kids
A lot of people born in the thirties are alive today, stupid. For example, Clint Eastwood was born in 1930.
CaptainBaseball No shit? Really?
CaptainBaseball like WW2 soilders that died
CaptainBaseball because the did drugs
Music is awful. I had to mute.
