    Hundreds of years of architectual development led us to the point where we turn down modern buildings and recreate medieval ones... I like this.

      Of course it does. Beautiful architecture makes us feel better so we rebuild. In Frankfurt someone decided not to rebuild just after the war. Now someone else decided to do so.

    I lived in Germany for six years and grew to love it. I don't think you can really appreciate Germany unless you live and work there. If you are going for a vacation or short visit it doesn't give you the time to understand why life is so different than the United States. In Germany you can learn to relax and enjoy what Europe has to offer. Can't wait to go back again.

    Frankfurt is often being underrated for being ugly or just a cold business town. But actually it firstly has very beautiful old parts and second the connection between the old and the new world makes it especially interesting and worth living.

    Thanks for the video. I lived in Frankfurt's Ostend from 1984 to 1995 and worked as graphic artist in ad agencies. From my window I had a direct view of the Grossmarkthalle. The Main was a 5 minute walk away and on Sunday I rode my bike along the Main to Hanau, across the bridge and returned via the other side. I liked Frankfurt's good connections for hashisch. I spent many evenings, listening to music and toking up.

    This is a fascinating discussion. But I don't know what to take from it. I've met Americans who love Germany, Americans who hate Germany, Germans who love America and Germans who hate America; as well as Americans who wish they lived in Germany and Americans who are glad they don't, and Germans who wish they lived in America and Germans are are glad they don't.

    It's interesting to see how the city has changed in the last six years. There are three new skyscrapers and a part of the oldtown between Römer and the cathedrale was reconstructed and even some ugly buildings next to the opera house were demolished and old buildings were reconstructed at the same place. The surrounding looks much better now.

    Now we are in 2018.
    No more converted trams as U-Bahn cars. All platforms have a consistant hight.
    The reconstruction of the Altstadt including a lot of houses alongside Braubachstraße is almost finished.
    The ECB near the Ostbahnhof and the greenspaces around are in use now.
    The old Henninger Turm was torn down and new one stands at its former place.
    ... time for a remake of your Frankfurt feature. :)

    I was in Frankfurt this summer and for me it was the best part of my visit to Germany. The thing that surprised me the most is that it is a city about the same size as mine that has shops selling almost anything you could want in addition to skyscrapers and a metro; the features I would usually associate to much larger cities.

    @drewnetwork You didn't notice some of them were horribly shaky? Maybe I'm being too hard on myself, but this really needs to be re-edited in my opinion. Preview in my video editor brought my CPU to its knees, so I didn't notice until after I'd rendered it, which took 2 hours on the fourth attempt. Apart from that, I'm quite pleased with it.

    @alameachan Frankfurts U-Bahn ist offiziell keine Stadtbahn -- ob diese differenzierung rechtfertigt ist, ist eine andere Frage, aber z.T. fahren Züge, die eher typisch für eine U-Bahn sind; außerdem ist bei einer Stadtbahn auf Strecken die StVO zu beachten, was in Ffm nicht der Fall ist. Ursprünglich sollte das Netz komplett als U-Bahn umgebaut werden, scheiterte aber wegen der zu hohen Kosten. Echte U-Bahn-Netze gibt's auch in München und Nürnberg, alle (bs auf Ffm) mit Stromschiene.

      The publuc transport doesn't feel as horrible as described though. And i've been using it daily for more than a decade. There are more than twenty different lines for trams, underground and S-Bahn to take you almost any place in Frankfurt. And that is in addition to bus lines. I certainly did not feel as mobile in some other towns.

    It runs pretty smoothly, just not quite as smoothly as most systems in other German cities. The problem really is that the plans were overly ambitious and were only half realised, resulting in a system that works, but is a bit of a nightmare to operate.

  • @alameachan
    @alameachan 13 років тому

    Das Stadtbahn-System findest du im Ruhrgebiet sehr häufig, und es wird immer noch gebaut. Dortmund und Bochum haben erst vor wenigen Jahren die meisten Straßenbahnlinien im Innenstadtbereich unterirdisch neu verlegt, während am Stadtrand immer noch oberirdisch gefahren wird. Und Oberleitungen sind hierzulande das vorherrschende System. Stromschiene hast du meines Wissens nur in Hamburg und Berlin. Die sind nämlich auch nicht der Weisheit letzter Schluss und für den Straßenraum auch ungeeignet.

    Frankfurt (Fráncfort del Meno o Fráncfort) es la ciudad más poblada del estado federado de Hesse (Alemania). Con casi 680.000 habitantes, es también la quinta ciudad más grande del país (tras Berlín, Hamburgo, Múnich y Colonia). Aunque la capital administrativa de Hesse es Wiesbaden, Fráncfort tiene una importancia histórica y económica mayor.

    Frankfurt (Frankfurt or Frankfurt) is the most populous federal state of Hesse (Germany) city. With nearly 680,000 inhabitants, is also the country's fifth largest city (after Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne). Although the administrative capital of Hesse is Wiesbaden, Frankfurt has a greater historical and economic importance.

    +rewboss to correct you about the u-bahn... i dont nothing about the history of frankfurt, but a system between subways and trams is normal in germany and mostly planed like this, its called stadtbahn and perfect for citys like frankfurt. there are just 4 citys in germany with a real subway, but much more with stadtbahnen, its a typical german thing and works perfect in citys between 250.000 and 1 million citizens. and its normal too that stadtbahnen mostly uses tramwagons and i must say, the public transport in frankfurt and the whole region is very good in my opinion.

    There is a tram/underground railways system in place here - but it is all for one kind of tram and very well organised.
