Argh den er blevet lavet på igennem tiden for at bevare dens look men faktisk også lavet om på først i 1978 og så igen i 1999 og så løbene i 0’erne men det så også udsmykningen selve banen er den samme og vognene har de rekonstrueret. Men jo ellers er det den samme men også vildt at tænke på 👌
I always wanted to go back in time to visit old Europe. Now, it has been made a reality. Thank you to all of the wonderful restorers of old film out there!
Please do come visit Denmark, what you see here is mostly preserved, we don't remove most old buildings, the outsides are preserved, while the insides are at times remodeled. Come visit have a few beers and enjoy the beauty!
@Rev2.9 I don't believe that to be the case for the places showcased here, maybe you're right when it comes down to the numbers, but simply looking around i see mostly old exteriors on the buildings. I get lost simply looking up during my trips around Nørreport for example. And the very large buildings like castles, famous libraries etc are all preserved of course.
I'm from Denmark. This is nuts! 40 minutes of footage from this tiny country 103 years ago 😱 Just wow!!! Thank you so much for making this, looking very much forward to seeing all of it 🙏😊❤️ Tak!
Peter Elfelt havde et filmkamera meget tidligt og lavede mange filmoptagelser allerede fra slutningen af 1800-tallet. Danmark blev senere førende internationalt i stumfilm.
Great, I think this is because Danish people and his authorities keep their traditions, I really liked your country, and interested to visit it in the futur, greetings from the United States, and exactly from New Jersey.
Turn this into VR and you my friend have a TIME MACHINE!!! This feels like the first time I saw the internet. I didn't truly comprehend what I was seeing. This is truly remarkable. It brings the past to the present!!
Now that would be amazing. I have never tried VR and I'm 33 (can't afford a headset LOL), but I can't wait for a day when we can do this like you said, or even visit famous museums and landmarks like we are standing right there. I know people are working on it as we speak.
It’s kinda cool when you see an old man with a grey beard on that theme park train and realize that he was probably born in 1850’s and actually lived most of his productive life in the 19th century.
"Beautiful Denmark" is a very appropriate description of this film. I would go further and say Idyllic Denmark as much of the architecture is magnificent and the people are so well-mannered. Superb restoration of the film - very natural.👍😄
Thinking that I'm watching people who were born around mid to end of 1850s just blows my mind! This is the closest we get to a time machine! Really amazing ❤
For now. Eventually they'll figure out a way to generate videos of places and people from scratch. It'll probably take quantum computing or maybe additional gains in "AI" though.
@@emmettkeyser1110 I can picture virtual reality 10-20 years from now allowing people to journey around cities and places in the past. Think of something like the assain's creed games but then make it almost 100% life-like. You want to know what it was like at the invasion of Normandy? You will! You want to watch the Hindenburg disaster like you were standing in the crowd? Now you can! It is just a matter of time.

The large church at 19.18 is Odense Domkirke (Sankt Hans Kirke). The pontoon bridge at 17.43 is from Aalborg. I think the large white building in the back is Hotel Royal that's still in use today. God liste du har lavet!
@@NelleC Tak Odense havde jeg slet ikke tænkt på. Aalborg havde jeg overvejet mht broer, men har ikke fotos til at checke det med. Kommer der ikke så tit. 😉
I've always loved these AI upscaled and enhanced old footage, but i've never clicked faster on a video when i saw it was my own country! I watched the whole thing in awe and i recognized most of the places! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm happy that so many of those buildings still exist, and you can still ride Tivoli's classic rollercoaster "Den Gamle Rutsjebane" seen at 1:01. I've stood where those smiling people were waving at the rollercoaster from, and tried the ride several times, and the only distinctive change in that scene is how people are dressed. It creates a deep connection to the past, to think that we share many sights and attractions with people who were there over a hundred years ago. Times change, but some things didn't change much at all. Some things outlived people, and connected us over time. If that rollercoaster could transport me to the past to meet the people seen in this incredible restored footage, I'd be sure to have something experiential of Copenhagen in common with them.
Absolutely the best enhancement I have ever seen! Especially on a few segments that look to be from 1900. As if they were filmed yesterday! It not hard to see why sunny, southerly CopenHagen was admired by all Scandinavians. Without this film it would be impossible to imagine a city where horses worked in tandem with cars, trams and bicycles. No signs of half-starved, overworked horses that show up in similar vintage films from some other countries. I wonder if viewers fully understand how much work goes into getting these enhancements so realistic. It's not just a matter of apps and a few clicks. Out there somewhere on UA-cam is a spot that shows details of colorizing. If I understand it correctly, there's an easier way with one or two layers. But, the most realistic results come from applying more and more layers, with patience and a good eye for what's most natural. Of course all of this compilation predates the advent of sound, 1927. What has been added here is close to perfection: crashing waves, sounds of an outdoor market, birds singing in a park, the music of an amusement park ... yust every possible detail. Thank you again. Looking forward to every new instalment.
It is however strange how there is a total absence of certain colors, especially red. The Danish flag shown many times is supposed to be red, not blue! here brown and blue dominate, else it's amazing to watch.
@@_Everyone__ Sadly, that will always happen with colorized film. I don't know much about the process, so don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure it is impossible to guess what black and white colors originally were, and most of the time the crew will go off of the average pallet of the time period, doing their best. I don't even think the best AI in the world 100 years from now could put real original color back in colorless films :(
Thye were not though. The Great War had just ended and only two decades later, the Holocaust started. When this footage was shot, it was only 5 years ago women were given the right to wote.
You took my word right out of my mouth, im danish and proud to be, but we live in a sick world today, i would love to live in 1920 or back in my childhood, rather than this sick work where everything is about power and corruption in a scale never matched bf
Thank you for the trip back in time, to see beautiful Denmark. As a modern day amateur UA-camr making high quality walking videos from Denmark, this is fascinating. It would be cool to make a comparison video side by side with these old clips, from the exact places, 103 years ago 🤔🙂 Again, thank you for the restoration of this incredible footage 🙏🏻
Amazing how tidy it looks compared to today. Denmark is still pretty tidy, but you can sense the rot creeping in in Copenhagen, in places. Many parts are starting to look as grubby as Berlin.
You wouldn't see much change in the buildings in the centre of Copenhagen, I would guess that 90% of them are still there. Major changes are in the infrastructure, roadways etc.
The main thing I notice is the level of activity. I always thought it was the playback speed, but looking at this closely I really think there is a difference in how people move around like they are in a hurry or can't be bothered.
I surprised, how little have changed in Copenhagen. Maybe the bikes more modern, fashion changed a bit, and not so many horses. But the buildings and rushhours is the same. Agriculture, fishery and docks changed a lot i think, they used to be so labour intensive.
Exactly... I was thinking the same. It all looks very much like we see it now. The vintage cars, horses and clothes are obviously the exception, but otherwise it just looks surpisingly normal. I was expecting things to be much different.
Life had quality those days. Women were dressed so nicely. Everyone with his own bicycle was a king. Less vehicles on the road and more people. A small boat was faster than tram. People looked so happy. Younger and elderly both were fascinated by camera. Beautiful architecture and infrastructure.
Wow this is amazing, as a dane im really surprised that the streets, buildings & nature looks way more clean and beatiful than today! The picture in my head was running sewers on the streets with horse remains everywhere.
One thing to consider is population. There's an extra 2.6 million people living in Denmark now, living standards have improved and getting something like snacks while out of the house would be infinitely more feasible and easy accessible to everyone than it was back then. Likewise, the nature in Denmark is still freaking marvelous - Living in West Zealand I'm fairly close to bigger cities, but never more than a few minutes away from picturesque scenery.
Hej All! At 17.45 shows the pontonbridge from Aalborg to Nørresundby! And after that the Old railwaybridge! The White building in the background was Hotel Royal! The building is still there! Now used as appartments! You Can also see Nørresundby Church! Me and my wide Got married there in 1986! Great film! Love it! Hans-Jørn Mortensen!
Thank you :) I would love to produce more, but it is quiet costly both time and money wise. And until now youtube does not want to monetize this channel :(
I think it must be remade. Speed of movements clearly failed here, it's not 60fps which everyone see. Colors still far away, but the speed was the only thing algorithms making good, maybe later color can be made more accurately. Here speed is broken, so the value is near zero.
You have restored this marvelous footage with spectacular results. Thank you for sharing it with UA-cam. The images are so colourful, crisp and vivid in places. A time of environmental purity, though admittedly, in the aftermath of the First World War.
The gravitas ! Those magnificent buildings and people looked so dignified and impressive with their clothing and hats. Now we just slouch around in hoodies and trainers at all ages !
I'm not Danish (Scottish) but still found this film enchanting ... it was interesting to see how life was 100 years ago ... so much was the same yet lots of differences too ... a charming little film ... and ps your country is beautiful.
Magnifique,🤩🙏 merci beaucoup pour ce travail de restauration , c'est formidable et gratifiant de pouvoir se replonger dans la vie d'il y a un Siècle, quels beaux paysages,et c'est très reposant comparé à notre vie tumultueuse,en espérant voir vos prochaines vidéos,je vous félicite 👏👍
So, what this dear Frenchman is saying is something along the line of: "Wonderful,🤩🙏 thank you so much for this restoration work, it’s great and rewarding to be able to dive back into the life of a Century, what beautiful landscapes,and it’s very relaxing compared to our tumultuous life, hoping to see your next videos,I congratulate you."
Streets full of people, cyclists and streetcars, almost no cars. A century later people believe its a human right to go by car everywhere. Thanks for the restauration of these films.
These pictures are extraordinary. I see them with strange feelings of nostalgia and melancholy !? My great and grandparents and mother as a child would be ghosts living in these times. And then the dark clouds of history swept over them, the great grandparents didn’t survive.
21:37 Helsingborg - Helsingör ferries going between Denmark and Sweden with Kronborg castle in the back! Amazing footage, thank you for restoring and sharing 💙
I won the lottery being born in Denmark! I love my country, thanks for this beautiful restoration. Many of the views in this video is still present to this Day in its exact form, the old rollercoaster as example is still rideable and copenhagen central station has not changed thst much either. Edit: my hometown Fredensborg is also present in this video! Wow 😊 the castle of Fredensborg and the Kongebroen 12:49
I have recently visited our capitol....wonderfull København. A lot...a lot! looks exactly the same. Todays cars fill up a lot....and tourists! But never the less..... København is a spectacular city!!
the steam boat at 15:30 is still operating today. You can even see sky mountain in the distance at the top of the hill. Looking closer at it i can tell that its actually the habour in Laven. Its still there and looks similar to the old harbour.
Absolutely love the old gentleman waving his hat everyone on the Rollercoaster.. And they all wave back, lovely. Those cliff side houses must be all long gone
How beautiful!! Everyone looks so stylish. Wish I can see that now. Looks like a fairy tale. They look happier than people today. Buildings are so beautiful. So much nicer than any modern building.
These fixes to old footage are utterly fantastic. They make history so much more relatable and tangible. Much better than the grainy, black and white, wrong speed films we used to watch. Everything is so much more human. I might often have thought that people had to squeeze into those suits and dresses reluctantly, or consider them uncomfortable, same with the beach wear, but nothing of the sort, people look so natural, (naturally lol), with real agency and character just like today (of course lol) but it was always missing from the old clips which removed you even further from the humanity of people in the past. These clips however bring it that back. I hope all the film ever shot pre 1930 for example, can get the same treatment in time and affirm that people of the past were literally exactly like us and dispel the idea latent in most people today that our tech advances somehow makes us superior humans with superior lifestyles. They don't. And what a great place to live, quaint idyllic towns, beautiful architecture, life at human pace, purposeful physical work, little tourism, little over crowding. Oh well.
at 8:27 the "cliffs" have fallen way more back and 1/3 of the church because of the cliff falling, is now gone and in the ocean, its really fascinating to see how it all looked back then as a Dane.
My Grandfather came from Denmark through Ellis Island back in 1906 or thereabouts. I was in Copenhagen back in the 70's and saw my last name everywhere. Petersen with an E before N not O!! LOL I like it when they are able to colorize early movies. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making this possible to watch, funny to see, my grandmother was 11 yo back then growing up in Fredriksberg Copenhagen, with parents owning a butcher shop and my granfather being a sea captain at Gothland.
@@thegamer813 That was Copenhagen, of course there were non ethnic people in Copenhagen 100 years back, but Artificial Intelligence colorizing a video does not care about ethnicity. But yes, not as many as when immigration really started back in 1950 / 1960.
19:19 that is in Odense 😮I think it is called Sankt Knuds kirke , Ive walked past this view many time , thank you for showing us all these wonderful bits of Danish history. So much guessing and recognizing
Wow, it's really wonderful, it was very very beautiful, and until now Denmark is very beautiful country, greetings from the United States, exactly from New Jersey.😍✌
Fascinating!! Particularly like the chap walking bottom left right at the beginning of the video, with his right arm on his hip. Obviously wants to be looked at!!
А кто заметил, что в кадрах редко встречаются дети. Совсем нет детей в колясках и малышей. Первые этажи зданий утоплены в землю и,, торчат,, окошки, только на половину. Люди выглядят самодостаточными, все хорошо одеты, одежда не из масс-маркета. И что удивительно, все в головных уборах. Такое ощущение, что все жители были заселены в готовый город. Ведь при наличии повозок и лошадей, построить такие великолепные здания, невозможно. Фильм вызвал восхищение! Спасибо.
As a "late-life" only child, I grew up with this music. My parents were born in 1920 and 1921, and Dad served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. They played this music constantly in our home, and I consider it part of my soul. God bless you Mom and Dad!
I am just amazed how you find and add the ambient "noise" since this video was taken without sound, right? You must have a huge foley gallery. This one @26:31 min. et seq. is obviously funny with the forest birds singing in an amputated tree branches trees cobblestone street.
One of the cleanest cities I have ever been to.Wish I could of met Hans Christian Anderson alive as I visited his grave sight in Copenhagen. It was beautiful with Pansies allover......
Thank you for this amazing restoration. Great work! It's relaxing to look into the past and recognize much simpler life was then. In many ways, they were better off than we are today.
Around 3.30 minutes or so the the ladies on the quayside selling fish ....my dad born 1923 said he remembered going down to the waterside in Sunderland (the river wear) with his mam to buy fish and the ladies there were dressed in a very similar way......the skirts the shawls tucked in....... the head wear was a head scarf with a flat cap over the top and some of them had clay pipes.....😊......such a beautiful video ....
0:26 Thorvaldsens Museum. Behind it is Christiansborg Slotskirke. 0:44 Holmens Kirke. Interesting there is no canal going next to that church anymore. In the background is 'Vor Frelsers Kirke' (The Church of Our Savior) 0:56 Tivoli Entrance 1:11 'Den Gamle Rutsjebane'(The old rollercoaster). Still exists today. 1:45 Magasin du Nord. Designed by Albert Jensen. To the left is the Royal Theater. 1:57 Marmorkirken 2:30 Amalienborg. The Queen's winter residence. In the middle of it is 'Rytterstatuen'(Rider statue). Considering these images the Royal Guards were a bit more relaxed back then. 2:46 Amalienborg. There are 4 buildings. One for the queen, one is a museum, one is a guest house, and one houses the Crown prince's family. 3:56 Christiansborg Castle. Total it is the workplace for the Danish Parliament, The Supreme Court, and Prime Ministry. 4:12 Børsen. Where the stock exchange used to be. The building is iconic for its spire that consists of three dragon tails. It has survived both major Copenhagen fires whilst all other buildings around has burned. 4:31 On the right is Skt. Nikolajs Church. Just right of the second bridge is Højbro Plads. 4:31 'Rundetårn'(Round tower) can be seen in the background. 5:02 Kongens Nytorv. 5:09 Tivoli Entrance 5:25 Tivoli, Nimb 5:46 Strøget at Storkespringvandet. 6:29 Højbro Plads. Just behind Storkespringvandet. 7:06 Inderhavnsbroen. 7:38 Langelinie. Top left you can see 'Trekroner fortet' 9:11 Copenhagen Central Station 9:39 Copenhagen Central Station 10:14 Rådhuspladsen. In the background you can see Paladshotellet(Palace Hotel) 10:19 Rådhuspladsen. Copenhagen Town Hall 10:45 DFDS or Titanic. 10:50 Rosenborg Slot. 11:05 Søtorvet. Recorded from 'Dronning Louises bro' 12:42 Rosenborg Slot igen. 12:53 Fredensborg Slot. 17:36 Viborg Town Hall. Today it is Skovgaard museum. 18:08 No idea. I can only think of two places(Aalborg and Middlefart) with train crossings like this but both seems to be significant longer than this. 21:27 Kronborg Slot 28:33 Gråsten Slot 28:55 Gråsten Torvet 7. None of those buildings stand there today. 29:37 The little mermaid. Building in background was the Schalburgtage. It was blown up by germans in 1944 in retaliation against a resistance movement. 30:37 Eremitageslottet 31:53 Skodsborg Badehotel. 38:51 Sankt Albani Church in Odense. Church still stands. Building next to is gone. 39:22 Sønderborg 39:29 Sønderborg Slot. This is where Christian the 2nd was imprisoned.
I watched your video "Amazing Restored Variety Show from the early 1940s" and I got nostalgic to an era I wasn't even born yet. Great to see old videos colorized and enhanced, it really brings the viewer back in time. I hope, if it's okay, could you colorize and enhance old videos of Manila from year 1930s?
Amazing video, I recognized the Central train station, Looked a lot more clean back then. Thank you for sharing this moment of nostalgia, I love videos that make me SMILE. 🙂🙂🙂
Nok ikke bedre. Det var præcis på den tid de spæde skridt til velfærdsstaten blev lagt. Vi fik den første socialreform med Kanslergadeforliget i 1933. Første ferielov blev vedtaget i 1938.
4:52 The city square. In the background you can see H.C.Andersens boulevard with wide paths for walking, trees and lawns in an almost park-like setup. This has been replaced with three lanes for cars in each direction and it now one of the busiest and most polluted street in Copenhagen. The building in the top right corner, is the old Industriens Hus, which has since been replaced and later updated to feature a modern glass and steel facade. In some ways I feel we have regressed...
Møgeltønder og Schackenborg slot og slotsgade har man virkelig passet godt på, det ligner jo sig selv. Er opvokset i Tønder, og har mange gange i min barndom været i Møgeltønder. Meget spændende at få et kig tilbage i fortiden. Videoer som denne er virkeligt uvurderlige. Tak for upload!
Super interesting. And I have always been told that everyone in the old times was dying on the streets, sick and poor and blah, blah, blah. Certainly doesnt look like this in this extensive video. And I most certainly prefer the old times, very relaxed, lots of beautiful nature, beautiful clothing, etc. Today's stress is unbearable.
Remember, you only see the nice part. Lot's of poverty in the late 1920's and with the Wall Street crash in 1929. My Grandfather went bankrupt after this. That affected most of Europe. Also remember that the first Social Act was made 1933 and the first vacation law came in 1938. Life was tuff.

Damn that ride lives longer and have seen so much 😮
My father was born in Copenhagen in 1921 - he often told me of his visits to the Tivoli Gardens.
Many thanks for posting this.
looked like an amazing city before the races and religions mixed together
The roller coaster is still there 🙂

I get lost simply looking up during my trips around Nørreport for example. And the very large buildings like castles, famous libraries etc are all preserved of course.
@Rev2.9 That is not true, Copenhagen is made up of old architecture
I'm from Denmark. This is nuts! 40 minutes of footage from this tiny country 103 years ago 😱 Just wow!!! Thank you so much for making this, looking very much forward to seeing all of it 🙏😊❤️ Tak!
Peter Elfelt havde et filmkamera meget tidligt og lavede mange filmoptagelser allerede fra slutningen af 1800-tallet.
Danmark blev senere førende internationalt i stumfilm.

Great, I think this is because Danish people and his authorities keep their traditions, I really liked your country, and interested to visit it in the futur, greetings from the United States, and exactly from New Jersey.

Turn this into VR and you my friend have a TIME MACHINE!!! This feels like the first time I saw the internet. I didn't truly comprehend what I was seeing. This is truly remarkable. It brings the past to the present!!
Now that would be amazing. I have never tried VR and I'm 33 (can't afford a headset LOL), but I can't wait for a day when we can do this like you said, or even visit famous museums and landmarks like we are standing right there. I know people are working on it as we speak.
It’s kinda cool when you see an old man with a grey beard on that theme park train and realize that he was probably born in 1850’s and actually lived most of his productive life in the 19th century.
"Beautiful Denmark" is a very appropriate description of this film. I would go further and say Idyllic Denmark as much of the architecture is magnificent and the people are so well-mannered. Superb restoration of the film - very natural.👍😄
"well-mannered", what do you compare that to?

Thinking that I'm watching people who were born around mid to end of 1850s just blows my mind! This is the closest we get to a time machine! Really amazing ❤
I agree with you that a video from the past blows the mind.
For now. Eventually they'll figure out a way to generate videos of places and people from scratch. It'll probably take quantum computing or maybe additional gains in "AI" though.
And their parents and grandparents were born BEFORE and right around the time that the United States became its own country. That is friggin insane.

no billboards, no graffitis, not a cellphone in sight... no agressivity. truly was another epoch
do you think mixing of races has helped or hurt society
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db It is destroying our civilization.
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db it has hurt.
I agree. And UA-cam censors poltically incorrect comments.
No aggressiveness? There was plenty of it. In many ways it was worse. It's just not what they chose to film.
Danke für die Arbeit und Zugänglichkeit, eine schöne zeitreise in eine iwie schönere zeit ❤
Sehr gerne 🤗
Absolutely wonderful. My ancestors were from Denmark. It’s so nice to see their lives in color. A blessing for me.
Thank you so much for sharing. 💕
I'm happy that so many of those buildings still exist, and you can still ride Tivoli's classic rollercoaster "Den Gamle Rutsjebane" seen at 1:01. I've stood where those smiling people were waving at the rollercoaster from, and tried the ride several times, and the only distinctive change in that scene is how people are dressed. It creates a deep connection to the past, to think that we share many sights and attractions with people who were there over a hundred years ago. Times change, but some things didn't change much at all. Some things outlived people, and connected us over time. If that rollercoaster could transport me to the past to meet the people seen in this incredible restored footage, I'd be sure to have something experiential of Copenhagen in common with them.
'Times change, but some things didn't change much at all. ' - what a wonderfully original observation...
yeah you would have alot more in common with these folks ,then you have with the ppl hanging around there today...
It’s just “Rutsjebanen”.
“Den Gamle” seems like you’ve been influenced by watching this :)
I took that ride this year as well and I almost cried. too scary for me😂
That Ferris wheel ride immediately after at @1:36 looks way too fragile.
Absolutely the best enhancement I have ever seen! Especially on a few segments that look to be from 1900. As if they were filmed yesterday!
It not hard to see why sunny, southerly CopenHagen was admired by all Scandinavians. Without this film it would be impossible to imagine a city where horses worked in tandem with cars, trams and bicycles.
No signs of half-starved, overworked horses that show up in similar vintage films from some other countries.
I wonder if viewers fully understand how much work goes into getting these enhancements so realistic. It's not just a matter of apps and a few clicks.
Out there somewhere on UA-cam is a spot that shows details of colorizing. If I understand it correctly, there's an easier way with one or two layers.
But, the most realistic results come from applying more and more layers, with patience and a good eye for what's most natural.
Of course all of this compilation predates the advent of sound, 1927. What has been added here is close to perfection: crashing waves, sounds of an outdoor market, birds singing in a park, the music of an amusement park ... yust every possible detail.
Thank you again. Looking forward to every new instalment.
It is however strange how there is a total absence of certain colors, especially red. The Danish flag shown many times is supposed to be red, not blue! here brown and blue dominate, else it's amazing to watch.
@@_Everyone__ Sadly, that will always happen with colorized film. I don't know much about the process, so don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure it is impossible to guess what black and white colors originally were, and most of the time the crew will go off of the average pallet of the time period, doing their best.
I don't even think the best AI in the world 100 years from now could put real original color back in colorless films :(
I’m from Denmark and we are big on keeping history alive, so many things are still standing and looking like back then. It’s fascinating to watch.
Racist
Astonishing film. Beautiful city. Lived there in the 1980s, still really pretty 2023.
Thanks for a few minutes of pure joy.❤
I'm a Dane and living in the heart of Copenhagen. I will say the city is now more beautiful than it was in the 80's. ;)
Yes, it's really beautiful, and it's people is also beautiful, I'm intersted to visit you in some day, greetings from the United States.
People look much more civilised than today.
Life was beautiful and real. VIVA EUROPA!
Unlike today, people were disciplined as children, so that they knew how to behave as adults.
Thye were not though.
The Great War had just ended and only two decades later, the Holocaust started.
When this footage was shot, it was only 5 years ago women were given the right to wote.
Du ser jo kun forsiden af medaljen
You took my word right out of my mouth, im danish and proud to be, but we live in a sick world today, i would love to live in 1920 or back in my childhood, rather than this sick work where everything is about power and corruption in a scale never matched bf
Thank you for the trip back in time, to see beautiful Denmark.
As a modern day amateur UA-camr making high quality walking videos from Denmark, this is fascinating.
It would be cool to make a comparison video side by side with these old clips, from the exact places, 103 years ago 🤔🙂
Again, thank you for the restoration of this incredible footage 🙏🏻
That would indeed be interesting :)
Amazing how tidy it looks compared to today. Denmark is still pretty tidy, but you can sense the rot creeping in in Copenhagen, in places. Many parts are starting to look as grubby as Berlin.
@@vernonhedge4530 Lucky I live in aarhus. It looks nearly the exact same in 90% of the places here.
You wouldn't see much change in the buildings in the centre of Copenhagen, I would guess that 90% of them are still there. Major changes are in the infrastructure, roadways etc.
The main thing I notice is the level of activity. I always thought it was the playback speed, but looking at this closely I really think there is a difference in how people move around like they are in a hurry or can't be bothered.
What a beautiful country.
Thank You - we do our best... so did our fathers and mothers... :o)))

I surprised, how little have changed in Copenhagen. Maybe the bikes more modern, fashion changed a bit, and not so many horses. But the buildings and rushhours is the same. Agriculture, fishery and docks changed a lot i think, they used to be so labour intensive.
Exactly... I was thinking the same. It all looks very much like we see it now. The vintage cars, horses and clothes are obviously the exception, but otherwise it just looks surpisingly normal. I was expecting things to be much different.

Life had quality those days. Women were dressed so nicely. Everyone with his own bicycle was a king. Less vehicles on the road and more people. A small boat was faster than tram. People looked so happy. Younger and elderly both were fascinated by camera. Beautiful architecture and infrastructure.
I agree with you that life had quality those days!
now everyone dress like a ho e😂
True💯
People had their problems as today. Life was probably simpler though.
Wow this is amazing, as a dane im really surprised that the streets, buildings & nature looks way more clean and beatiful than today!
The picture in my head was running sewers on the streets with horse remains everywhere.
One thing to consider is population. There's an extra 2.6 million people living in Denmark now, living standards have improved and getting something like snacks while out of the house would be infinitely more feasible and easy accessible to everyone than it was back then.
Likewise, the nature in Denmark is still freaking marvelous - Living in West Zealand I'm fairly close to bigger cities, but never more than a few minutes away from picturesque scenery.
Hej All! At 17.45 shows the pontonbridge from Aalborg to Nørresundby! And after that the Old railwaybridge! The White building in the background was Hotel Royal! The building is still there! Now used as appartments! You Can also see Nørresundby Church! Me and my wide Got married there in 1986! Great film! Love it! Hans-Jørn Mortensen!
Very good quality, the remaster is super successful! I'd love to have more of it!
Thank you :) I would love to produce more, but it is quiet costly both time and money wise. And until now youtube does not want to monetize this channel :(
I think it must be remade. Speed of movements clearly failed here, it's not 60fps which everyone see. Colors still far away, but the speed was the only thing algorithms making good, maybe later color can be made more accurately. Here speed is broken, so the value is near zero.
I agree with you that the remaster is supper successful. I love the work that was done to make this video.
You have restored this marvelous footage with spectacular results. Thank you for sharing it with UA-cam. The images are so colourful, crisp and vivid in places. A time of environmental purity, though admittedly, in the aftermath of the First World War.
It looks like a cartoon, horrible AI upscaling
The gravitas ! Those magnificent buildings and people looked so dignified and impressive with their clothing and hats. Now we just slouch around in hoodies and trainers at all ages !

i didn't expect my hometown to be in this video, "Fredensborg" its really fascinating to see how different yet the same everything looks.
Streets full of people, cyclists and streetcars, almost no cars. A century later people believe its a human right to go by car everywhere. Thanks for the restauration of these films.
@@chronicreader Copenhagen is great in that regard for todays standards, but there are still a lot of cars compared to then
These pictures are extraordinary. I see them with strange feelings of nostalgia and melancholy !? My great and grandparents and mother as a child would be ghosts living in these times. And then the dark clouds of history swept over them, the great grandparents didn’t survive.
Beautiful place, beautiful people...and just a few years later unimaginable hell broke loose all over Europe.
The tragedy of the Great War ended in 1918...unless you are thinking of World War II which began in 1939. (almost two decades away)

1000 tak - det er fantastisk at se på - smukt og dejligt 🙂
I can recognize so many places from Copenhagen. A lot fewer cars, it was actually nicer back then.
Apart from the smell and water supply
I have recently visited our capitol....wonderfull København. A lot...a lot! looks exactly the same. Todays cars fill up a lot....and tourists! But never the less..... København is a spectacular city!!
What a beautiful city, fantastic pictures, thank you very much!
the steam boat at 15:30 is still operating today. You can even see sky mountain in the distance at the top of the hill. Looking closer at it i can tell that its actually the habour in Laven. Its still there and looks similar to the old harbour.
Absolutely love the old gentleman waving his hat everyone on the Rollercoaster.. And they all wave back, lovely. Those cliff side houses must be all long gone
This footage makes it look like someone was ahead of the times! Simply amazing!!

This was a beautifully restored film. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I am glad the video was shared as well.
How beautiful!! Everyone looks so stylish. Wish I can see that now. Looks like a fairy tale. They look happier than people today. Buildings are so beautiful. So much nicer than any modern building.
These fixes to old footage are utterly fantastic. They make history so much more relatable and tangible. Much better than the grainy, black and white, wrong speed films we used to watch. Everything is so much more human. I might often have thought that people had to squeeze into those suits and dresses reluctantly, or consider them uncomfortable, same with the beach wear, but nothing of the sort, people look so natural, (naturally lol), with real agency and character just like today (of course lol) but it was always missing from the old clips which removed you even further from the humanity of people in the past. These clips however bring it that back. I hope all the film ever shot pre 1930 for example, can get the same treatment in time and affirm that people of the past were literally exactly like us and dispel the idea latent in most people today that our tech advances somehow makes us superior humans with superior lifestyles. They don't. And what a great place to live, quaint idyllic towns, beautiful architecture, life at human pace, purposeful physical work, little tourism, little over crowding. Oh well.
I think you made a really good comment about this video!

at 8:27 the "cliffs" have fallen way more back and 1/3 of the church because of the cliff falling, is now gone and in the ocean, its really fascinating to see how it all looked back then as a Dane.

No graffiti (you are beginning to import that wholesale).

@@thegamer813 That was Copenhagen, of course there were non ethnic people in Copenhagen 100 years back, but Artificial Intelligence colorizing a video does not care about ethnicity. But yes, not as many as when immigration really started back in 1950 / 1960.
And most noticeably: No phones.
Sounds like yall think life was better in those days! :D
This copulation of film footage is outstanding, thank you! Cheers from Atlantic Canada👍🏼😎🇨🇦
In those days, the people chase after the cameras. These days, cameras chase after the people.
True
Astonishing...every frame an impressionist masterpiece.
19:19 that is in Odense 😮I think it is called Sankt Knuds kirke , Ive walked past this view many time , thank you for showing us all these wonderful bits of Danish history. So much guessing and recognizing
Wow, it's really wonderful, it was very very beautiful, and until now Denmark is very beautiful country, greetings from the United States, exactly from New Jersey.😍✌
The revolving bridge is something to behold. Like out of a Jules Verne novel
Well said
Fascinating!! Particularly like the chap walking bottom left right at the beginning of the video, with his right arm on his hip. Obviously wants to be looked at!!
А кто заметил, что в кадрах редко встречаются дети. Совсем нет детей в колясках и малышей. Первые этажи зданий утоплены в землю и,, торчат,, окошки, только на половину. Люди выглядят самодостаточными, все хорошо одеты, одежда не из масс-маркета. И что удивительно, все в головных уборах. Такое ощущение, что все жители были заселены в готовый город. Ведь при наличии повозок и лошадей, построить такие великолепные здания, невозможно. Фильм вызвал восхищение! Спасибо.
А на первых кадрах женщина разговаривает по мобильному телефону 😉
As a "late-life" only child, I grew up with this music. My parents were born in 1920 and 1921, and Dad served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. They played this music constantly in our home, and I consider it part of my soul. God bless you Mom and Dad!
I am just amazed how you find and add the ambient "noise" since this video was taken without sound, right? You must have a huge foley gallery.
This one @26:31 min. et seq. is obviously funny with the forest birds singing in an amputated tree branches trees cobblestone street.
As mentioned one comment, Videos showing civilised people and advancement infrastructure in that period is amazing.
❤❤
Life being lived at a natural pace, by people amongst their own.
What’s there not to like.
The death and disease. Ww1 and 2. Spanish flue. Poverty and ignorance
You must be fun at parties
@@ehsanag5837 anyway, no ww1 in Denmark
The almost zero and low lvl health care system.
One of the cleanest cities I have ever been to.Wish I could of met Hans Christian Anderson alive as I visited his grave sight in Copenhagen. It was beautiful with Pansies allover......
Wahnsinn....so schön
Thank you for this amazing restoration. Great work! It's relaxing to look into the past and recognize much simpler life was then. In many ways, they were better off than we are today.
All of these people are long gone, not just in this video but all over the rest of the world.
Around 3.30 minutes or so the the ladies on the quayside selling fish ....my dad born 1923 said he remembered going down to the waterside in Sunderland (the river wear) with his mam to buy fish and the ladies there were dressed in a very similar way......the skirts the shawls tucked in....... the head wear was a head scarf with a flat cap over the top and some of them had clay pipes.....😊......such a beautiful video ....
England btw 😊...
0:26 Thorvaldsens Museum. Behind it is Christiansborg Slotskirke.

1:45 Magasin du Nord. Designed by Albert Jensen. To the left is the Royal Theater.
1:57 Marmorkirken
2:30 Amalienborg. The Queen's winter residence. In the middle of it is 'Rytterstatuen'(Rider statue). Considering these images the Royal Guards were a bit more relaxed back then.
2:46 Amalienborg. There are 4 buildings. One for the queen, one is a museum, one is a guest house, and one houses the Crown prince's family.
3:56 Christiansborg Castle. Total it is the workplace for the Danish Parliament, The Supreme Court, and Prime Ministry.
4:12 Børsen. Where the stock exchange used to be. The building is iconic for its spire that consists of three dragon tails. It has survived both major Copenhagen fires whilst all other buildings around has burned.
4:31 On the right is Skt. Nikolajs Church. Just right of the second bridge is Højbro Plads.
4:31 'Rundetårn'(Round tower) can be seen in the background.
5:02 Kongens Nytorv.

11:05 Søtorvet. Recorded from 'Dronning Louises bro'
12:42 Rosenborg Slot igen.
12:53 Fredensborg Slot.
17:36 Viborg Town Hall. Today it is Skovgaard museum.
18:08 No idea. I can only think of two places(Aalborg and Middlefart) with train crossings like this but both seems to be significant longer than this.
21:27 Kronborg Slot
28:33 Gråsten Slot
28:55 Gråsten Torvet 7. None of those buildings stand there today.
29:37 The little mermaid. Building in background was the Schalburgtage. It was blown up by germans in 1944 in retaliation against a resistance movement.
30:37 Eremitageslottet
31:53 Skodsborg Badehotel.
38:51 Sankt Albani Church in Odense. Church still stands. Building next to is gone.
39:22 Sønderborg
39:29 Sønderborg Slot. This is where Christian the 2nd was imprisoned.
21:27 Er ikke Egeskov slot, Egeskov ligger midt på Fyn uden vand. Det ligner mere Kronborg Slot.
@@neobnyf Du har ret. Jeg retter.
31:53 er/var Skodsborg Badehotel
Amazing seeing how little Copenhagen Central station seems to have changed lol
Like a time machine!! Fantastic!
Agreed
Nos 26 minutos aquela ponte giratória incrível. Não sabia que já existia tecnologia tão avançada em 1920.
I watched your video "Amazing Restored Variety Show from the early 1940s" and I got nostalgic to an era I wasn't even born yet. Great to see old videos colorized and enhanced, it really brings the viewer back in time. I hope, if it's okay, could you colorize and enhance old videos of Manila from year 1930s?
Amazing video, I recognized the Central train station, Looked a lot more clean back then. Thank you for sharing this moment of nostalgia, I love videos that make me SMILE. 🙂🙂🙂
Fun fact, the first rollercoaster you see in the video, is still in use today.
Buildings looks exactly the same.
Greeting from a Dane ❤🙂
I was blown away by that Mercedes Coffee bus 😅😮
We need that back in town.
sjælden smuk og imponerende film, 40 fantastiske min. fra et måske bedre, men helt sikkert andet Danmark!
mange tak for det-
Nok ikke bedre. Det var præcis på den tid de spæde skridt til velfærdsstaten blev lagt. Vi fik den første socialreform med Kanslergadeforliget i 1933. Første ferielov blev vedtaget i 1938.
@@zoolook666Jeg tror alle kan se på filmen at København var bedre dengang. Vores larmende hovedstad fremstår idyllisk og harmonisk, som i et eventyr.
@@Murlur Levestandarden var skidt, der lugtede fælt og byen var fyldt med kreaturer - som i titusinder. Men pænt ser det ud på film.
@@Murlur Tror ikke at lugten var så idylisk - lort fra både dyr og mennesker over alt. Men ja, det ser sgu hyggeligt ud på video!😀
4:52 The city square. In the background you can see H.C.Andersens boulevard with wide paths for walking, trees and lawns in an almost park-like setup. This has been replaced with three lanes for cars in each direction and it now one of the busiest and most polluted street in Copenhagen. The building in the top right corner, is the old Industriens Hus, which has since been replaced and later updated to feature a modern glass and steel facade. In some ways I feel we have regressed...
It was called Vestre Boulevard then and changed its name in, I think, 1954.
Ein echtes Erlebnis! Klasse!
Danke :)
Møgeltønder og Schackenborg slot og slotsgade har man virkelig passet godt på, det ligner jo sig selv. Er opvokset i Tønder, og har mange gange i min barndom været i Møgeltønder. Meget spændende at få et kig tilbage i fortiden. Videoer som denne er virkeligt uvurderlige. Tak for upload!
Super interesting. And I have always been told that everyone in the old times was dying on the streets, sick and poor and blah, blah, blah. Certainly doesnt look like this in this extensive video. And I most certainly prefer the old times, very relaxed, lots of beautiful nature, beautiful clothing, etc. Today's stress is unbearable.
Remember, you only see the nice part. Lot's of poverty in the late 1920's and with the Wall Street crash in 1929. My Grandfather went bankrupt after this. That affected most of Europe.
Also remember that the first Social Act was made 1933 and the first vacation law came in 1938. Life was tuff.
How were people able to build such masterpiece architecture buildings back in the 1800s and 1900s? It staggers the mind
