A Day In The Life Of The Berlin Hauptbahnhof
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 гру 2024
- There are endless number of wonderful video and film portraits of this wonderful and amazing place in Berlin. The Hauptbahnhof. It has a real WOW factor going on. The minute you walk into it or get off the train and experience this marvel your breath is taken away. In fact, I think it was my favorite place in Berlin to visit.
One of the best videos I've ever seen about trains.
+Nahuel Esteban Castro Hey, Nahuel, thank you, your comment is most appreciated.
Saw the station on our first trip back in 2008. Great shops and places to eat. Can't wait for travel to come back so we can go back! We miss Berlin very much. Great video. Thanks.
Berlin is a place I have ALWAYS wanted to visit. Three times I've gone to Germany and not once have I ever been to that city. Next time I go I will make it Mandatory that I go
+Starguard ! I can same the same thing until I actually bought a train ticket and went. Many times I had been in Germany, but never Berlin. I loved Hauptbahnhof. What a wonderful place to see and hang out. Has to be one of my all time favorite train stations. I went right before Xmas. Boy, do the Berliners love Christmas. Wonderful time to be there. I would have like it to have seen it in snow.
Every year I spend three days in Berlin. I'm just walking or traveling by S-bahn or tram. Avoiding the main touristic attractions.
Bahnhofsalltag wunderschön eingefangen. Danke!
Great videos! Thanks for sharing them with us. I was there last September and found it an awesome place.
To me it seems the Germans know how to do trains stations very well. I arrived in Berlin at this station and what a station it is! modern, efficient and easy to get around. I would welcome a chance to return there.
Yes, but don't forget the Brits, they invented the train station. St. Pancras in London is something to behold.
What impressed me the most is it's open space location near impressive buildings and the river spree.
+EinkOLED My favorite part was the sound of the trains starting up. Like a siren...
Michael Jiroch Agreed. I have the berlin - leipzig route on TS2016 and the sound is exactly the same. The germans make the best trains, once upon a time we brits were the
leaders.
What caused the brits to lose the lead in train design?
Nice cinematography. Thanks for sharing!
Shannon Monroe xxoo. Thank you
I am originally from former East-Germany, Fuerstenwalde, just East of Berlin and my family escaped to West-Berlin in 1959. I must admit this main train station in Berlin is the most modern I have seen in the world. I wish we had this kind of commitment to public transportation in Toronto, Canada. We don't have it here, unfortunately. Yes, it means higher taxes and a commitment by governments to upgrade infrastructure and let professionals do the planning of public transportation projects - not politicians as they have done here in Toronto.
siggi zippan, but Canada and the US are different situations. We are dependent on air travel. It's faster and cheaper than a rail system. Europe, cities are close together and towns are plenty. In North America are cities are up to eight hours apart by train. Less in the East.
@@MichaelJirochVisualArtist 50% of Canada’s population lives in the Toronto Ottawa area.
One of my most favourite places in Berlin.Looking forward to another visit for the christmas markets and atmosphere next month.Cheers for the great Vid,brings back great memories of our previous visits.
Michael, love your video. Visited Berlin couple of years ago and took a few trips by train from this very same train station. Brings back great memories. Thanks for taking the time to post.
Danke tolle eindrücke
Thank you for this upload! I visited Germany for the first time last September and went to Berlin on the DB. The Berlin Hbf was an amazing station. Puts the US to shame! I'm glad you took your camera through the food court. I sat at the very bench at 14:54 and had currywurst and fries. Now I want to go back.
Your work was very dynamic my friend! I really enjoyed it! Daniel from Rio de Janeiro.
Thank you very much Daniel, much appreciated.
@@MichaelJirochVisualArtist any time!
Went to Berlin during last summer, the highlight was the Hauptbahnhof. It's just amazing, I don't even know why I love it so much.
Venmis ...l love it too. To me, it’s the non-stop motion. The trains, the people. In every direction you look. East to West, north to south on Trains, up and down in elevators, diagonally on escalators.
Great video! I hope to visit that station some day. I've been watching your other train/station videos and they are great too!
cant wait to see u soon Berlin.
+essam garguom...you'll be there on spring in Berlin. Its great ! Enjoy the city. I would be there on mid of July.
video bellissimi - professionali - musiche eccellenti - complimenti!!!!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Grazi.
Giampietro Matarazzo ma non riesci a capire che non sa l'italiano????
If we have Train stations like this in Lagos - Nigeria, will be a very good thing
Yes, that would be good.
Great vídeo.
Thank you, Walter, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
+Michael Jiroch sir i am going to germany next mouth can you tell me that berlin is better or frankfurt is better
Raja Arbaz both are nice. Frankfurt is a modern city. Skyscrapers, Feels like America. Berlin is great,old world, new world feel. I love Berlin more.
Michael Jiroch thanks sir and what are the hotel rates in berlin or frankfurt
Raja Arbaz all kinds of rates. Please go to Hotels.com, put in the filters how much you can afford and it will bring up a list those hotels with maps, pictures, etc. in your price range.
We Japanese love Germany and Germans.
Germany and Germans are amazing! . Japanese always buy German products. That is to help Germany. If Germany is persecuted, Japan will protect Germany.
and we Germans love Japan, its people and its culture. Japanese people are reserved and fluid, our role model. Every year, for example, the Japanese cherry blossom fireworks take place in Hamburg out of hospitality to Germany, which we greatly appreciate. I know a Japanese myself and I am proud to have a musical project with her.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Nice Trains. The British rail system could take a leaf from the German train system in particular.... the double Decker trains.
Spidy Man ...i particularly loves the French Train, first class. You get fed a full French meal...like first class on a jet. And the seats are super comfy. Like Barca lounger comfort.
Spidy Man. Did u ever drived with a ICE ( Intercity Express)
MarcusLP yes, fast.
I drove with it from Colonge Hbf to Frankfurt (Main) Airport in the new ICE 3 with 300 km/h!
(Sry my english im from Berlin )
MarcusLP Frankfurt to Paris...350 k an hour...SNFC
Why the platform line are arc? Easier straight line. Perhaps the locations stations?
Hi, wonderful video, I know this place in real and this walk helped me to remember. I used the video for taking some shot in slow shutter speed mode, with my camera while playing it at TV screen, for a small street photography project. Hope you do not mind if I use the shot, appropriately crediting the video for a post in Facebook in my profile where you can see them. If you mind for any reason about publication let me know and I will delete the post.
I don’t mind, it’s non profit.
@@MichaelJirochVisualArtist thank you
Did you know that this station has an own UA-cam channel and Social Media? :-)
very good video happy 2016
Cooles Video (Ich glaube ich bin der einzige Deutsche hier oder?)
No, you aren`t. I`m german too but... warum schreibe ich das nicht auf deutsch?XD.
I am also from Germany und ich schreibe es auch auf Englisch. 😂😅
Ich ❤️🇩🇪
Nice vid
Thank you, this one was labor of love. Enjoyed every minute of being there.
We also loved being there,didn't want to travel out of it but had to - amazing station
It's a nice place, but I find it difficult because it is so symmetric, both east-west and north-south. Only a few minutes to departure and trying to find the side where the luggage lockers are to get my bags back made me a little nervous more than once.
What did you think about the Station its good or bad
good very good
I love how absolutely no trains have graffiti on them, it's great!
Unfortunately it’s changed by now.. Many S-Bahn trains as well as regional trains get sprayed quite often :/
@@theblackiron Yeah, but Deustche Bahn cleans the trains before going into service, at least that was how it was when i last were in berlin (2019)
I would have sworn I saw Jason Bourne. Well, maybe not. I haven't been to Germany since I rotated from Bremerhaven in 1966. Left the Bremerhaven train station and traveled through then Soviet territory to Frankfurt. Back then, as in 1963, there were still a few steam engines in service.
David Barnett Bremerhaven to Frankfurt would have been Brit to US sector or do you mean Frankfurt an der Oder near Poland?
You would probably not call Munich a "then American territory". Why would you do that with Frankfurt/Oder..?
German ICE speed trains are the best, followed by the French ones.
We in America are so behind. I mean outside of NYC. Chicago. Boston. Philly. Dc. I mean what do we have ?. Our infrastructure is so behind Europe.
MrSkittlez313 ...but there is a huge difference. Europe is small, and only hours between major cities by train. America is large, train travel is the same price as air travel and takes only a few hours from A to B. Unless we get on board mag-lift-tubes trains we’ll fall really behind.
Michael Jiroch why don’t we have speed trains. Chicago and Detroit is 4 hours away. Why can’t there be a speed train. Imagine speed trains from Pittsburgh to Philly. Buffalo to Milwaukee and Indianapolis. Detroit. Cleveland. The whole Great Lakes and northeast can be connected. By trains. We don’t even have these kind of train stations. Outside of nyc. Most of America lives on west coast. Northeast and Great Lakes region. We can even connect Canadian cities. Speed train to Montreal. Toronto. Etc.
MrSkittlez313 ...because we live in the 21st Century now....a flight from Chicago to Detroit is less than hour away. Far less expensive than high speed rail. It doesn’t make any sense to have high speed rail in a country as big as the USA when we have airline that can get us the far quicker and cheaper. Europe, it makes sense. It’s small.
Stimmt es, dass der Bau der Hauptbahnhof zu jeder Zeit einsturzgefährdet und Bau Katastrophe? Und wenn nicht, warum die Mehrheit der internationalen Züge sind nicht erlaubt auf den oberen Etagen und sind zum Bahnhof Tief umgeleitet oder überhaupt von dem Hauptbahnhof zurückgezogen?
1978TVP , I put your words into the translator App, and basically what I got out of your statement that you feel the station is engineered poorly and is a safety hazard to the general public. Am I correct.
🤦♂️
Can you take a video of Pankow and Arnold Street (I think). It's where I once stayed there as a kind. Thanks.
Sure I would love to. Can you buy my ticket from Los Angeles? And I will cover the rest. Hehehe.
I live there 😂

So sad to see this megamonstrosity, without imagination. Yet another example of space that defiles intimacy. Endless stimulation and noise. With a world of choice, Berlin chose this. A commercial assault on the senses.
What would be your idea then?
This sort of architecture is my paradise--to each their own!
The biggest post-war architectural disaster of Berlin. They had the opportunity to build anything for Berlin's new main station. They designed this act of environmental vandalism instead. They should have used the old Anhalter Banhof - the beautiful facade still survives. People today want an intimate experience - one of warmth and connectedness, not cold anonymity. There is absolutely nothing intimate about this structure. In fact it is alienating and cold. A place that is vertiginous and gloomy in a climate that is often already gray. Being there is chaotic and exhausting.
