Lost Architecture of the German Empire (Before the World Wars) “Old World” Oldest Photographs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 кві 2022
- Howdy ya’ll. Today we will be looking at what is considered by many to be the epitome of Old World architecture, that is, Old World Germany, also known as, The German Empire.
Upon unifying in 1871, the German Empire included such kingdoms as Prussia, Saxony, and Bavaria. With them came an assortment of magnificent architecture which we will focus on today by looking at 121 of the oldest known photographs taken in The German Empire. These images, all photographs (not artistic depictions, maps, or drawings) will be from before the World Wars which greatly reshaped Germany.
Many of the structures in these buildings were damaged or destroyed, so these images could be our best insight into this particular section of “Old World”.
I will also briefly (for about six minutes) discuss the overarching narrative history of Germany, from Julius Caesar to World War II. Mainly, this video is about the wide range of photographs.
I’d like to hear which one stands out to you the most in the comments (be sure to leave a time stamp), and we can look further into the specific history of any of the buildings or statues depicted. This was one of my favorite videos to make, with over a year of image collecting, and then editing the greater list into 121 images I felt best represented “Old World Germany”. Enjoy!

Anybody else feel great sense of Sorrow while watching this as is something great has been stolen from us
Absolutely!! 🌸🌺🌷
Im just jappy more are seeing it
Who stole it ? Asking for a friend.😉
@@martinbeckmann9376 Try Winston Churchill, J. Edgar Hoover, Harry Truman, Franklin Roosevelt for a starters and who ever decided to keep bombing germany after the war was over and those who tried to genocide germans after the war.
@@martinbeckmann9376 The British were largely responsible for WW1 through Rhodes and the Milner Roundtable. After the destruction of Germany, the population was driven into starvation and debt servitude because of the unjust Versaille Treaty. Hitler recognized this and defaulted on the agreement, rebuilding Germany on FDR's model of The New Deal. He wanted a deal with Churchill but the British refused, and using their proxies the United States and Russia, once again destroyed Germany. So you might say that the British were the ones. Ironic isn't it, that the royal family in England is Germanic?
Almost too heartbreaking to watch. The loss of beauty is a great tragedy.
True, but many of these buildings still exist... not all are lost.
@@solinvictus39 culture and pride is. But it shall rise again.
🙏💜
The tragedy is that we let vote for them to dismantle our past but the time will come where the olags of the world will claim what was ,?
It's only heartbreaking if you refuse to rebuild and come back with the same fire that the souls who built the building were trying to portray
As a German with Prussian roots, I deeply appreciate your work and effort. God bless you my man.
i'm glad not all Germans have been bullied into shame. Germany has contributed so much to the world. Greetings from Flanders

Thank you for sharing. I recognized Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt/Main, Dresden and Danzig. Being german, let me tell you that there were no destructions of german cities in WW I. Most of the cities kept their medieval structures and their buildings of the "Wilhemine era" (reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II. - 1888-1914) until 1941. The "area bombing" in WW II destroyed almost all german cities. The last bombing raid took place on 26. April 1945, 12 days before the liberation on 8. May 1945, the day that just celebrated its 77th anniversary..
Germany was a desolate landscape of ruins, but there were still old buildings and structures! Unfortunately, as part of the reconstruction, many old buildings were demolished by the 1960s, especially in West-Germany. They had to make way for car-friendly streets and "modern" architecture.
Please include time stamps for the locations you recognize. Such a pity that this information was not provided by the uploader.
Yeah, the entente barely pushed into Germany in ww1. They weren't bombed either because technology hadn't reached that far yet. The bombing of German cities in ww2 was what really destroyed the country.
Sadly, Germany deserved all of the destruction, considering genocides and destruction brought by them on their neighbors.
Wow. April 26 is my birthday. And I'm 22% German.
@@Rick88888888 that would have taken hundreds of hours of additional work.
The enormity, along with the detail of these structures is quite unsurpassed.
yes, these structures are true feats of man. it is amazing what people were able to do without the help from computer aided design software and enormous construction equipment.

@@adrianc6534 What have those computer aided designs produced? Computers have no soul, is it a wonder our society and architecture has no soul now too?
I agree, those beautiful buildings were breathtaking‼️
I agree. (I don’t think you mean ‘enormity’ which carries an exclusively negative and morally wrong connotation, such as ‘the enormity of the crimes of the Nazis’.)
I live in Cincinnati, basically early German immigrants moved to this part of the U.S. because it reminded them of Germany. There are local cities named "Over the Rhine", New Berlin, and others. Consequently there is a large number of German architecture from buildings to homes, the best being built before The Great Depression. There is something really unique, VERY solid, and a style with German architecture that isn't found anywhere else. The Germans seem to engineer and "over-build" things from buildings to cars. If one piece of wood is good, then certainly 2 pieces is even better. But the style is what really gets me, don't know what you call it, but it's a great and interesting design to German buildings.
It's called gothic, it originated in France under the templar in the second half of the middle ages
So that's why you are so racist over there in Cincinnati, isn't it?
I too live in cincy and you know there are a lot of mudflood buildings here and evidence of tartania architecture
@@gregorymerritt2528 what?!?! Tartar?
It's called beauty. The exact opposite of post war brutalist architecture.
I‘m from the most northern part of Germany (Schleswig-Holstein). I recently saw a documentary of the sailor uprising 1918 in our states capital Kiel. The city was unrecognizable! It was a thriving port city with beautiful Baltic Sea architecture, similar how Hamburg used to look like. Except for the city hall, there is not a single old building left. Everything got destroyed during WW2 due to the fact that the city was of major importance for Germanys marine. Luckily we still have cities here like Lübeck and Flensburg that even tho they got bombed they still managed to have an intact historic center.
moin 😉
So incredibly sad to lose this beauty, this world
Moin moin :)
Born and raised in Lübeck and studied in Hamburg and Kiel for three years each. Now my oldest son is in his last semesters in Kiel. Ooooh, time is running, I can tell you. Anyway, You are totally right, of course. For thirty years I live in Lueneburg, a smaller but nearly intact medieval city.
Always looks to me the English bombers targeted the old, beautiful architecture more than anything else, to destroy culture, erase identity..

@@Tamwyn107 Wahnsinn, genau das wollte ich gerade über deinen Kommentar schreiben.
I feel like the buildings back then were build not to maximize profits but to be used and looked at. Also the Architecture as a whole feels way more distinctive than the modern Architecture which is almost the same around the world.
Our modern materials and techniques have changes quite a bit and even if lazy and ugly buildings already existed back then it was not as easy as today to build them.
Also its really weird how we once had a city without cars, public transportation, good looking Architecture and good quality of free spaces and we decided to not rebuild to former Qualities with a new touch to them but we decided to abandon the positive legacy we had in favor of technology that fundamentally destroyed the fabric of our living spaces.
Wait 15 to 25 years and you will have 2 to 5 Cars per street in größter Centers.
it was the true socialist power as opposed to capitalism today
JFC... you ooze sanctimony...
Everything is about science and space now. Architecture crams as much space as possible into its modern designs. This usually leads to very mundane and similar building as the underlying objective is to maximize space
By the way, the so-called German Empire only existed for 47 years from 1871 to 1918. Ridiculously short but there was enough time to cause a great deal of mischief! Because unfortunately, this nation of this absurd empire was not only ridiculous but also megalomaniac and caused the First World War together with Austria in 1914. So these are certainly not positive photos of a country to be admired. Only the Germans and Austrians caused the First World War! The Germans and Austrians were responsible for the outbreak of this war. Because only only Germans and Austrians had the option, war or peace! Only the Germans and the Austrians could prevent the war. They wanted war because the Austrians and the Germans were of the opinion that they dominate too small areas compared to British, Russians and even French. More precisely! The envy on this huge British empire was actually the reason for the 1st World War. Because that was the feeling that prevailed in Germany in relation to the British. Envy! They felt inferior to the British. That feeling of inferiority particularly clarifies this quote from the German State Secretary of the Foreign Office, and later Chancellor. "We also demand our place in the sun." That's what he means with regard to German demands for more colonies. Anyone who argues in this way believes that he is in the shadows. This feeling of inferiority was then precisely the reason why the Germans attacked France, Belgium and Russia and thus triggered the First World War. After a victory, the Germans wanted to take large areas from the French, Belgians and Russians to also be a colonial power roughly comparable to the British. So the terms of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk show why the Germans waged the war. Russia was forced to agree to the treaty, as the Germans later did Treaty of Versailles. Russia lost 26% of the then European territory, 27% of the arable land, 26% of the rail network, 33% of the textile and 73% of the iron industry and 73% of the coal mines. All the areas to be ceded included around 60 million people, more than 1/3 of the total population of the former Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks committed to pay six billion gold marks of reparation. This shows that the Germans made war for to get colonies from the French and Belgians! On July 29th, German Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg announced to the British Ambassador Edward Goschen that Germany would attack France in breach of Belgian neutrality and that Germany would restore the territorial integrity of France and Belgium - but not that of their colonies - after the war in order to achieve British neutrality. So they wanted the colonies of the defeated French and Belgians.
Incidentally, the Austrians have the same reason for waging this war, namely to expand their domain. They wanted to conquer most of the Balkans. After gaining control of Croatia and Slovenia, the Austrians also wanted to conquer the rest of the Balkans. The first step was to conquer Bosnia and Herzegovina! This triggered World War I with the support of Germany. In 1878 Austria raided Bosnia-Herzegovina! It was not a kind of peaceful annexation as is always claimed! After this raid, there was massive resistance against the Austrians, which the Austrians put down with blood. That wasn't enough for the Austrians, they wanted to conquer the entire Balkans.
So they wanted to expand their sphere of influence on cost of others states. The problem, however, was that the states attacked by the Austrians and Germans were allied with each other. This led to a chain reaction that ended with a big war. So World War 1 started because the Germans and Austrians wanted to conquer territories! So in summary, one can state the imperialism of the Austrians and Germans led to World War I. There is no doubt that France, Great Britain and Russia were imperialist, only that their imperialism did not cause World War I in 1914. That is a widespread lie that the Balkans was Europe's powder keg! The purpose of this lie is to blame the Serbs for the First World War. The fact is, however, that the Austrians and the Germans were Europe powder keg in 1914, because the Germans and the Austrians were responsible for the First World War. Austria and Germany were the aggressors in 1914! They were the attackers, not defenders.
Incidentally, Serbs had been living in Bosnia Herzegovina for centuries and no Austrians lived there. So these Serbs had the right to resist the foreign rule of Austria. Like they also had the right to defend themselves against the Ottoman rule before. The Serbian resistance to the Austrian foreign rule was completely legitimate! The assassination attempt on the future monarchical dictator Franz Ferdinand who would oppress the Serbs like his predecessors did was completely legitimate in 1914! Because every oppressor has to be afraid that the oppressed will fight back and kill him. Because like the other nations were Serbs oppressed in the prison of nations named Austria! The Serbs had every right to defend themselves against Austrian foreign rule! Incidentally, the circumstances of the attack are very dubious. The heir to the throne was presented to potential assassins on a silver platter. The assassination of 1914 was carried out by Serbian freedom fighters supported by non-Serbs.
By the way, the Austrians attacked Serbia in 1914 without a war reason! The involvement of the Serbian government in the assassination on the throne successor Franz Ferdinand was not proven in 1914. But an unfulfilled ultimatum should give the reason for war to the Austrians. So the Austrians have given Serbia an unacceptable ultimatum because they assumed that Serbia would not fulfill it. Incidentally, the international press and most states condemned the ultimatum as unacceptable and as proof that Austria was only seeking an excuse for war! The important British diplomat Sir Edward Gray called this Austrian ultimatum to Serbia "impossible demands"! The Austrians were therefore surprised when Serbia agreed to most points of the actually unfulfillable ultimatum. German monarch Wilhelm II has stated that there is actually no reason for war in 1914 because the Serbs have actually fulfilled the Austrian ultimatum. So the Austrians found another pretext for the war with alleged Austrian and Serbian skirmish near Temes Kubin on the Danube. A Serbian transported tramp steamer wich transported reservists on the Danube crossed inadvertently onto the Austrian side of the river at Temes-Kubin and Austrian soldiers fired into the air to warn them off. The Serbian ship then turned and left Austrian waters. The Austrians then falsely claimed that the Serbs had shot at the Austrians and mendacious described this completely innocent incident as a considerable skirmish. The Austrian declaration of war on Sebien also mentioned this alleged Serbian attack by the "skirmish of Temes-Kubin" as a reason for the war. This is how one behaves if one wants to provoke a war. Austrians declared with an invented reason the war and the Germans backed the Austrians. Without this German backing, the Austrians would not have dared to attack Serbia in 1914. This behavior of the Germany by backing Austria at attacking Serbia is called "blank cheque"! A blank cheque for war for both Austria and Germany wanted war!
Also the Germans had to find then something fictitious, to justify the war! In order to attack France, Germans has sought pretexts and found it. Such pretext was then the alleged so-called "aircraft of Nuremberg" which was actually a newspaper hoax only one day prior to Germany's declaration of war on France in August 2, 1914, That was a hoax in which one or several French combat aircrafts allegedly dropped bombs near German city of Nuremberg. The story seems to have suited the German General Staff's agenda. On August 2 the Bavarian military plenipotentiary in Berlin reported to Munich: "Welcoming news of a bombing at Nuremberg by French aircraft has arrived from our III. Army Command." Without even waiting for a diplomatic act the Ministry of War and the General Staff have declared war on France. The German army even simply raided Belgium in 1914 without a reason for war and without a declaration of war! By the way, the Germans also violated Luxembourg's neutrality when they raided the country. In summary explained! This is how one behaves when one wants war!
Incidentally, the Germans could have prevented the war anyway by refusing the Austrians German backing for the war against Serbia. The Austrians would not have dared to attack Serbia which was allied with Russia without German backing. But the Germans did exactly the opposite of what than German blank check to Austria is known. In July, 1914, Germany gave Austria a "blank cheque" for attacking Serbia. It meant that Germany would support whatever decision Austria made. Austria decided on war with Serbia which led to the outbreak of World War I. So Germany and Austria are equally responsible for this war.
As a German this is painful to watch. All of our beautiful culture, our architecture, gone....
And not just in Germany but all over the world. This new world sucks so hard I want to go back

Shall we talk about WHO and WHY started the massacres of the 20th centuries that destroyed this architectural beauty? Shall we?
@@geoffreycharles6330 If you want to hint that it's the fault of Germany then gtfo of here! Ww1 wasn't Germany fault and ww2 only happened because the allies thought it would be a neat idea to push people, with whom you have gone to war recently, to the edge with the treaty of Versailles. Also: Stalin killed Millions, the Americans threw the first nuclear bombs on civilian centre's, the French and the British fucked their colonies and Japan's was busy conquering a big chunk of southeast Asia. There is no one solely responsible for the world wars. There are people like Hitler and Stalin which basically started the whole shit but it was the appeasement of the allies who allowed them to go that far.
Thank you for this.
My dad was Silesian German, and told me about his family's flight westward so as not to be killed by the Soviet "Allies".

Thankyou so much, I really wished there had been some names and locations to help make some sense of it all.
While you list a number of structures which have been rebuilt, what is missing is the large sections of beautiful houses no longer standing, and replaced with bland, modern structures. German cities were quite picturesque and beautiful before they were shelled and bombed during the Second World War. Cities, such as Dresden, Nuremberg, Frankfurt, had impressive, beautiful, historical cores, with a wealth of artistic details difficult to replicate. A tragic loss for the world.
Wow, what a beautiful and magic land they had before the Banksters Wars destroyed it.
Anton, you got that right !!! It was the idea of the Banksters of NY and London City, they invested and had for 70 years now a famous cash cow in Berlin.
BUT, watch some you tubes from Prof. William Toel, a former Harvard Professor, you'll learn it'll all going to change pretty soon.
Amazing how Bob Marley knew and sang in his song: "Wake up, wake up from mental slavery ". The NWO wanted to make every person in this World to be their slave, with this entire consumerism.

All these beautiful buildings were built when governments were mostly funded with excise taxes, German property taxes were virtually non existant prior to WW1.

I watched this photo show with great interest. Old German architecture is stunning and sometimes intimidating. Regret squeezes your throat and tears shine down your eyes as you realize that many of these wonderful buildings exist no more. Fortunately, some of them have survived to this day. It is a pity that today it is not built like this anymore.
@slantony Even if similar architecture would be built this would be constructed according to the metrical unit which is an abstract measure, it not being related to anything, hence no harmonious dimensions could be attained. The metre is the very symbol of decadence in modern culture.

I do live in Neuss, north rhine westfalia, one of the oldest cities of Germany. It made me quite sad to see how beautiful Germany once was, and that I will never be able to witness that with my own eyes. Thank you for the compilation of so many wonderful images.
Why can’t we ever see buildings in mid-construction, even in the background of any of these old photos? The buildings, streets and structures are always completed and so beautifully finished, as if a blank cheque was written and no expense spared. In a time we were told was poor, hungry, oppressed and ill-health. The same goes for old footage and photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s all over the world. The first free people arrived in Australia in 1793. 5 single men and 2 families, yet by mid to late 1800 we had enormous cities, built out as far as the eye can see, shoulder to shoulder buildings, trams, interstate rail, wharves, tunnels, bridges, sophisticated sewer systems, massive ships, with the tiniest of population. As far up as Rockhampton. Beautiful ornate brick and sandstone buildings lined the streets shoulder to shoulder, with horses and carts in the street, while Brisbane’s population in 1850 is recorded as

yes it is a pity to loose such architecture because of their wars...
It really saddens me as a German to see how beautiful Germany ones was and what became of it today. German cities today are not better then Soviet architects in the east and “mindern architecture” really drives this trend on.
your culture has been destroyed on purpose by the frankfurter schule. Your great leader was absolutely right about them

Yes, it is a skill that can be learned and developed. We cannot build like that now because we have somehow lost the desire to invest in beautiful buildings that can last a long time.
Great stuff, love your work Jared. I'm super fascinated with Germanic culture. I was born in San Antone Texas, there is a huge German influence in that area of South Texas-80 miles below Austin. A huge rush of settlers began migration in 1830s, turns out Texas Cowboys have a German twang.

As a German I thank you from all my heart for this video and the unusual and very rare insight on my country’s past. I never knew how breathtakingly beautiful the world my ancestors lived in was. Absolutely jaw-dropping.
Let me tell you such a perspective feels very odd for us incredibly mindfucked Germans who are programmed from the cradle to the grave to wallow in shame and guilt, even when aware of the falsity of this narrative that replaced our glorious past.
The destruction that took place in Germany both in the outside world and the spirit of the people is unfathomable and so sad, and what stays with me here is a feeling of great and irretrievable loss. This country is long gone, lost and its demise unstoppable. They have succeeded, just like with sooo many other native peoples across this realm.
You took the words right out of my mouth😎Bin auch Deutscher, habe viele Jahre im Ausland gelebt, jetzt wieder in der Heimat, und bin nur noch fassungslos und tieftraurig über den Zustand dieses Landes. Das Schlimmste ist, wie sehr die gesamte sog. intellektuelle Oberschicht nach jahrzehntelanger Gehirnwäsche dem eigenen Untergang applaudiert und meint, es müsse so sein.
I also feel very sad for such a big crime against the German people, even though I'm not German, but my roots are from the German tribes, for my ancestors were the Visigoths that came to Spain, and I feel very much connected to Germany.
they used hitler and the war to destroy this and to keep germany away from russia.....once we unite - we will restore the wold - but i guess not in the universe variation.
Incredible insights, Daniela S. It is indeed a deeply sad loss, for all of humanity. And just as sad is the lies to cover this mayhem.
My ancestors left east prussia back then.
Regardless of their lies the german culture always stands up, it wasn’t vanished; it has inevitably mutated.
They shall fall as the truth is inevitable as well. And yet none of that will be retrieved.
It pains me to see that it has become ilegal to stand against them; not only in Europe.
And now this ridiculous narrative that our universities feed everyone about how everyone who isn’t white must be exempt of evil… utter bs. More lies coming ahead. I wish this stops.
Watch a documentary called Europa the last battle
19th century was some really impressive era of architecture! This was peak of aesthetics
I agree, and I'd add that everything built post-1945 is soulless and ugly.
It is modern eclectic architecture. NOT old world. The old world is Greece and Rome and the Renaissance.
@@solinvictus39brutalism was invented by the Marxists (the winners of ww2) and the current leaders of the world (Marxists)
also fashion. I watched a recoloured documentary about the times of around 1900 until 1945. And boy, before ww1 things looked vibrant and overflowing with vigour. when they had parades, the buildings, the clothing of the people in all different colours and with so many details. in that time they built stuff almost for eternity and made everything look cool (I know the doc just shows the jet set rich in the cities but nonetheless). then after ww1, before ww2 the nazis made things look more simple, more iconic, more uniform. so the style decreased but the guns got better :/
agree 100%. Especially the last 30 or so years- for Germans- the Grunderzeit!
each country had its own wonderful architectural expression going on
A shame that so much grandiosity was deliberatly destroyed in the wars! I do wonder though how old these superhuge builings really were and the tiny people don't seam to fit. Where did the original builders go? The ones that fit the size of those gigantic buidings..

Fantastic work Jarid. My family left Prussia in 1851, but I view these old photos as part of my past, even though I've not been able to travel there yet. Anxious to see what else you come up with!
The architecture here suggests great weight, which conveys stability and permanence with a marked preference for the Roman arch over the gothic. Even when gothic forms are used, one does not see the airy flying buttresses of the English. Instead the buttressing seems incorporated into the structure, often leading to towers. The distinctions are indeed impressive, as is the baroque decorations and use of steel-work with the stone.
Flying buttresses, were not distinctively English, but French. Even during the Middle Ages, the use of buttresses in English Gothic Cathedrals, was rather low key, compared to the soaring examples in France due to the fact that English Gothic Cathedrals were not known for their height, but rather for their lengths. Having lived in Germany and being well acquainted with the appearance of numerous German towns and cities, there us no indication that the Roman arch was more preferred over the Gothic. In fact much evidence suggests otherwise. The historic cores of German cities, still reflected their Medieval origins, and much of the domestic, vernacular architecture, echoed this.
@@LUIS-ox1bv Not implying that buttresses were exclusively English. I am familiar with gothic architecture in France as well, but given that the video was in English rather than French....
You outdid yourself on this video Jarid Booster. What a glorious collection of photographs. Truly mind blowing architecture construction and culture. Check out those pyramidal steel spires atop stone spiral stairs, & crowned with aetherically atuned antennae, aka antiquitech @12:32 !! This definitely got me thinking more about the Holy Roman Empire. Well done!
Each building and structure is a masterpiece, carefully thought out and discussed, they are symbols of power and a statement of pride, if humans had the ability to live in peace most of these buildings would still be telling their visual stories. Amazing collection of historical architecture. Thank you for sharing your passion and I look forward to seeing many more such gems. 🙏
I believe part of starting those wars was to destroy history, all those fantastic buildings
@@dags6887 It's an elaborative worldwide effort!
@@dags6887 OMW, I was just thinking that!
@TJ21 check out Auto didactics channel he just posted a video a few other channels have too such as mind unveiled and Jon Levi those buildings check out the cymatics in them on autodidactics channel. Blew me away even the silence brings out the cymatics sound to a visual sound check out his channel on what he just posted or those other channels. If you don't already follow them.
The so-called German Empire only existed for 47 years from 1871 to 1918. Ridiculously short but there was enough time to cause a great deal of mischief! Because unfortunately, this nation of this absurd empire was not only ridiculous but also megalomaniac and caused the First World War together with Austria in 1914. So these are certainly not positive photos of a country to be admired.
I have never seen so much architectural beauty. Heartbreaking, especially when compared with today.
All these buildings are gorgeous but that building with the exposed spiral staircase is magnificent
Amazingly beautiful. I am so sad that a lot of it is destroyed or vanished.

Beautiful. I hope these images can keep the great work and art of german people for future generations. If we could have the idea of the landscape, the architecture and all forms of art of the world of our ancestors we could make our countries great again, avoiding mistakes and errors that destroy us. I never went to Germany ( I visited Strasbourg and Nancy and loved these cities) but I had a wonderful german teacher. Her name was Marion and she married a portuguese after WWII. She used to tell us a lot of things about Germany. Like all germans who lived during the war, she suffered to see her country destroyed and split by a stupid frontier. Anyway, she was the sweetest person - she used to join all her students in a lunch at the end of the year, before summer holidays. At her house in Estoril, she showed us her garden. Trees and flowers all around us. All these wonderful cities do need our attention of that lost world we cannot let go. The idea of " Gone with the wind" or , even worse, wiht the war, cannot happen. It is too sad. Thank you for this great film.
Living in East Germany now Poland I am proud to see more of the old Heimat. It's for me always a cultural shock to drive today through this typical german architectural surroundings and see a different people living there now. We made a' Kartoffelflockenfabrik' into a pension hosting people from around the world and explaining the german heritage. Some don't know history well.It's better to look on local history than on nationalised history from countries with nowadays borders.
Sooo typical of Germans ,you set foot somewhere and you claim that area to be yours forever, don't forget that east Germany was predominantly Slavic in the past, even the name of your capital comes from the Slavic language . I'm not saying you haven't had great impact on European civilization and culture because you (Grrmans)absolutely have,there is no question about it, one can easily say you shaped Europe and left imprint on global civilization as well but the truth is some of those places like Gdansk/Danzig originally were Polish settlements not German and after some time as a result of political turmoil, wars,conquering etc fell into German hands and then back to Poland again .I myself truly admire your architecture and many other things and by no means put my beloved homeland Poland above yours or even on par but some statements need to be corrected. Greetings
@@hubertzubrzycki4234 before the Slaves came here the Vandals have been living here.The Hasdinger and Silinger. Before them the Celts lived here.Don't mingle your polish nationalistic history view with reality. 1335 the Polish King made a treaty to give up any claim on Silesia forever.The local Piasts became part of the Kingdom of Bohemia. The King of Bohemia was the German Kaiser and so Silesia became part of The Holy Roman Empire. Until the conquest of Silesia by the Red Army in 1945 it did not belong to anything called Poland.There were never any conflict between the Germans and the Slaves here before the nationalistic times.The inhabitants belonged to a nobleman or a monestery who had a title over their property. The castles here and we have a lot came from a times of conflict under Slaves- the Polish and the Bohemians(now called Tchechs). So if you count 1335 treaty of Trentschin to the rediscovery of the Americas 1498 then you go even further back.So to claim a piece of land after this long time was ridicules and cick the inhabitants out was a crime.Your point of view is exactly the one of the Russians in Ukraine.
@hubertzubrzycki4234 Slavs arent even native to central europe. Stop playing the victim, your not one

As a Ukrainian , i want to say :

- whole Silesia with Breslau city - is more Czech than german but NOT Poland !!!
- Danzig east Prussia and east Pomerania with Torun and Malbork are GERMAN ONLY
- Bialystok - it is Lithanian / Belorussian city
- Everything between Ukraine and Vistula River - it is our lands stolen from us

Amazing, hard to deny we missed something awesome seeing these photos.
Lived in Germany 2yrs. Whole family from Bavaria. Wurzburg Castle is strange, adjacent to another ancient architecture on opposite hill. Anyway, love the videos❣ always learning😊😊😊
20:45 ... the opulence of the detailed intricacy of the ornamentation on this building is absolutely mind blowing!!!
Can you even IMAGINE the COST of building these structures today?
Can ANYONE locate a contractor that has the capabilities to recreate these buildings? Can ANY contractor even quote, or come up with an estimate of what this would cost today?
Do ANY stone masons here think they can recreate these statues? I've never even met a stone Mason . Love your videos man. Great shit.
Sadly since 1950 architects are really into bland boxes. And factories since then just pump out glass, concrete and steel hence why they are way cheaper than stone which was in decline as a result. And with that masonry too. Even now architects still push modern architecture as only option. And while cheap to build it is also not really durable. So in the end you end up demolishing and building every 30 years or major reno as modern building really don't age well. So not sure is it actually cheaper in the long run. I would rather build something in locally available materials, in accorance to culture and climate and that it will last at least 100 years
@@velvet3784 funny thing is, preserved, these buildings could stand for thousends of years. There are still some few old buildings in germany wich are partly 400 to 700 years or even older and still stand today.

Thank you for posting.
Great pics!
I agree that (sadly) no one knows how to build such elaborate structures these days…
Yes we do, and the skills are put to use maintaining historic ancient buildings. After WWII some European cities' bombed-out Old Town districts were rebuilt as they previously were. One reason we don't construct new buildings in these styles today is that it's very labour-intensive and often requires level of master craftsmanship that take years - sometimes decades - to achieve, both of which add significantly to the construction costs. Another reason is safety - many of these buildings were extremely combustible, being mostly constructed of wood and featuring large, open roof spaces which enabled fire to take hold and spread rapidly. Even with today's strict health and safety rules, renovation of such buildings carries the risk of fire: just look at Notre Dame Cathedral and Glasgow School Of Art as two recent victims of fires started by maintenance work.
@@thisisnev
Good points, thanks!
@@thisisnev Also many of the things that were common back then are not allowed to build anymore because of spacing between houses, the possibility for firetrucks and wastetrucks to reach and for parking requirement, even though parking requirement is being brought down in Germany.
Agreed. Building stuff they way we used to is sadly a lost art.
CG artists know how to build these things ;)!
I find it interesting when some of the most beautiful things I've seen mankind create are only in photographs
Get a passport and travel the world outside the United States, and you might find that many of the beautiful historic things you only see in photographs actually exist.

Absolutely beautiful collection. Thank you for sharing. Your hard work is appreciated by so many. God bless.
The Germans were very very Advanced Builders . Probably the best builders in the world. They were also very creative So they had to be stopped .. Its a shame because there was no need to destroy everything ...
This may sound weird but many of the old photos reminded me of Manchester England. Another thing, I see all the people in the photos and think each person was somebody that was born--lived--and died, the stories they could tell. I wonder how many of those buildings are still standing. Thanks to Jarid Boosters for posting

The saddest thing I saw was a picture of a square in Germany 1860s ish full of people. Doing what people do..then I don’t think the UA-camr noticed they showed an aftermath of Germany bombing during ww2. They hadn’t noticed it was the same place that was once full of people and beautiful buildings all around now gone…only thing that survived was the statue. It seemed ironic because he said earlier in the video “why is there a fence around it..seems important.” Universe thought so too 🥺 I’m still searching for a modern day picture to see if it still stands I’ll update this comment if I do.
What did ya find?

So wunderschön ❤️I'm from Germany Cologne. 🌺Thank you very much. 🕊️
Timecode 8:45 --> What you can see is the harbor of the city called "Lindau", what is in Bavaria at the "Bodensee" & the most of these buildings stands today. It´s a really nice city or also an half island. Sadly they´ve destroyed some buildings in the last years, but not in that area what you could see on that images.
Superb craftsmanship!
Stunning. It makes me angry that such beauty is possible but we no longer aspire to create it. Maybe beauty terrifies us.
I haven’t watched your show yet. My husbands family came from Germany mid 1800’s. One side from Austria. The Austrian grandma was so upset to land in America in Oshkosh Wisc. She stayed in bed. They had planks over the mud. The beauty of the old world is stunning. No one really knows why they left.
They might have left because there was so much poverty and unemployment.
A lot of people wanted to flee the tyranny and to try to make their own fortune. Also many things may have looked good but there were also many ugly buildings with a terrible standard of living for example in rural areas.
@@amaryllislady8795 unimployme
@@amaryllislady8795 unemployment seems to be ridiculous, mind the time.
Industrialisation in Germany had just begun! But there was starvation because of the year(s) without summer. ( I don’t believe in that story)
I assume that ( like in Scotland) the many homesteaders in Germany ( especially in the South) had been taken away their land and been forced to work in the new factories and live in deplorable and wretched huts nearby. Because all adults had to work for many hours , no one looked for the children, they couldn’t have a garden like their mothers and grandmothers did , so nutrition and hygiene must have been disastrous. Illness es and accidents made the rest. A vast amount of Germans immigrated to Russia ( Donauschwaben) and to the US
"No one really knows why they left." Most of them left to america - the new world - at that time, because they wanted to achieve a better life, have their own land. The society in Germany at time was in very simple words: There were land owners and those who worked for them. The dream was, to go to Amerika, get land, be a land owner yourself and become rich.
I just love seeing old photographs of everything. This German version is just wonderful and will never be seen again the likes of these buildings. Shame.
I spent 9 years in Germany 🇩🇪 and I always will feel myself connected with that amazing country ❣
Thank you for your video 👍
These old photos move me. I somehow remember and long for those times.
Makes me sad to see what happened to this place, it was bombed to the ground, Such beautiful bldgs that we may never get to see ever again
I would like to see a video discussing construction techniques for buildings like these. Even if it’s hypothetical - there has to be someone out there who could explain the type of materials used, how things were lifted, etc. Especially something like the building at 12:33 to 12:46
12:33 is so massive. Like why
Do it yourself Jay
Wise up .. that's the channels name on UA-cam he goes into that
the channel ‘Chronicle - Medieval History Documentaries’ has something like that.
Although I would not take their explanations as gospel.
ua-cam.com/video/WrU_Y7Cp_Xs/v-deo.html
These techniques are very rare to find. They were mostly passed on orally. I visited a factory in France from 1902. When they renovated a few years ago they had to let somebody fly over from god knows where to help them with the old brickwork. Because nobody knew how it was done back in the days.
Beautiful pictures.I,m from Germany but never saw this before.Since a couple of days I,m in the Old world topic and it's realy interesting and sad same time.
In WW I Germany was not destroyed - only in the late phase of WW II....
It was the reverse in France. The beautiful old towns and ancient cathedrals were utterly destroyed by the relentless German bombing in World War I, but since France was occupied at the beginning of World War II, there was little destruction of buildings.
There are books in most reference libraries in the west with collections of reveals and plans from old Germanic churches. All of which were obliterated during ww2. Many of these places there are no surviving photo's of. I have one of these books in storage, i'll get its name next time i go there.
Please!
I’m Speechless from being amazed and saddened by the 20th century
Hey Jarid, thanks for the shout out and for sharing these old photos and all the other topics as well. 7:26, as you know I'm big on Austria, seems they stayed out of it and Vienna was spared. Maybe a topic of further discussion, maybe one of the readers from Europe would care to elaborate @ Der Gute Hut. Now is the time to share.
If the world wars had not happened, Germany would undoubtedly have established itself as the center of western civilization, from the perspective of science, arts, literature, medicine and engineering. Pre-war Germany dominated Nobel prizes, and was prominent in almost every field of human endeavor. It is noteworthy that aside from the beautiful architecture shown in these slides, the Germans were also founders of modern architecture through the Bauhaus, a creative school established well before the rest of the world joined in.
To be historically accurate, these historical buildings are lost because of carpet bombing by British and American forces. Germans were defending western culture against the same bolshevists that attempted to take over the Weimar Republic, and we unfortunately chose to support the wrong side for a variety of reasons. Despite anti-German propaganda of WW1 and 2, one cannot dispute that the same dark forces that threatened Germany and western Europe in the 1930s still menace western European nations today. Need I mention Ukraine?
Thanks very much for your work in posting this!
Could you expand on Ukraine?
Germany under A.H. said they were defending themselves just like V.P. is now saying he is defending his fellow Russians in Ukraine.
Berlin was considered the capital of Europe.
I disagree with you about the Bahaus. They were enemies of Germany and German architecture.
@@kirbywaite1586 LOL
One thing always makes me curious. Why are the buildings all next to each other? Were there cities like ours before the reset? Or was the population that massive? Definitely not built by us.
It’s almost like the buildings used to be one previous superstructure that was divided up into smaller structures at a later date. I do agree, and we see it happening quite often throughout the old world. The level of architecture if these were constructed at different times is hard to imagine. Definitely agree with your curiosity over the subject, and I will try to dive into it in the next video
Thats something that always stands out to me.
Perhaps also more larger peoples around then, they would need more space in a home. I also think there were lots to populate the dense cities.
Indeed, it looks like it was a whole project built at once according to a common plan.
Not built by peoplenof our stature or IQ at qll

@bluevireo The old world is the ancient world of Greece and post medieval Renaissance. The architecture depicted on these photos is of the modern world, it is eclectic.

Yes, but too many were destroyed. Like the old opera house and the main station in Köln (Cologne).
@@HolgerJakobs but why they weren't rebuilt in the original style?
@@starcapture3040 No, some were, many weren't. People say Cologne's Opera House could have been rescued because it was only partly destroyed, but decisions were made to tear it down. Don't know why.
I was thinking that many of these buildings were built in such enormous blocks that there must have been huge areas inside with no light at all. I haven’t seen that as much in old world buildings elsewhere, perhaps they were looking to mitigate that issue after the war.
I am German and have seen so many beautiful pictures about my home country architecture. Really amazing and thanks for sharing!
I felt the sadness and a feeling of remembrance. Also beholding some of these buildings literally sent me on a meditative state and feeling the vibration of Ohm….
I can imagine if the visual effects they had on humanity are so positive and powerful, it’s one of the reasons they “burn” or “wars”.

I am german and never saw such a big Collection of these old City Photographs...😇 it really touches me, like ever since I lived in such an old building with 3,4 m ceiling, wonderful wooden floors and big big windows, I always loved the "gilded age style" for its pure beauty. Funny what I found out in the last months, HOW old they must be and especially here on "our german grounds" there it is much more difficult to see the "Timeline failures" like in the US.

Not sure what yrs these are but seems a bit high tech for what we've been taught about history. Thank-you for your effort & time.
Farmers did not necessarily need clocks. However clocks were a tool of commerce business and yes control. The largest clock seen by 70% of an area was the main source of true time and were timed impeccably and if the highest quality and expense…which had to be serviced daily for instance I light house keeper worked mainly at night throughout the night while the farmer worked by the sun and seasons in the city the way some of the early towns were built sun didn’t shine into some passant homes…at one point a symbol of status was how many windows were in a home and or building While commercial or industrial buildings in the 1700to early 1800 had few as they were keeping/ hiding proprietary ways secrets. Interesting enough with the control of time and occupations.
