Germany The Oldest Known Photos / HD Colorized 

@@tobias41641 Heute geht mann eher weniger raus weil du von "deutschen" abgestochen wirst. Freibad ist hier schon lange ne nogo area.

Absolute imbeciles...

So heartbreaking. I wonder what became of the animals at the Dresden Zoo.

@@bigneiltooDie wurden gegessen!

Worst hit was Hamburg, which was almost Incinerated in the allied operation „Gomorrha“ in July/August 1943.

These cities have been faithfully restored wherever possible. I believe the Royal Palace (Königliches Schloss) in Berlin was just recently reconstructed.

@@dbyers3897 The Berliner Schloss (Castle of Berlin) or Berliner Stadtschloss is a reconstruction that lasted from 2013 to 2020 and was the subject of much controversy in Germany.

It's the AI and enhancement process which removed and blurred any dirt and spots, that's why it looks so clean

Capitalist infrastructure. Since it was becoming the ruling ideology during and after the world wars, it's what the world was rebuilt for after all the old infrastructure was obliterated. Centered around individualistic transport and housing. Designed to be so cripplingly efficient that it ironically is even less efficient than the old infrastructure.

Oh really , and where exactly is this? I live in the Netherlands, close to Germany

Terrible music

@@trulycrystalknight I agree....very trivial.... and yet there is so much great German music to choose from

Aber die Musik nervt leider

Ja, und dann bekamen die Deutschen Weltherrschafts-Fantasien! 😮

Nach den Kriegserklärungen der Engländer und Franzosen wurde das ganze ein Selbstläufer und man konnte nicht mehr zurück

@@zurcherzurich213 Artig gehetzt, brav. Und weil das so war, darum waren die Deutschen auch die einzige Großmacht, die keine Kriegsziele formuliert hatten bei Ausbruch der Katastrophe, gell? Forschen Sie doch einfach mal nach, wer den Krieg gegen den erfolgreicheren Konkurrenten Deutschland schon seit den 1890ern plante und wollte.

​@@zurcherzurich213Was haben Sie euch Eidgenossen denn getan ?

WW I was not that destroying for german territory as WW 2. My grandma told me: She was sitting at a window 30 km south of Dortmund in the middle of the night 1944... and Dortmund burned so furious (heavy industry), that she could read a Newspaper at here window at midnight... When the refugees came from Syria 2015, I could always explain to them: The eldest german people understand your situation far better, because they know, what war means: My wife came from Idleb/Aleppo in Syria... She fled from a Suchoi-Jet in low altitude the same way, as my grandma did from a WW2-plane, trying to kill her by machinegun-fire... Thanks for your comment... you see: It made me think a bit ❣

Viele sind wieder aufgebaut worden

And who started both world wars?

@@willylao5430Germany only started the second…50 iq person🤦🤦🤦 the ,,allies,, started the first for greed…

@@willylao5430 One by a clown and two by a thug.

Merci pour votre commentaire!

Thanks

WW1 ? It's a joke, i guess, no ? Germany was left almost intact by WW1. Biggest destructions on the western front were in France and Belgium. Mostly in France. Most northeastern France was like the surface of the moon in 1918, after dozens millions shells fired. Try to learn some history, please. A big part of Germany was destroyed during WW2, not WW1.

Absolutely. Much of what tourists see, with some exceprions, are restorations and recreations. Some are done better then others.

​@@OMERDALORS-ps8qlGermany was devasted during the 30 years War. The destruction was so thorough and severe, that it took Germany a long span of time to fully recover.

If you believe in re-incarnation, they are probably back living amongst us in different bodies. Life is a cycle of birth, death, re-birth ….

Bald werden wir auch nicht mehr hier sein

A Alemanha sempre esteve a frente da humanidade.

What is your opinion on Kaiser Wilhelm II?

Thanks a lot !

Es wurde allerdings erstmals vom Freikorps Lützow, was eine deutsche freiwillige Kampftruppe gegen Napoleon war, verwendet und dann in der Vormärz im Zuge der nationalen und liberalen Strömung wieder als Symbol für Einigkeit, Recht und Freiheit aufgegriffen. Es hat also in der Tat schon bevor diese Bilder gemacht wurden existiert. Wegen des Scheiterns der 48iger Revolution wurde es nach 1849 natürlich nicht mehr so richtig benutzt und später im Kaiserreich (woher all diese Bilder stammen) wurden die Farben der Flagge des Norddeutschen Bundes (schwarz weiß rot) übernommen.

Thanks a Lot !

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Thank you, as always !

W can not make a differnce anymore, if it' s a Railway Station, a Museum, a Bank or a Supermarket... that`s modern architecture... Thank you for your comment... same to me: discovering the differences, the originality of something.

Which is fascinating as Churchill lived long enough to see jet air travel, humans travel into space, colour television, etc., as well as the Kaisers being swept away. While there is no way to objectively measure it, I often feel people like my grandparents (1870’s/90’s - 1980’s) lived through far more substantial change than people have over the last 50-60 years or so…

@@arthurm4726 We are living through a glorious rainbow revolution, can't you see?

You are so right! Thanx for your correction!

Thanks, I thought that too - Yep, the cars on a run in Berlin in 1900 are actually on Grosvenor Place London that is the wall to Buckingham Palace Gardens behind them. There are a few more look like London to me too.

😀👍

That's amazing! It's sad that history has to take the course it would take, starting with the treaty of Versailles...

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it

Muchísimas gracias

*Wunderbar it is if you meant wonderful in german :P

Hätte man damals schon "westliche Werte" gehabt, wäre Deutschland nicht durch die Nazis in die totale Zerstöung geführt worden. Weine leise, Brauner.

Ja, so schön war's. Der Nationalismus und Miltarismus der direkt in die Zertörung Deutschlands geführt hat. Was haben uns "Westliche Werte" gebracht? Außer Wiederaufbau und Wohlstand? Nichts!

Thank you so much !

I am missing pictures of Jewish life in the Kaiserreich....

Europe in general. I am glad I lived in Germany during the 60s, when it was fully German.

@@DiamondMcNamara because?

@@DiamondMcNamaraWhat do you expect about Jewish life? Jews in the Kaiserreich lived and looked exactly the same as everyone else

Because tensions existing while segregation is at hand. In western-Europe. Globalism doesn't work .

😀👍

Thank you !

Winston Churchill who was later the most active to destroy old german architecture for nothing.

@@jacquesgeorges1041 i'd Say that the most Active in this operation have been Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson...

they had camera obscura, but nothing to save the image on

Thanks

Jepp eindeutig,... ich bin von da und kann das bestätigen.
