It is just mind blowing to realize that everybody in this film is long dead. The city is the same, many of the buildings are the same, but every living thing in the city and all of it's residents - people, dogs, pigeons and all - have been replaced by new beings. And all of them are or once were equally real, living, breathing people, just living their every day lives in what is basically another world. History and time are fascinating.
I used to live in that city, I can actually recognise a lot but also a lot has changed. To be fair Grunn is always changing like any other place in the world.
Everywhere the camera goes, everyone is standing around getting a good eyeful of it. Almost feels like they're looking directly at us from the past, but they could never have known.
@@diora266 I hazardously assumed that with the "elephant in the room" he meant the fact that back then they were all white and it's sad that now native europeans are facing extinction. I definitely could be wrong, but if I got him right I agree with him.
They used more bikes than horses, and you can find these streets on Google street view and still see a lot of bikes. Cars take up so much space and ruin cities. They're necessary transportation but when you get deeper into a city it really needs to just be public transit, bikes, and motorized commercial vehicles transporting heavier goods.
The work on this film gives a stunning and engrossing viewing. I could watch your remastered films all day. You should be very proud as you have a valuable skill.
Thanks for sharing. I am Italian but I live in Amsterdam for almost 20 years. It was such a pleasure to see these images and notice how people dressed and went about in those days. I have been to Groningen many times and I have loved to see it for the first time in such an old film.
@@emrecanarduc4378 well, it has changed a lot. 100 years brought many novelties.... but still it is one of the nicest city of the Netherlands with a unique vibe and many students.
We actually had to protest consistently throughout the 60's-80's to keep that bike and public transport oriented infrastructure. In the post-WWII era city planners wanted to copy car-centric city planning from the US.
Thank you. A wonderful film a blast from the past of Groningen. The camera and film director were masterful in creating a film of daily life in this town. Everyone is beautifully dressed, the buildings are magnificent and clean with an attractive design configuration. The wide roads are wide and grand to give free and easy movement to traffic and pedestrians and the shops with awnings are tastful; a bygone era with much interest by the town's people and children were fascinated by being filmed. Absolutely super and brilliantly restored and colourful. ❤❤❤❤ xxx
Geeks and eccentrics. Even the camcorder footage of cities and shopping malls of the 80s by geeks are really valuable contemporary history in my view now ; ) K
When I watch animated people in this movie, I forget that all of them are already gone, but this video produces illusions in my mind that they`re still alive somewhere in the world.
7:39 the kids in the foreground were likely told to stand there, but I think it's funny that because of the general state of photography they were probably used to having to stand perfectly still for an extended period of time for stills photographs.
4:03 - 4:21 im thinking about the video camera was an advance technology by looking how people react of that time when the video cameraman was filming them..those people were amazed amd curious of what they saw..
@@holyeppie that is incorrect, I can name a view cities that were bombarded, or destroyed. Enschede, Hengelo, Den Hague, Groningen suffered a lot of a damage, more than 300+ were destroyed during battle between Canadians and Germans, you can see the big scar on the Grote Markt. Beauty and harmony facing ugliness and distortion.

In the heart of the Spanish Flu pandemic. Interesting to see how social interactions have changed. Not saying anything either way. Just interesting to see.
It's not the US or germany. I'm not a fashion expert but I think 1919 is accurate. And judging from the very few cars I saw, they certainly don't look 1900 - 1905. And I doubt you'd see that many back in the early 1900s.
Yes, but that is all an illusion. We now know with hindsight, and it should have been predictable to anyone with a knowledge of historical trend, that, unless the Nazis won then the colonial and dynastic allegiances of the Dutch and Western Europe would bring the melting pot into Europe.
@@jonglewongle3438 Nothing was possible like that without the spread of democratic socialism throughout Europe and with the fall of the iron curtain no one could have predicted this.
@@Matlockization " democratic socialism ". Thus, Social Democracy. Therefore Hitler would have predicted it. And I believe that he all but did in Mein Kamof. But he was too carried away with eastern living space. But your parochial bozo would be clueless. He'd be " Yay ! Hollywood regarding the war. Beat the Nazis, got our Queen Beatrice back. Our way of like is saved. Gotta settle in and support our Hollywood allies.". Then the next Hollywood flick is poor idealistic Third Worlders defy the Dutch ignorance as they settle in Rotterdam. Then your parochial ditz is " Err ! What ! That's got me fooked. ". And he wants to be the White Aryan, of course, the windmills and clogs and Jesus Christmias, the whole bit, and it cannot be the Nazis being blue-eyed Aryans, but his Queen is devoted to the vestiges of Empirical patronage and is thus totally committed to the melting pot. And he is forever on the political defensive against the Social Democracy. The Soviet Bloc is nothing to do with it. None of them had anything to do with Third World colonial empires. Quisling in Norway, and the Nazis' man in Holland, etc, and so on, were your last hope of a white Europe. An impartial statement of political fact, whether or not RUclips Jeffersonianism allows it
@Marcus Aurelius Immagration in the Netherlands has nothing to do with Americans helping us vet our freedom back. Years later the Netherlands invited people from Maroco to come work and what they didn't plan was that those people would stay. So idk what your point is but..

The Verona didn't exist then. But the WW false flags were full swing, same sort of psychological attack by the corproate psychopaths, but without those divine surgical masks. One thing, their class wars are virtual now, their 'war' is now the Information War, so they are not killing people with their weapons the way they had to before in these operations...But they have been doing it since the 1300s theft of the common land when they became The Landed Gentry with their thug armies and witch burning ; ) K

We study this period in school (post WW1 Europe) but to see the ordinary people living there lives is just stunning. Please keep up the amazing work.
*their lives not there. There means over there! Their means them.
The person that filmed this had great camera work. Some of this looks like drone footage.
Before the car invasion. People just walking wherever seems freer.
They used horses and there was horseshit everywhere I’m afraid
We still have walking and cycling, but a bit more modernized i might add 🤣.
It's interesting because cars are so impersonal--it's hard to even see the person(s) inside, so all you generally see is the object itself.
I wonder why there weren't more automobiles.

why did he come to US?
Can I ask why?

80 years later, I was visiting this town as an exchange student.
It looks amazing. It is strange there are no cars on the roads. I see horse and carts and horse drawn carriages. Also people on bicycles. 🚲
Pretty sure I wasnt allowed to just drive a car trough the center of Groningen the last time I went there (in 2019)
@@vloev Pretty sure huh?
So you're just inputting a jackass comment? Mission accomplished.
It's 1919 for Pete's sake! Automobiles were a novelty owned by the wealthy and were scarce.
Cars were just just invented for a few years and very expensive still and probably not so good yet
@@Relax0kay Thanks. I didn't know that. I just think it looks amazing and so different not seeing cars on the road.
100 years later and the bicycle hasn't changed and is still as relavent.
Beautiful film wonderfully restored. Enjoyed seeing it!!
Who would tough to record these footage's back then. They could not imagine how precious these things would became in our age....

Cameramen is the best
The Duch loved to bicycle already in 1919.
Fantastic
It looks and feels so much better without cars. The ciy is has a more open feel that way. It seems everybody has more time. Nobody is in a hurry.
No one looking at their phones
No casuals, Everyone dressed in office wear and not in tshirts and Football Shorts / track pants.
What's wrong with T Shirts and Shorts?

people were walking very fast no??

The bikes have hoop wheels no rubber tires
I really do feel like this could be older than 1919. Where are the automobiles. This looks more like earlier 1900s 1905ish perhaps
