Destination 2014: Würzburg
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The city of Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, is the capital of Lower Franconia and has a history extending at least as far back as 704 BC. And there is no hiding the fact that religion has always been very important.

Meine Lieblingsstadt. Ich lebe in Russland und war mehrmals in Wuerzburg. Ich vermisse es und hoffe da Mal wieder um einfach eine Tasse Kaffee zu trinken zu kommen.
That's ironic. I was stationed in Würzburg and had traveled to Moscow shortly after the fall of the wall.
I miss my time living in Germany. I see I truly missed a beautiful city . Maybe some day I will travel back to there someday.
Was there in 98. Beautiful city.
I remember walking these streets many times as a kid. Loved it.
I once found pictures of condition the Falkenhaus after WWII. It was so badly damaged I am amazed that any attempt to reconstruct it was made. About all that was left was about half of the facade and parts of the side walls. Amazing work to reconstruct this one of a kind building. It was a joy to take lunch at a little outdoor cafe just across from it.
One of the loveliest city in Germany. I was for a period very often in Würzburg.
Also more accurate then my City tours.
Einfach nur schön! Danke!
MY BEAUTIFUL CITY!!!!
Having been fortunate enough to spend 8 months at the University of Würzburg over 30 years ago, your video brought back many fond memories and informed me about a few things I hadn't been aware of. Vielen Dank!
Danke für deine Videos. Ich bin Brasilianerin und liebe nach Deutschland reisen. Nur einmal war ich da aber mit deinem Videos kann ich danach noch reisen. Ich träume ins Deutschland leben aber es ist unmöglich. Danke nochmals. Die gefallen mir sehr.
Entschuldigung für die Fehler, ich kann nicht gut Deustch.
Such a beautiful look of my home city :)
Beautiful city indeed.
Yeah ! You visited my city ...hope you had a good time. Its a beautiful place.
Spent 3 years as a child there, very nice.
I was born in Wurzburg and will be moving back there in a couple of years. It is a beautiful city and I love visiting whenever possible.
Würzburg is the home town of Dirk Nowitzki, in the NBA (National Basketball Association) team of the Dallas Mavericks. Doesn't Würzburg have a special chicken-sausage soup as well? The Residenz has a nice staircase, that was shown on the former DM 50,00 banknote, the one that had Balthasar Neumann on the front. Sadly since the Euro became legal tender, I don't have any more Deutsche Mark, Schilling, French or Belgian Franc or Italian Lira, but maybe ten Slovene Tolar leftover.
I have not been to Würzburg in almost twenty years.
I had no idea he was from Würzburg. Talk about irony. I had met Dirk totally by accident while stationed at Fort Ben Harrison, IN (located in Indianapolis). I was at a dance club at Keystone at the Crossing and he and other Mavericks players were there. Prior to Fort Ben, I had been stationed in Würzburg from 1981-1993.
Looks like a beautiful city - I'm glad the old buildings were restored.
Thinking about visiting here. This video helps as I have a rough idea what to expect.
Your narration is so calming, and it's obvious a lot of research was done. Thank you for sharing these videos of the places you visit.
Lovely city with long history.
As a KSP player, I felt some weightlessness in the cathedral. It was "bathed in light" 😉
Ganz ehrlich, das könnte auch im Nachmittagsprogramm eines öffentlich-rechtlichen Senders laufen.
MAX - Zwischen Gamepad & Tastatur! (derLPMaxe)
Und?
Lunaria ich denke dass das ein Kompliment war, weil es so professionell wirkt, dass es im Fernsehen laufen könnte.
Great vid...now I want to go there. Lived in Germany for 6 years and only drove by Wurzburg a couple of times.
My hometown, I think Im crying a little ;DD
My hometown! I was just there two weeks ago. Thanks for this.
Thats home. I miss it sometimes
Wurzburg was the first place I was assigned to when I was in the Army. I was supposed to be assigned to 3rd Infantry Division. Luckily they didn't keep me and sent me back to the 21st replacement battalion in Frankfort :-)
+Starguard ! Why luckily? I think Würzburg is a lot nicer than Frankfurt
I didn't want to be stuck in an Infantry unit :-)
I am from Frankfurt/Main, but lived for 4 years in Würzburg. It may look more beautiful, but somehow I feel more comfortable in Frankfurt.
Starguard ! I can accept that ;-)
Armando B. Well, I guess that has to do with where you grew up. I grew up close to Würzburg, so I love that place or more like the whole Unterfränkische Environment ;)
Even though I study somewhere else now, and I also love that place, there's always that feeling of coming home once I reach Würzburg when visiting my parents :)
Was there in 80 - 84 Leighton Barracks
love your videos!
The city was detroyed 6 WEEKS not month before tthe end of WW2...
Yes, that is true. When the Allies had munitions left over from the Schweinfurt bombing raids, they were dropped on Würzburg when returning to England. There is a day in the fall(?) when the bells throughout the city will ring in memory of the dead. My German girlfriend told me of this. IMHO, a black eye for the Allies.
@@richardclifford003 not fall more like spring it was March 16th 1954
The most important of the many redeeming features of the Residence (built by genius Balthasar Neumann btw.) is the vault in the staircase. It covers 20x30 m and is the largest cantilever construction of this kind. When it was built, many people doubted that it would stand, but it even survived the bomb raid. The vault is 5 m deep (in the center). It's 2 m thick at the four sides and just 0,5 m thick in the center. All this was built in the Baroque era. The fresco was painted by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
Excellent, professional-grade film! You really have a talent for these sir! I've added this to my favorites and to my likes as well.
i fucking love this city and im really thankfull for living here
Wonderful, love the music.
Very well done! :) I like your "Destination"-videos.
Love it, love your travel videos. They are just the type of video's I like to see about other and sometimes off the beaten track German cities!!
I'd like to visit Würzburg. Where can I get to see the squirrel at 12:58? ;-)
Das Eichhörnchen can probably be found in in the Residenzgarten (www.google.de/maps/@49.791785,9.9403885,58a,35y,7.91h,61.1t/data=!3m1!1e3).
@@stbufraba Nice to see that those little devils are still running around in the city. They were the first ones that I managed to see on my first visit there more than thirty years ago.
A most enjoyable and informative video. I hope to see many, many more like these. Greetings from the Netherlands.
💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Lieben
I juts want to say thanky you.
Like You I moved to another country (Germany ->Ireland). And Würzburg is not really known here. Now I have something to show where I come from. :)
A little Side note. There are plenty Events in this town such as the Afrika- Festival Or the U&D (Umsonst und drasussen - a free music festival) . Just to call the two biggest.
How ever very well done.:D Oh man, I think I am getting home sick. :')
Just a quick heads up: The video is very well done, but I always had to adjust the sound volume. When you talk, I had to crank it up to almost full (in the youtube player), and then when you stopped talking, I got shock-treated by the music always every time, so the volume had to go back down to a quarter or so. But maybe it's just me, I like to understand the language, but loud music often distracts me more than anything (I also never listen to the radio, and while listening to music, I can hardly do anything else)...
I'm with you! If RUclipsrs MUST add Muzak to their videos I wish that they would limit the volume. Or, better still, only add it in mono to 1 of the stereo tracks so we can wind the volume down to sensible levels - or eliminate it altogether whilst still leaving the narration. You can use the auto-generated subtitles and (even worse) the Gurgle translations - but only when you need a laugh and a groan! 🙄😉
Very good, Andrew! I enjoyed it immensely!
Very nice!Loved it!
It's a pity that no photography is allowed in the Würzburg Residence. It has one of the most striking interior decorations, I have ever seen- the fresco's of Neumann's staircase, While Hall & Imperial Hall. All so magnificent indeed! Wouldn't the authorities allow you to make a video for educational/ recreational purposes?
Photography isn't allowed? I've been in 3 times and each time I've taken photos with the tour guide. Granted you cant just walk around snooping but photos are allowed
I miss you wurzburg
Someone plays Kerbal Space Program :) :) So, what planets have you landed on?
Celtic in 1000 BC, it was Celtic (Irish) missionaries who brought Christianity to it.
Christianity has been practiced in Europe since the first century, and a number of the Pauline Epistles were addressed to Christians living in Greece, as well as other parts of the Roman Empire.
There's this legend of the missionaries, but at the time Würzburg was already Christian.
Awwww, I'm getting slightly homesick
Most excellent Herr Andrew...
If possible, you should visit Elsen! My own family name comes from that German town.
Can you please visit Steinach in Thuringia? (i dont know how it must it write sry ^^)
wuerzburg ist meine heimatstadt seit 1954 habe extrem viel erlebt in ganz wuerzburg gruss der alte rudi von der pleich hobbyfilmer seit januar 1984
what a damn shame ,the destruction of war!!!!!!!!
Going to Würburg tomorrow: I now know what to look out for. Great video!
if you ever have a chance would you do a video on Essen?
Essen is ugly , end

But it would be a delight to hear rewboss talk around that fact.
Home sweet home I wish I was still there
I wonder what reason was there to carpet bomb Würzburg.
Payback.
RManFlint A rather stupid answer.
Petra Meyer After Hitler made targeting civilian targets a priority, the British wanted revenge.
A stupid question deserves a stupid answer.
The reason was to destroy their moral
It was not just an issue of carpet-bombing. The damage from conventional carpet-bombing wouldn't have been that great, But much like Dresden, Würzburg was fire-bombed, with the whole old city turned into one large furnace. Almost all of the historical buildings you saw within the old city are actually reconstructions from the ruins.
As for the reason, the British were p.o. about the damage done to their cities and so they decided they'd show the Germans. In fact, a British diplomat a while ago, at the anniversary of the Hamburg firebombing (Operation Gomorrha) bemoaned the madness that had gripped both sides, his included.
My new home
Are there enough things to see and do to stay two days?
yes!
+George Seward Absolutely!
OMG, yes. Plenty of things going on (Kiliani) and numerous places to go.
1:52
"coventriert" as Dr. Goebbles said
sounds like you just reached space at 6:45 ;)
@RManFlint no no revenge. Because there was nothing you could have revenged like that. The uk started with the bombings and Germany only bombed London a little bit while the uk and the zss usa bombed every german city.
Because quite soon, the German Luftwaffe was no longer capable of the bombing raids as far away as the UK as were done by the Allies. Even then, Warszaw was completely destroyed, as were other mainly Eastern European cities. Leuven got torched a second time (as if the destruction of the first University Library wasn't enough...). Rotterdam was virtually blown to oblivion. There are many other exemples...
@@barvdw , Rotterdam was also bombed by the "Anglo-Saxons" ... Warsaw wasn't bombed by airplanes but destroyed by artillery due to the "uprising".
If the Germans had wanted to smash the Polish soul they would have deliberately destroyed Krakow which they didn't.
The German Luftwaffe didn't dispose of a huge bomber fleet that was capable flying from Germany to Northern England and back to Germany. The German Luftwaffe was conceived to support the fighting troops on the ground and not to carry out long-range attacks independently.
On the contrary the RAF did dispose of such a huge bomber fleet and the decision to create such a fleet had been taken long before the war started. And it was the British that bombed German cities first (f. ex. Mőnchengladbach on May 12, 1940 and several cities in the Ruhr area in the same month)
By the end of the war nearly every German city centre of a certain cultural importance was destroyed. Wűrzburg, the Franconian Prague, was destroyed even after the terrible raids on Dresden!
06/06 ich werde da sein S2
I spent a year in this city. The fact that in that very year I got sick with depression tells the story. Sorry to everyone who loves the city and finds it beautiful, but to me, Würzburg will always be an unfriendly, unwelcoming part of Germany.
The video is great, though. :)
Well, blaming a whole city for your sickness is a bit harsh. Guess you had bad luck and met the wrong people under the wrong circumstances. Hope you feel better these days!
