- Interesting, software-enhanced, motion-stabilized, restored and AI colorized film about Stockholm (Sweden) in 1936. The speed of the film has been delayed by 30% to obtain the correct speed. Because of this, the audio has also been stretched and thus occasionally sounds a bit slurred.
Stockholm is the cultural, media, political, and economic centre of Sweden as well as its capital.
The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Outside the city to the east, and along the coast, is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. It is also the county seat of Stockholm County [Wiki].
In 1936, the year of this film, an international Expo was held in Stockholm. In that year it had about half a million inhabitants. Nowadays that number has risen to 1.8 million in the urban areas.

As a Stockholm native, i cannot tell you enough how much i appreciated this film.
My mother was Swedish, and lived in Stockholm at the time when she was a teenager, so, I can't tell you how much I personnally appreciate this video!
If you know the address of where her home used to be, I can go there an snap a few photos if you want.

How wonderful to go back in time to see such a beautiful country.the colour is beautiful. I thank you for sharing this with
me in this time. I appreciate all of it!
Stockholm was one of few lucky cities that survived the horrors of WW2. Unfortunately, it's beautiful architecture was still destroyed in the name of "progress". It's sad to see ugly and bland buildings that now occupy many of the magnificent buildings we see in this video.
Its the population growth, human being triple in the last century,what do u expect
@@jungli2481 Nonsense. Population growth does not require ugly architecture.
Modernist architecture was - in the words of the leading architects - _ideologically_ motivated and made in a socialist spirit. They considered classic architecture to be "sentimental," religious and nationalistic and standing in the way for the new man.
One of them, French architect Le Corbusier, stated the goal of modernist architecture; _"We must produce a mass production state of mind."_ He also said; "said; _"a house is a machine for living in"._
Much more can be said on the topic, but the goal of hideous modernist architecture was ideological and political from the beginning.
most of the buildings featured in this video remain today... the parts that were renovated (usually slums) are not necessarily ugly just because they werent built over 200 years ago. PK-huset for example. What le corbusier wanted was horrid but its very reductive to call any form of modernism bad
Oh worry not, now its filled with grenade lobbing, assault rifle toting refuse of the global south! Rejoice! The end is NIGH!
The people who are still around that facilitated the removal of such buildings, outside of cases where there was a risk of the building collapsing or being structurally unsafe, should be in jail. They should have never been allowed to remove those beautiful buildings that were part of what made Stockholm the Venice of the North. I still think Stockholm is arguably one of the best if not the best European city otherwise.
Wonderful! And an entire film. Love it. I can't get over how you got the sound so great. Its always a mess at this age. Perfect!!
Born and raised in Stockholm, so I appreciated this very much :D thank you
It’s funny how this man gives more attention to the detail of my home city than most of the modern day inhabitants. What a time to be alive this must have been
Atheism destroyed Sweden.
Prachtig en interessant! Zo mooi gedaan weer!❤️
I compensated the stretched, slurred-like sound by downing a few drams of Laphroaig.
Wonderful video, Rick. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Well done, impressive work! Thanks from Australia
It was such a beautiful and relaxed city!
it was in the past
@@fortune300 How has it changed do you mean? Everything is still left and the city has improved in almost all ways. The only thing is that we've pretty much only built pointless, segregated suburbs for the last 100 years and not let the city itself grow.
True, It "was"
@@user-lv6rn9cf8m The old city is still beautiful as well as all the other area that have been preserved. However as you mentioned with the suburbs and if I may add the architecture of all modern building being built with post-modernism as an influence has tarnished the once magnificent Stockholm. Stockholm is not the only example of this as you can see the same pattern in all modern western cities. We are currently in the age of decadence.
@@user-lv6rn9cf8m The change is: today you can find gang wars in Sweden instead of relaxed citizens.
Utmärkt! Tusen tack för detta. Svensk-kanadensare här!
Geweldige video weer... 👍
wow, just thank you for warming my Swedish heart!
"Pedestrians are given all the breaks in Stockholm. Something to think about"
If only I could travel back in time :(
Would want to see this with my own eyes
This was great!
Zweden van Venetië van het noorden tot nu NO GO ZONE van het noorden😱👎🏻
A time and town to temember and honor. Love this video.👍👍👍👍👍
Okay I see your content. You have a new subscriber
Guessing it’s summer, in winter..Oy 😳fantastic clip
Beautiful!
1936 Sweden looks and feels like 1960 -70 in North America.
I mean, Sweden was very advanced for the time.
The most backhanded compliment I've ever seen.
Great video! I Love to see the People and cars in colour. The buildings in old town havent changed alot. I Love My city!
Yes, it is a beautiful city and you are unbelievably lucky to live there - I would loooooooove to live in any of the Scandinavian countries, all beautiuful, green, cultured and so, so civilised...
@@frenchgrama Thank you!

@@Rick88888888 Oh thank you so much. Im so excited about our project. Im working tirelessly to get it going sooner than this fall, not to push you, but to get started with you sooner. It is going to be such a great result, I know it. Each time you post a new video I am amazed more each time and get more and more excited about our work. People are going to absolutely love our final result, I'm sure of it.
Absolutely beautiful
RUclips är den enda tidsmaskinen som finns
Lovely
Great clip. I thought the voice over was ai because many words sounded wonky and then they talked about a raft in the end which is a permanent buoy but I concluded that it must be real.
No war. .no Propaganda no economic crisis. ..beautifull
I don't live in Stockholm but i live in Sundsvall and I love this video❤
So many places in this film that I recognise - I'd love to be able to go back in time and explore the Stockholm of 1936.
very good made, i live in sweden
Yes it was truly a pleasant place, today ruined by awful modern buildings. I live in Stockholm and it makes me angry to see what is being done.
Jag blir så jävla sur när de bygger kommunisthus efter kommunisthus. Synd att man inte kan färdas i tiden och få se dåtida Stockholm med egna ögon.
It was a place where most lived in dire poverty
Inte bara byggnader som förstör Stockholm, även de ”nya svenskarna”
@@dancingcucumber9183Socialdemokraterna borde ha stoppats på 50-talet. Det var, i min uppfattning, ett brott mot det svenska folket och framförallt de som bodde i Stockholm att ta bort den fina arkitekturen NÄR STOCKHOLM VAR EN AV DE FÅ STÄDER SOM INTE BOMBADES UNDER ANDRA VÄRLDSKRIGET. Bedrövligt. De som genomförde detta borde skämmas
@@Jeff-bd5yoSweden was a normal country before atheism and cultural Marxism
Tried to see young Astrid Lindgren with her little son sitting at a café somewhere...I am sure she is lost in the crowd...
Starts with the Swedish national anthem. And a sailing ship that hoists the Finnish flag. Still, this is fascinating.
Well, Stockholm is the capitol of Sweden, what do you expect? Finland is their neigboring country...
It could also be the Ai translating the colors wrong from black and white. The type of film used in those days often made the yellow cross look darker than the blue background, making swedish flags appear finnish.
Edit: However, there is a swedish flag later in this video that looks right, so you might be right about that first flag.
Not too sure about that, the clip is very damage so it could very well be the swedish flag. Either case, it's not like they mixed up the two countries when they start of by talking about the port of stockholm so many ships from other countries dock there. but good eye, i had to go back and check when i read this.
The architect of the City Hall is Ragnar Östberg.
How nice...Sweden National Anthem at the very beginning.
Absolutely stunning beautiful lolx. ❤
The Ship in the begining reminds me of another ship named "af Chapman". Its still around. Its now a youth hostel in stockholms harbour. The differens between the ships, is that the ship in the video has 4 mast but "af Chapman" has 3. I think they lookalike. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Af_Chapman_(ship). Google it!
Traffic on the left for another 30 years.

Where is all the somalia gangsters?

Gone with the wind 🍃
Stockholm is still here and better than ever since it's had almost 100 years more to evolve.
When this was shot Stockholm had real slums with like 5 families living in one small room and people were starving to death.
@Dutch Slatin I'm naive for telling facts? Why? Am I naive in thinking these people will listen or what do you mean?
@@user-lv6rn9cf8m Wont be long til we are back there, just with more color LOL
@@SwedishEmpire1700 There's literally nothing at all that tells us that. Everything is heading in the opposite direction. "LOL!!!!!""

Quá đẹp
The colors are off. The part from 3:14 is a popular view from the tower of Stockholm City Hall where the The Nobel Banquet is every year. It looks like a swampy field in the background but it is water in reality that connects the city to the Baltic Sea. And the church to the right is Riddarkyrkan which is not blue but more like made of bricks. Both Venice and Stockholm nowadays have dirty water. Stockholm not so much but the water have like slit so you don't really see through it as you can in some other cities in the world.
No mention of crazy cold weather. Went there in early April 2017 it was 34 f / 2c a few days but 26f / -3c most of the time. Brrrr. Hotel employees said 34f was a heat wave. I said um no lol Las Vegas in September 52c / 125f is a heat wave. Nice to see some people lived better than most than the US, probably still true.
@The Truth 57 is cold. My friend in Wisconsin doesn't mind -15. Can't imagine I'm ever going to Minnesota or North Dakota. Heard Winnipeg is even colder. Ice belongs in your soda not in your veins.
Stockholm is far North in Europe. As far as Anchorage, Alaska. A Cold winterday is -20c and this Summer it was 33c.
@@Splurr I’ll take a European winter any day compared to the never ending summers we have here in Brisbane, Queensland Australia - summer is 6 months long, it’s soooo hot that you feel like you are cooking alive when you go outdoors and you sweat like a pig all day if you are not in air-conditioning. I’ve lived through a few European winters, sure it’s cold but if you have the right clothing it’s not too bad - the wind is a killer in the cold weather though... Here in Brisbane I’m locked indoors for 6 months of the year because of the heat and we only have, IF we are lucky, 4 months of cool weather when it’s safe to be outdoors... the exact opposit of Europe - but during my European winters I spent at least 9 months of the year outdoors at every possible opportunity simply because it was beautiful and comfortable and I wasn’t cooking alive and I wasn’t sweating and looking for shade.
0:13 I am a little bit sad because of the way how the instruments play the national anthem of Sweden.
What, no riots?
Nope. This was before 2015 🤣
this was back when the idiots SD is dreaming about killed each left and right.
Stockholm is Stockholm. Venice is Venice. I prefer the first.
After this, all of it went south...
1936-the quiet before the storm of war. I wonder how many of these Swedes were aware of what was to come.
Sweden was neutral and was not invaded.
The fact that they weren't invaded hints something about the character of their very special "neutrality" along with the never resting kilometers long trains shipping iron and steel to the Wehrmacht' weapon industry
@@FenceThis And? We heleped Germany during the war, Sweden has and continues to have good relations with Germany. Russia has always been our main enemy therefore why should we not help Germany when fighting Russia?
Im proud of that my country helped Germany, what i’m ashamed of is that we did not join Finland in their defensive war against Russia in 1939.
Do not forget the German military who guarded Swedish mines etc .. Many were terrified of what would happen if you did not obey Germany in everything they suggested.
@@fortune300 What are you talking about? That’s a massive lie. German soldiers were never on duty in Sweden. They were transported on train trough he country when on leave but that’s it.
Looks like now more or less.
The intro is with The Swedish National Anthem, where the lyrics are "I want to live and die in the north" some people today, however, complained it sounds too racist!
seriöst?
@@vilgothogberg4108 Ja i dagens lite vansterlutande Sverige sa tycker en del, mest unga sa!
@@bjornpalenius2144 vilket jävla dravel, satans stolpskott 😂
så där stockholm ska vara och se ut full av skandinaver och riktiga svenskar
Its rather "the Paris of the north"
very few fat people in this times
Such a peacefull and relaxed country back then..
Sweden today : 🔥🚗 🔥 🚙 🔥🚓 ☪️
Funny enough on the opening scne the sailing ship is raising a Finnish flag, so it was not a Swedish but a Finnish ship...
And back then Finland had only existed for measly nineteen years. Used to be just a part of Sweden until the Russians stole that area of Sweden and gave it borders for the first time in history.

if only we could go back to this beautiful past when sweden was swedish and not like today a third world country
And what is wrong with Sweden today? Sweden suddenly ceased to be Sweden and began to call itself something else, or did people die out there? Sweden is a third world country?! Have you been to other countries to draw such conclusions ? Sweden - is the most ecological country on the planet. Everywhere has and will have its shortcomings. Nothing is perfect. What kind of whiners are you...🙄
@@elenahirshler No, Sweden didnt have the high crime like they have now

Sadly this is true. Why they let in these Islamic hordes I will never understand. Never.
@@iVenge the elites want to remain in power forever and they will use islam to do so,that's why
Racists belong to the hell. They see negatives in the beauty, dark in the light and hell in the heavens. Go home and wash your mouth.

Islam? Did anyone mention Islam here?
You seem to take every opportunity ti hate Islam even when the discussion is about something else. Good luck with your hate and live short.
It's a much better place now, thanks to full-scale Ahmedization.
