philosopher and star adored and despised. karl marx farrakhan of communism a man whose ideas change the world but also defeated it. will offend is he today and what influence does he have on politics and general culture. on the two hundredth anniversary of his birth certificate human tree marks and his errors g.w. . is this is the city of men stuck in the state of north rhine-westphalia it's also noticed germany's bicycle capital because there are twice as many bikes as people.

there's a huge bicycle rental parking and service garage right at the central train station . it's got room for three thousand three hundred bikes very convenient especially for commuters. you can have your cycle repair it serviced or even washed it's all here. and tourists like me can't even rent a bike to explore the city. minster was founded one thousand two hundred years ago this is where great european history once took place but environmental protection also has a great reputation and is considered a green city sounds like an exciting day to me.

well i also spent time in the surrounding area known as wealthy lots of lovely castles and visit a diving park where you can explore and on the water were. also see the spectacular scenery of newfoundland sent in by a viewer. i thought the best place to start my tour was the prom enough it's sort of moves us bicycle highway and circles the outskirts of the old town. moonstone may be old but its population is young of the city's three hundred thousand inhabitants sixty thousand our students nearly everyone here writes of like cycling paths crisscrossed the city and the direction of signage is excellent . the quincy part mocked in the heart of the old town is considered one of the most

beautiful squares in germany the gabled housing estate back to the days of the hands at a clique. a splendid example of late gothic architecture st lumbee at the east church. the town hall was the site of an important event in the seventeenth century. in recognition of that it was awarded the european heritage label in the council chamber known as the phaeton sod today i have an appointment with historian funs jules if jack will be. back and what happened here in this room in sixteen forty eight. in the. book the thought of the peace of westphalia was signed in this room namely the special piece a separate piece between a spanish habsburgs fan and the rebellious calvinist northern provinces of the

netherlands. not. coming let's go over here. we go beyond the barrier. this isn't a picture of a council chamber just as you also see it now and the swearing of the oath of the ratification of the contractual document is in this cost get. the swearing on the bible as you see on the right the dutch are raising their hands to take their oath from where they all look so alike they have the same hairstyle was that usual for the time. if you look closely they do differ of course. the dutch are wearing clothing and the spanish or wearing the diplomatic garb of the time. fight but why did that piece mean for europe at that time. the freedom flows the first an illusion of the peace of westphalia the great overall peace agreement put an end to

the thirty years war. many of spoken of the fact that it was also the birth of the international law an essential point was recognition the absolute guarantee of the independence of sovereign nations. start with what was significant about it. who are conflict lugosi ations were used to resolve the conflict the guy up there was no cease fire until this peace agreement was reached . and you could negotiate a peace treaty without that being clear victors and vanquished. that was unique at the time. when the played a big part in that event what does that mean to the minister of modern day. we fought a lot about the relevance of events back then to the present day and in my view would boils down to various that it is possible to resolve conflicts through

negotiation instead of violence start to divide we highlight that central value in the commemorative events that take place every year getting. up. and monster is offering itself as a place of negotiations for solving conflicts worldwide. and to some extent that has already begun by. well before i hop on my bike again there are still some time for all me to local our viewers those of the capital of europe white want to be built by the way according to a study it's the city with the highest quality of life in south america. welcome you to montevideo the capital of europe walk out in a little white. you know my diego gamboa i'm columbia and but moved here six years ago because the city is laid back safe and beautiful now but you see my city that i

love to show you around by you know when i said let's go. and play some of those we're starting out on the plaza independencia the city's main square among the noteworthy buildings here this is the pallets. one till nine hundred thirty five it was the tallest building in south america and it's now part of our national heritage but the money on us when i. say there's also the gateway of the citadel which is all that remains of a fortification that protected the city in the colonial era. yes like now it's at the entrance to the old town. throughout the heights of the death stream zone with shops restaurants museums and offices runs right through the old town halls he said your p.c. on the one of the dale has a million and a half residence almost half the population of europe lives with three and a half million inhabitants it's a small country. this

is the plaza my three this is the oldest plaza in town as it's surrounded by historical buildings such as montevideo cathedrals means the palace is. coming up in a mostly are also a few market stalls on the square which you can rummage through in the shade of the tree and so it could get a lot left. to go i'm going to have lunch now in a popular and traditional place at the airport market week alan laughs when i put it. on you almost like that here you find the best your wife has to offer over a sale which it exports all over the world in the highest quality border collie that yes i meet. at least one element that meat is traditionally grilled over an open fire which. it's to stick it to flavor it is a kind of that you stick with sour. taste i guess this is the typical of

your why in mixed grill that's. a bit of everything. to licious if you see. one player you want to video is situated on the shore of rio then up a lot but it's what the end has lots of beaches it's one of the loveliest posse tozer beach. ontario is totally we have a nice long probably not here where the locals can enjoy the beautiful views please meet their friends and drink the national beverage mind and assume that. one day when you go to the end montevideo has the world's longest carnival that lasts forty days that's not susceptible to the participants prepare for it all year long. he'll get several neighborhood has its own group

of performers singing about where in particular although montevideo oldest and largest park to watch the group here. well that's all for now i hope you've enjoyed montevideo and then you'll come to visit and for now enjoy the music and. now i'd like to pay a visit to minster cathedral it was built in the thirteenth century and is a city landmark. about ninety percent of the old town was destroyed during world. in many large german cities the ruins were replaced by modern buildings after the war but the people who

reconstructed there all told at least the part as it once was the cathedral suffered heavy damage but thanks to the determination of the locals it was reconstructed by one thousand nine hundred fifty six by the way it's a catholic bishop. i've been given special permission to go behind the altar to the cathedral it's where the bishop sits journeying mass. time for a coffee break twice a week on wednesdays and saturdays there is a market set up front of the cathedral. you can pick up homemade delicacies and organic products much of it comes from the surroundings the moon. which is also worth exploring because there are more than one hundred castles and

palaces of course the best way to do a trip to the countryside is by bike. or not to region around is so flat you almost run along with no effort. cost of this a typical. cost of a famous german polish was born here about two hundred years ago i met a fund to herself. she actually wrote her poems in a small country house. six kilometers from the consulate. we're now entering and that is a very private living and work room she called it her snail shells. many of the consuls and palaces a surrounded by mountains like fishing. the castle which dates from the sixteenth century one of the largest and oldest castles in munster land.

and this is known as the versailles of westphalia not kill sion palace of a real christians. several of the rooms are open to the public. in others people study because not kill palace is also home to a state run technical college. and stand on chance four thousand five hundred kilometers of bicycle paths one popular destination is valid off the horse capital of germany and tourists from all over the world come here because it's a center of horse breeding and equestrian sports. some one hundred thousand horses are said to live in manchester land more than almost anywhere in europe horses have been bred at the north rhine-westphalia and state stud for nearly two hundred years . you can take

a tour of the stuff farm. there are one hundred sixty horses in residence used as breeding stock and to train professional writers. but whether on a horse or a bicycle the best way to explore monster land is in the saddle. and. i've got another appointment now i'm here to meet city councilor much us pick one of his areas of responsibility is sustainability and so naturally he's come to our appointments far by. the pic but how come everyone amongst us cycles bought up its entire lives course cycling in. it's just part of the monster lifestyle for everyone from the mayor to the bishop to city employees rides a bike as far because it's the fastest way to get around here. but what can traffic

planners from other places learn from unstuck stop phone now one of what we have a wonderful infrastructure for cyclists and it starts with a promise not. to run the old town. there are a cycling street set of four hundred kilometer network of cycle paths in the months to area and we have to allocate a lot of money to expand the network that's why the also. has also want to words for climate protection and its energy policy what have you done to achieve that and i know that muslim is one measure is the change in pension funds for employees and staff in the city of minister if you have a council consciously decided on diesel and c o two neutral investment or avoiding child labor avoiding businesses that invest in a moment in order to point the way to climate protection and sustainability through know how to cut through that. climate protection there's a long tradition in winston since the late one nine hundred ninety s.

when we even had a department in the city administration devoted to the climate and energy and we engage the public in discussions on these issues issues such as wind turbines we have our own combined cycle power plant and funding programs for solar energy so it is a central focus. is considered a green city how much is that the result of citizen involvement. we're very interested in discussing and even deciding fundamental questions with our citizens that's also because we have a very young city with many university students but also a very committed city which weighs in on many social issues and we're quite proud of that. are you always bike or do you have a car if you have a very rarely i drive less than five thousand kilometers a year thanks for your time. and off we go.

well and now we have to do the wild made sure canada from ottawa was traveling with some friends to newfoundland and has captured his impressions of this green island in a video here's a weekly view made. my

next stop is ozzy and billick lake in the middle of this. city. and here comes my

lift and runs on solar power once an hour this boat crossed the lake to take passengers to places like this do i'm going on around trip. unless you're a captain but not a typical captain you skipper a solar power boat is that something you're proud of. josh functional i say i'm proud. mars are among the first solar boats in operation. between guns and up there you can see the number of the shipyard gave us a bone almost zero one. one what happens if the sun fails to shine for a longer period of the boat still operate. yeah as he does we have a chargeable batteries down in the hall. and we have enough power to travel for

three days with so far may i take a turn at the wheel. so here on the link sure. i won't have an accident and be right here but. not much can go wrong at this speed. is it possible you want to take over. if you want to i don't know. surrounding the lake is in one thousand hectare park stays green in more ways than one. wolf they own the water a little bit if you're interested in scuba diving about forty kilometers away from here is the place for you they have an underwater world for amateur divers.

a manmade diving pond one hundred twenty metres long and sixty metres wide going to and erica in a hot for months getting plenty to enter the water they have their own equipment it's possible to rent diving gear and book an introductory course. visibility on the water is four to five. european sturgeon inhabit the park these are about two metres in length but they can grow up to six made his position and it's a fantastic experience and i'm not afraid of the fish because they don't haul mare but they're huge and when you suddenly have a fish swimming below you and the next comes from the side and another comes along above you and sometimes they do actually touch you. the

couple will swim along steep reef like walls to a temple with columns that are five metres tall. in christian guy may submit mysterious you feel like an underwater archaeologist the water is slightly monarchy and then suddenly figures appear how do you know where else the mists of. the highlight in the underwater pocket is a sunken ship it was put here after it was retired from service as a supply vessel. has come over and i'm talking to you i don't see it all in a single time the complex are simply too large there's a new surprise around every corner.

yes this is art you can find a sculpture on practically every corner some of them are pretty wild. like the one hundred arms of the one gene. these artworks. were installed as part of the ongoing sculpture projects movie stakes addition. a free app provides more about the sculptures and their creators. this art exhibition takes place in public spaces only every ten years so we can look forward to two thousand and twenty seven here i.e. few impressions of what's going on the city during this event.

free to behold and mainly outdoors the last time thirty five artists from around the world exhibited their work in munster once in summer twenty seventeen. many public spaces became stages like this one performance art in the historical town hall. in the city's inland harbor from turkey installed an underwater bridge. and on the promenade a fountain with plaster and bronze figures by nicole eisenman from new york. the works were placed all over the city and not always easy to find in a dark tunnel thermal electric chandelier. from braman. and in a derelict cemetery cameroonian artist and

a human being installed his celestial mask. this sort of vent has been the wanted in the minster every ten years since nine hundred seventy seven and some works even get to stay when it's over. my final stop today is the crew for a lively quarter popular with students i'm going to pop into a corner. traditional restaurant called being close milla. regulars can store their personal beers stein's by the bar by the way organic beer has been brutal years since one thousand nine hundred seventy eight just a place to reflect on my day and when stuff. is somehow both historical and innovative i was able to travel far back in history

to experience crazy art and get to know some great ideas about the climate protection and the beer is delicious so that it's definitely worth a visit. the be. the be. the be.
