Altengrad is a time-progression Cities: Skylines series where I build a Central European city, located until 1989 in the Eastern Bloc, taking inspiration from Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. The series starts around the year 1920 and slowly advances forward in time, which means the city will naturally evolve all the way to modern times. The city is not a recreation of any one real-life city or country, but it takes inspiration from them.
PC specs are in the channel's About page. No, the game doesn't run like this in real time. Cinematics are recorded slow and made faster in editing.

Information about sources:
My primary sources are in Czech and Slovak, because I understand it and I can easily borrow books, search theses, articles or old TV programmes. This gives me information about Czechoslovakia. After learning or confirming something, I search whether or not it's applicable to also East Germany, Poland and Hungary through online articles or videos, but also sometimes English books that I can see through library access. Although some sources pop up from those other countries first. I don't research the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries, since that is not where the series is from. I also don't focus on political theory but rather the reality.

    WHOA, I grew up in Lublin and it's cool to hear the name of my hometown in an English-speaking video! But anyway, about trolleybuses... They were first rolled out in the 60s as a "futuristic mode of transport" and an alternative for trams for cities with hilly terrain where introduction of trams would be impossible. Two of such cities with hilly terrain where trolleybuses became the chosen mode of public transport were Lublin and Gdynia. Trolleybuses had two crucial flaws - production cost and maintenance cost. One meant that when the hybrid drive was in place the producers of trolleybuses had to cut corners on the rest of the vehicle. The other meant that once they broke down they were expensive to maintain. So after a few years of being a pain in the ass trolleybuses began to be slowly replaced by diesel buses throughout the 60s. 70s brought a spark of hope for trolleybuses. The civil war in Liban resulted in embargo on diesel fuel in soviet countries, making diesel buses expensive to use, and the electric vehicles a cheaper mode of transport. Also, a new, more reliable and cheaper trolleybus just rolled out, the soviet-made ZIU 689 (I had to google that - you can actually ride one of these in Lublin, there is a special tourist bus line T where you can ride one of these trolleybuses, it even has a cute name, Ziutek) Therefore, cities that still used trams and trolleybuses quickly began turning away from buying more diesel buses, allowing the electrical alternative to flourish. And flourish they do until this day. Half of the buses in Lublin are trolleybuses. So about 100. As for the experience riding these...they are just buses, but efficient. Like electrical buses, but without a massive battery that turns the whole neighbourhood into a raging inferno the moment you look at it funny. Also during winter, in below zero hazy mornings, every passing trolleybus will spew lightning from its charging unit. It was always magical as a kid to look out the window and see bright sparks travelling around the city.

    Having visited Lublin 3 times (2012; 2017 and 2023) it has been interesting to see its development over the last decade, especially around the train station - the new bus station looks like it will be much nicer than the old one!

    Awesome as always. Where tram lines are expanded, it'd be good to leave some of the old loops still in place. They were used as reserve turning points in case there was an accident. Also, removing tracks from roads is expensive and disruptive, so the tracks were often left there for decades until the road had to be paved over again.

    Cool shots, I really like the residential complex and the tram loop. Looks so like at my central-european home city ;) 1. Regarding trolleybusses - as you mentioned the routes with steep grades - that's exactly what I used to hear as well, including Lublin. It's not in the mountain, however it is located in a hilly terrain, especially the historic city centre, where all busses and trolleybusses need to climb a relatively steep grade. Here this mode of transportation might actually be most advantageous. Moreover, even though there might have been cheap oil from the Soviet Union, there was significant amount of coal (and thus electricity) available domestically. Interesting thing was that in 1989 Poland had a huge part of its rail network electrified, while on the rest of it not necessarily diesel, but steam steam engines were still widespread. 2. Metro - I completely understand, I've never been a fan of metro in city-building games either, trams and busses are cool ;) Altough, maybe in some 1990-2000s you could think about some "fast tram" system with high level of grade separation? I know that Praha has such lines, but an interesting case is Kraków: in 1980s construction of metro started, but it was soon abandoned because of the economic crisis. Only a small 800m-long tunnel was built, along with a station below Kraków Główny train station. In 2000s it was repurposed for the "fast tram" project ("Krakowski Szybki Tramwaj") and since then it serves as a integrated part of the tram system. Line 50 uses it alongside with mix of other fast and traditional-style sections.

    I've read that Poland decided (or Soviets encouraged them?) to keep a lot of coal for export and fixing the energy needs by importing more oil, so the coal abundance wasn't that high apparently. I would guess that the railway electrification then happened later when that energy situation proved to be economically unfavorable. Yes I'm planning some main station rework, I was exactly looking at Krakow main station for that.

Regarding train stations in 2000s-2010s - in Poland at this time there was some kind of fashion to build big shopping malls that would serve as part of the stations, unfortunately often compromising the functionality for the passengers. We even got a word for it as "dworcogaleria" (rather negative in tone). Kraków Główny has the same issue, but the worst example of dysfunctional solutions are in Poznań Główny.

    I think in the case for my city (or at least the closest city to my village) when the trams got too expensive to operate they switched to trolleybusses because the catenarys were already mostly in place. The trolleybusses took over the route that the trams used to take with some minor extensions. Everywhere else regular busses would be used.

    As far as trolleybuses in Lublin go, from what I gathered from Polish Wikipedia, tram system was considered, however as Lublin is quite hilly and has a lot of elevation changes, it was deemed that trolleybuses are more viable due to difficulties trams have on steeper tracks, and the acceleration advantage of the trolleybuses. As far as tram systems in Poland go, Kraków basically only got rid of the trams in the strict old town (which is largely a pedestrian zone, so it was a good decision) and changed narrow gauge tracks to standard gauge. Impressive systems in Poland include massive network of Upper Silesia (even including the closures) and Łódź, having very dense network in the centre, and still some of the suburban trams, going to parts of the agglomeration. And to top it off, narrow gauge. Outside of Berlin S-Bahn and Budapest HEVs, in terms of urban rail Poland had and still has Warsaw WKD, which is a light rail line, and Tricity (Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia) has a proper S-Bahn line which was developed during socialist times, it doesn't look impressive on surface due to old infrastructure and trains, but these trains often have metro-like seats, run every 10 minutes being full and have a simplified departure procedure

It's amazing how much information about public transport, that only professionals know, it was certainly necessary to study. And I also want to mention, thanks for the high degree of objectivity when comparing modes of transport, especially for trolleybuses, where in recent years their various disadvantages have been deliberately pushed out of the spotlight and are preferred by ideology among politicians and activists, etc.

    There is an interesting aspect to consider: within the Soviet Union, there was basically no central funding for urban transportation; it was expected for a long time, that the city's transportation be profitable and pay for itself through fares. Until the mid-1970's, many were (in the 1960's, some urban transport departments sometimes had profit margins over 50% and income was used to fund other municipal services), but because the fares were fixed, and costs increased, the actual profitability eventually declined, and, by the late 1970's, various schemes to subsidise transportation enterprises were under consideration due to a crisis as the transport departments faltered. The falling rate of profit made many transportation enterprises struggle to fund new rolling stock, maintenance and of course, new construction; sort of like the Soviet space program, the internal logic was closer to a competitive market.

    12:51 I know you are mostly talking about Central Europe, but I can't miss mentioning one extremely odd and impressive oddity from the East. While ussr wasn't really investing in trams as you mentioned and smaller cities that had them decided to remove them, there is a small-ish town of Konotop in North-East of Ukraine that got their tram in 1949 when their population was just around 45k. The construction was approved by central planing committee nor it had anything to do with city plan. Locals just really wanted tram and they built it themselves from leftover materials in few months by about 3k persons. There were a lot of construction violations, improper materials etc etc but in the end they opened it and central government just had to deal with it to not cause town-wide outrage. Despite the odds it is still continues to work to this day and was expended over the years, and is the smallest tram network in the country (town has around 88k population nowdays, though dropping)

    Adding a bit of speculation on the use of trolley busses instead of trams, both have electric engines, but trolley busses have more friction with the road and are better in hilly areas. From the list of cities that use trolley busses, it sounds that they were put into use and/or remained in use the longest in such cities.

With this layout it has one more junction and would disturb the flow of the big main road. I am not a city planer or have any idea about it, but i life in east germany and i have often seen it that the parking areas and side roads are coming from other side roads. Some small things that bother me and may be wrong from my side, but still the best thing in whole KZread. ❤ PS: And after i watched the whole Video i have comment that i curently life in a city with trolley buses. Didnt even know Germany had some. Thought that there were some old tram wires before i saw the first bus. 😄

    A little comment to YaTB trolley buses: "Made between 1937 and 1938, Poland" and "Imported in 1938, USSR". YaTB (ЯТБ) means "Ярославский ТроллейБус", "Yaroslavl trolley bus", and they're made in Yaroslavl, USSR, from 1935 (YaTB-2 from 1937 to 1938), and, of course, cannot be imported _to_ USSR, but obviously exported _from_ USSR to Poland, after WW2

    Long live Cities Skylines 1...the original game is still by the far the superior game because of all the assets and mod's which have made this game something that it could have never been without the modder's and community assets creator's and we all know that It's going to take at least a year or two before the second game even begins to approach what can be done with the first game assets and mod's. So yeah I'm still going to be playing Cities Skylines 1 for many more years and yeah I'll wait until Cities Skylines 2 becomes more mature and develop by the community assets creator's and modder's before purchasing...👉💯👈 plus I don't believe that I should have to pay 90 dollars to be a beta tester for the developer's, if anything they should be paying all of us for make their ideas come to a level that is should have been upon release of Cities Skylines 2.......👉💯👈

    in conclusion: if any of you should build a Soviet city or Russian or communist block (big enough as much as Altengrad) don't forget about also add the trolleybus network as well as the classics Tatra T-3 tram! trolleybus models are available on steam workshop!😆 (Are missing only the MTB-82 e the ZIU-5s). If they economic resources of your city virtual socialist they allow it also create a network of subway. Always on steam workshop are available some vestibules of the Moscow and St. Petersburg subways!😌😉👍🏻 Unfortunately i Soviet trolleybuses are missing on transport fever 2!😞 We should improve the contact line about that game. Let's hope that i trolleybuses will be also introduced on Cities Skylines 2!😆 (Maybe with one mechanics of construction of flexible network as construction the streets)😉

    I remember hearing or reading somewhere that wide main streets were required by regime to allow for two tanks to pass each other in case one tank got destroyed or broke down. Supposedly that's why they did it for first and the additional throughput for cars was only afterthough/ aftereffect. Not sure if it's truth tho.

    Seems unlikely as wide streets were part of urbanist theories/were built even before ww2. Also, a tank is not *that* wide so two can't fit side by side on a normal main street.

    So in every Soviet city and the every major city of the socialist block he owned at least A trolleybus network. Every state of socialist bloc he owned one own factory of construction of trolleybus models. USSR. MTB-82 ZIU-5 ZIU-9 Hungary Ganz Ikarus Czechoslovakia: Tatra Skoda Romania: DAC Poland: Jelcz. East Germany: Lowa Some Ikarus280 they were reconverted by trolleybus for the trolleybus network of Budapest, with Ganz, in the early 90s. (that's model it's present also in Cities in Motion as well as up Cities Skylines). in the USSR instead the same trolleybuses ikarus-280 and 18 meter ikarus-283T were built from SVARZ (Moscow)from 1988 to 1992 (but only for internal soviet trollnetworks). A trolleybus Ganz-ikarus280 he even came exported to North Korea, as well as for East Germany trolleybuses networks.
