What is your opinion on Kaiser Wilhelm II?

My family had already been here 140 years, but we’re from Germany so the rest of my family still there from my father’s side. The crest you see in my profile is from Germany and from the same name, but I have modified it for myself. I stayed in Mannheim Germany for six weeks when I was in the Air Force. it really is a beautiful country and I like the people I met even though I can’t speak German. I’ve been all over the world and the country I like the least, is the one I defended for 22 years.

was für eine schöne Architektur, schöne alte Fotos

Ganz. Wunderbare Bilder,danke!

Die Nationalfarben des Deutschen Kaiserreiches, aus der die Fotos stammen, waren allerdings nicht Schwarz-Rot-Gold sondern Schwarz-Weiß-Rot. Schwarz-Rot-Gold waren die Farben Deutschlands erst in der Weimarer Republik. Schwarz-Weiß-Rot ist nicht "verboten", sondern historisch korrekt.

@dosterix6034

Ай бұрын

Es wurde allerdings erstmals vom Freikorps Lützow, was eine deutsche freiwillige Kampftruppe gegen Napoleon war, verwendet und dann in der Vormärz im Zuge der nationalen und liberalen Strömung wieder als Symbol für Einigkeit, Recht und Freiheit aufgegriffen. Es hat also in der Tat schon bevor diese Bilder gemacht wurden existiert. Wegen des Scheiterns der 48iger Revolution wurde es nach 1849 natürlich nicht mehr so richtig benutzt und später im Kaiserreich (woher all diese Bilder stammen) wurden die Farben der Flagge des Norddeutschen Bundes (schwarz weiß rot) übernommen.

Das mit den Superlativen ist halt immer so eine Sache. Die Photographie wurde etwa 1830/40 als Daguerrotypie erfunden und praxistauglich gemacht, kurz darauf begannen in ganz Europa Photographen mit ihren Kameras herumzureisen und Land und Leute aufzunehmen. Um 1900 war das Photographieren längst etabliert und als Postkarten und in Büchern erhältlich. Diese Aufnahmen sind zwar alt, aber bestimmt nicht die ältesten. Trotzdem interessant und schön anzusehen.

The picture you label as an electric car in Berlin in 1900 is a famous photography of Henry Ford in his Quadricycle, his first car. The single-cylinder gasoline engine is clearly visible as is the flywheel. The other photos are very evocative though a wider variety of cities would be an improvement.

How to conclusively and exhaustively refute modern architecture in 15 min.

The two buildings behind the Kaiser in the photo of the Tempelhofer Feld (9:13 into the video) are still there. They suffered minimal damage during the Battle of Berlin. The Soviets set up their headquarters about a block to the right of the second building. That probably saved them both. I have great memories of Berlin and that neighborhood in particular. I was stationed there in the USAF from 1990-1992. Tempelhof Air Base took up most of the old Tempelhof Central Airport, built on the field behind the Kaiser in this photo. Thank you for these treasures.

I think the 'Car Racing Start, Berlin 1900' at 5:21 - is actually (eg. see front of cars) the Automobile Club (of Great Britain & Ireland) Thousand Mile Trial, 1900 - and the location of the photo is London, most likely Grosvenor Place SW1, or another street surrounding Buckingham Palace grounds. ☺

Impressive! 😮

7:41 this image shows three Unteroffiziere (equivalent Corporal, the two kneeling in front and the man on the right) and four Schützen (none of those seem to have a Gefreiten-button on the collar) of the Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 106, a unit of the army of the Kingdom of Saxony. This unit was mobilised on August 2 1914. Given the little bouquets in the button line of many of these soldiers and the oldstyle uniforms, this picture was taken about that date, presumably after a parade in Wurzen, Borna or Glauchau after August 4. The history of the regiment can be accessed on the Website of the Saxon State Library SLUB.

9:42 This is a mantainance wagon for the electric overhead lines of the Frankfurt tram lines. It is the "Montagewagen 3" of the "Städtische Straßenbahnen".

If only there had not been any wars, the architectural beauty of this age would have remained so much more.

Germany of the 19th century was more than just the present day territory of the Bundesrepublik ! I could not help but notice that for some sinister reason there was not a single photograph at all from such German cities like Breslau, Danzig, Stolp , Königsberg, Stettin, Straßburg and yet at that time they were as much Germany as was Berlin , München, or Düsseldorf was , or is that today verboten to remember ? Only a fool would think that they can actually succeed in erasing history…….How about doing a series on photographs from those forgotten cities and how German they were at that time?
