[4K] Walking through Western Germany - Wuppertal City Tour on a Cloudy Day

[@cengeb]

All those individual blocks for the walk ways, one piece at a time, in perfect shape and order, that is a lot of work!

[@PianistStefanBoetel]

The architecture around the train station is really cool! 2:23 And the Schwebebahn, too! 😍🤩😃☀️👍💪😌😂

[@JapanPotato]

The Schwebebahn used to be less smooth back then when I took it for the first time 12 years ago. I wish could go back in time to film it 😂

[@JanThranberend1990]

Yes we have new trains since 3 years. The main station is new too. I think you will remember it 12 years ago. It was really ugly.

[@JapanPotato]

Jan Thranberend Yes, the train station back then was horrible, and what I remember was there was an 1 Euro Döner, which some people I know from Wuppertal nicknamed “Rattendöner”, so hilarious.

Thanks for this video. Wuppertal is really amazing. One of the most underrated city in Europe. This city was the founder of industrialisation in Europe. One of the most rich an innovative city in the German Kaiserreich. Bigger as Dusseldorf or Essen or Dortmund. Still today the city with the biggest green areas and the biggest area of villages quarters in Germany. And an amazing culture scene. Many records conning from Barmen and Elberfeld. CNN awarded Wuppertal as one of the most interesting places to visit in the world in 2020.!

Wuppertal! This city is important for me because the choreographer Pina Bausch was based here. Very cool. Always enjoy watching your videos. Looking forward to the next one! : )

[@JapanPotato]

Thanks again for walking with me here! :) Yea, Wuppertal is famous for Pina Bausch and also the public transportation Schwebebahn(Monorail), which I filmed separately. Also, for people who have never been there, the main station used to be totally different to what it is now. I was actually mind blown on how much it changed. Wish I could have filmed it last time when I went there (around 2010), it’s really shocking. You should take a look at the old station on KZbin(search for Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof), you won’t believe your eyes.

[@AmbientWalking]

@@JapanPotato Wow! The difference is incredible!

[@AmbientWalking]

@@JapanPotato BTW, I've met Bausch once, and even shook her hand. That was sublime.

[@JapanPotato]

Wow, that must have been such a great moment. So glad that you have this memory.

[@JapanPotato]

Yea, it was very dark, had a long tunnel full of graffiti before. They somehow got rid of the whole existing structure and made it such a beautiful, nicely structured station now. Unbelievable..

[@MrFusselig]

OH MEIN GOTT! Was ist passiert? Ich glaube mein Kopf explodiert gleich! Als ich das letzte Mal am Wuppertaler Hauptbahnhof war, da sah das noch ganz anders aus. Aber vollkommen anders. Ich erkenne den Hauptbahnhof überhaupt nicht wieder. Und wo kommt der Primark auf einmal her? Das ist ganz neu für mich. Wann ist das alles passiert? Wann war ich denn zuletzt da? Das Café Extrablatt bei 7:48 rechts im Bild wo ich mich mal zum Brunch mit Freunden getriffen habe gibt es aber noch. :) Das war... 2009 oder 2010

[@JapanPotato]

Hahaha 😂 das war bei mir genauso! Das letzte Mal als ich dort war ist bestimmt schon mindestens 10 Jahre her gewesen und da sah der Bahnhof sehr sehr heruntergekommen, grau, vollgesprayt aus. Der jetzige Bahnhof hat mich wirklich umgehauen! 😂 einfach der Wahnsinn! habe noch ein zweites Wuppertal Video bei dem ich im Bahnhof noch eine kurze Runde drehe. Das mit dem Primark hat mich auch verwundert. Ich glaube es ist alles in den letzten paar Jahren entstanden. Bei mir war das letzte mal 2007 glaube ich, an Weihnachten 🎄

[@MrFusselig]

@@JapanPotato Ich weiß ganz sicher, dass ich 2014 noch einmal in Wuppertal war, im Frühjahr, aber nur in Vohwinkel, ich glaube wir sind nicht bis zum Hauptbahnhof gefahren damals.

[@JanThranberend1990]

Das wurde alles in den letzten 5-10 Jahren umgebaut. Es wurde viel Zeit und Geld investiert und es hat sich gelohnt. So sieht unser Portal zur Stadt endlich mal gut aus, Im Gegensatz zu der alten Unterführung.

Maybe it is fine for a Visit but when you life there for your whole life it just sucks ^^ There is way too much going wrong, sadly, it could be so nice :( Have you been at the Toelleturm? The view from there is rly nice ^^ And I hope you enjoyed your stay.

Thanks for commenting! I didn’t know that life sucks in Wuppertal :( From an outsider view it looks quite nice and peaceful. I enjoyed my stay! I haven’t been to Toelleturm but I’ll visit NRW in a month or so again and will definitely do another Wuppertal video, where I’ll check out the Toelleturm. If you’ve any other recommendations I would highly appreciate your insider feedback.

@@JapanPotato yes, I was thinking of Luisenviertel, mainly the back part of it. We don't really have a lot of old buildings left, most of our town was bombed during the war. I forgot, there is one part of Wuppertal that is worth seeing.

Relativ ordentliche Präsentation der Wuppertaler (Elberfeld) City. Aber: Alles wäre allerdings noch deutlich besser gewesen, wenn die Lichtverhältnisse gestimmt hätten. Besser noch, ein sonniger Sommertag. Und zu einem Video-Spaziergang durch die Wuppertaler City gehört auch das Luisenviertel mit dem Laurentiusplatz und der dortigen Basilika. Stattdessen wenig attraktive Bilder z.B. vom Gemüsehändler Spillmann am Kirchplatz.

[@weltgeschehen8400]

Where is your education... In Germany we have a citizin-based approach that defines who is German and who not. Mostly you can apply for citizinship after 8 years of working here. If you are born in Germany you get automatically German citizinship. If your parents are foreigners you get two citizinships of which you have to renounce one as an adult. I wonder: What's the purpose of your comment? Seed hostility? Values like decency and dilligence are important and they appear independently from skin colour.

[@weltgeschehen8400]

@Q-Team It's a dreamy wish just to call people Germans who follow the constitution. The care taker Nils H who killed over 100 elderly was German himself and will stay German even if we like him to be sent on Mars. I agree with you that the law must apply in full extent to everybody no matter which background. In that respect criminal justice tends to be too soft and incoherent in Germany.
