Groningen, Netherlands in 1919 - Restored Footage

[@Diajinn]

All those souls that have lived and passed we never even knew existed if not for this footage. Amazing work

[@Theothesleeper]

Incorrect. I'm the man in the beginning. Yes, I know you're probably going to make fun of my age like the rest of the whippersnappers who find out how old I am, but let me tell you, there's nothing funny about it. So what if I'm 180. I enjoy things just like you do. Like eating cheerios with horse milk and a giant wooden spoon. Normal things.

[@Diajinn]

@@Theothesleeper hahaha clever. U get a thumbs up from a time traveler 100+ years in the future.

[@nemo4evr]

@@Diajinn and @Theodorussingachorus Hey you two, this is the temporal patrol, you know the rules about visiting timelines so shush and keep a low profile.

[@Theothesleeper]

​@nemo4evr you got it. would you care for some horse milk and a werthers original?

[@chrisbeckwith6716]

Exactly 😊

[@jasonagenda3638]

This is such a treasure to even see this 100+ year old footage. Thank you.

[@dao8805]

Everything about this video is amazing, the original camera work, the way the footage has been restored and colorized, the completely candid and unpretentious slices of the daily lives of the people who never could have imagined they would be viewed on film more than a century into the future, the way they dressed, all of it is an extraordinary time capsule being opened before our eyes. Thank you so much for this longer video. I could watch this for hours.

[@georgesunday9855]

The clarity of the restoration makes it look like a film shot recently with precise attention to period details. But knowing otherwise gives it an almost eerie feeling watching it, as though we stepped back in time.

[@Peaceshiet812]

My thoughts exactly, like looking at a beautifully made film , and then realising it’s real ❤

[@DarkCrystal777]

Beautifully said. It's simply captivating.

[@Shaughn-pk3pe]

I agree with you! Congratulations Rio-Brazil

[@heulveul4075]

This is my city, I know for sure that my great grandfather Herman has known at least some of these people. He was a clothier at the end of the 'Ebbingestreet' (beyond the 'Martini church' from the start of the film), he sold suits and all kinds of related men's clothing. Absolutely unreal to see this in colour. Incredible!

[@sparkbleu6]

I was born in 1986 and after 60 years from now everyone who was born in 1986 and before will be dead and buried under the ground... Unfortunately, this life is not worth all the fatigue we go through and all the worries, sorrows and problems... Frankly, after watching many of these videos, I have come to love the simple life and not work more than necessary and I love living in comfort and happiness because in the end, after 60 years, or maybe after a year or a month, I will be under the ground, and for this reason I set my goal to please God and obey Him to enter .we

I can’t put into words, the great work you do on this channel with the colorization work, to the music choices. You really open our eyes up to the past as if we’re in it and connecting with these great and beautiful souls of the past!

[@Zeus2024-pn2ht]

This is the closest I can get to time travel. Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@ibeetellingya5683]

It's like I am there looking through a window, as if I could say "Hello" and shake a hand. Absolutely amazing.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

I am 65. When I was young I knew a number of people of my great-grandparents’ and grandparents generation who were adults at the time this was filmed, one who was even almost 40, lived 1880-1985. My parents were born within 5 years of this film. So although it seems historic, there are people alive today who will have known some of these people. It’s not as long ago as you think. Yet while a lot of the fabric survives in buildings, town layout, furniture, art and culture etc. that society is gone with the wind, the world will never be like that again.

[@poc329]

All these people long gone. They all have a grave somewhere. WW2 was just around the corner & they will see the horrors again. We will never know how their lives panned out. God Bless them all.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

They were just months out from the Great War, the Second World War was 20 years away, but you can’t see any shadow of the former.

My dad was born in 1919. He would have recognized this world.

[@megan2176]

It's fascinating how humans never stop being fascinated by other humans, going about their daily lives. The shot from above, all the tiny people moving about, is something I still like doing when I'm in a hotel or high building. People are fascinating. ❤❤❤

[@Double_Dragon99]

We must thank those who brought these images to us. None of the people in the images are alive today. Their time is over, now is our time and we too will be gone. We must learn from this.

[@g-love0704]

I love how ppl would nudge each other or be looking in bewilderment at the camera back then

From the first shot of the street..i didn't realize they had drones back then😊

Not drones. Electrical connection for the tram lines. I thought that in those days they didn't have that possibility... or? 🤔

Amazing how the town hall building looks like it could have been newly built today. Classic recognizable design, but in a country so far away from me. Makes we wonder about architecture, and how they shared their designs back then...i guess books and newspapers, but just blows my mind. Same with clothing, they could easily have been in North America, designs were so similar. ❤❤❤

Notice the kids & young people are the only ones aware of what’s going on around them in the present moment, truly experiencing life - but the adults are in their own heads/ minds, thinking of/ distracted by things that are not in the present moment.

Filmagem restaurada de 1919 de uma viagem pela cidade de Groningen, na Holanda. O filme nos leva a várias ruas da cidade e à praça principal no centro, conhecida como “Grote Markt”. Vemos Oosterstraat, Herestraat, Grote Markt e outros locais não identificados em Groningen.

Thanks! Great job! I recognise the street and buildings, but is that an electrical connection line for the trams, above ? In those days they didn't have those types of electrical possibilities, I thought ! Can you explain, plse ? Sad that those people aren't of this earth anymore. 😢

Thanks for sharing... 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 There were movie cameras in 1919, and some of the most important models include: Mitchell 35mm Standard A Designed in 1919, this camera was used to film many early Hollywood movies and could be operated with a hand crank or electric drive. Bell & Howell 2709 Standard The first all-metal movie camera, released after filmmakers Martin and Osa Johnson lost their camera to termites and mildew. By 1919, most Hollywood productions used Bell & Howell equipment. Big Bertha Designed for use as a telephoto sports camera, this camera was used by the Baltimore News Post and Sunday American. It had a gear shift lever for quick lens focusing
