The quality of the footage is impressive.

[@K.B.Williams]

Very impressive 👍

[@TheIldebrandoz]

The quality is indeed impressive, but it's important to note that this video is not the original from 1919. The original footage was black and white, and it didn't have sound, as audio recording technology didn't exist at the time. What you see here has been digitally processed using advanced algorithms to add color and improve visual quality. Additionally, the sound you hear was added later through sound design, so it doesn't come from the original footage. It's still a great restoration work, but it should be seen as a modern reconstruction.

I'm a german who moved to this city in 2019. I decided to stay here and each year I fall in love with this place even more.

[@provocase]

@@darthputinsmouthpiece1059 No, we weren't. Not even remotely. Yes, other people (volkeren) traded slaves also - including African people. But that doesn't relinquish one single bit from the fact we (Dutch) traded slaves and made a huge profit from slavery for some 250 years. Not to mention slave labour itself, which was common practise on all (Dutch owned) plantations in our (Dutch) colonies in the (Dutch) West-Indies - you know, the Carribean: Suriname, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius & Saba. It was THE business model for making huge profits for Dutch companies in our (Dutch) part of the Carribean. So no, we didn't just "transport" them. We bought them ourselves, transported them, sold them to anyone who wanted to buy them from us, and exploited them ourselves too, in every possible concievable way. There might have been no slaves in our motherland, back home, in our little windy corner in the North-West of Europe, but there certainly was slavery in our colonies, in our own (Dutch) territories back then, under Dutch law, for some 250 years... and all those businesses were Dutch owned (by "decent", God fearing, Dutch, white, christian, people - in case you're still miscomprehending the issue here, Slim & Rijk). So get your own national history straight and right, so that all the suffering of countless innocent people might not have been in vain. Own your own history, Slimpie. Own it, like a real man (or woman... or whichever denomination you prefer)! Own it!

I absolutely see your point and I love that too, especially since I was born in this city, or rather, in a small village a couple of miles west of Groningen that has been part of Groningen since the late 60's. Unfortunately though, during the liberation of Groningen in 1945 a lot of the buildings you see here were shot to pieces. War does that 😢. For Rotterdam, also a Dutch city, it was far worse though: that city was deliberately bombed to force us into surrender in the second world war and they had to build literally the whole city all over again. I don't know however, maybe that also adds to the history in it all...

They don't show the houses and neighbourhoods from the poor people. Only rich people could effort leather shoes, poor people had wooden clogs only. Poor people stayed in their neighbourhoods because they didn't had a reason to go to the center because they didn't had money or time to go to the center.

@Habemus Haider First of all, I don't like your tone to me. I am Dutch myself and know exactly what I am talking about and I also have been told about the history of poverty from my own family. It was the time in the Netherlands that " if you were born for a dubbeltje (10 cent coin) you"ll never became a kwartje (25 cent coin) . If you were born poor, you had to work your ass off, making long days for just a little money. Poor families took their children from school as early as allowed to work in factories and on farms just to be able to fill hungry stomachs. Girls were house maids or farm maids and only coming home at sunday to give their salary to their parents. The poor people were often living with one family in one room with no bed for everyone. The rich people had villa's and the rich women didn't do anything else then going to visit eachother and do embroidery. Poor girls from age 13+ were working hard to clean the villa's and to serve them meals and tea. It was like that in the Netherlands still in 1950! My mom was a maid in that time herself. My grandfather made long days in a factory, very hard work. My mother remembered that her father was sometimes so exhausted coming home, that he hardly could lift his feet anymore. Actually I was the first generation who got all the chances to study, based on capability, even though my family was in the past a labour class. Before all the clever poor children didn't had the chance to study at all!

Beautiful view of my town, excellent work! I believe many historic buildings are much older than we're told.

[@stephani1972]

Absolutely and I don’t know if you’re just being demure or if you actually know yet, but you could start digging by looking up Tartaria. Great Tartary. Grand Tartary. That will open up your eyes to the fact of that they were G-enocided/ erased for one thing & also, their awareness / genius of architecture, use of Frequencies & F⚡️ree E⚡️nergy. Which is the reason structures/architecture like this in every city on this planet were burned, bombed, and stormed. The real reason for every war.

Same!

I am curious too. However, this video was shot during the 1918 influenza pandemic (Spanish flu; February 1918 to April 1920; Wikipedia). I think I have had enough pandemics for now. ;-)

Another way to tell it's real: genuine horse poop in the streets (watch the bicyclist at 1:21) steer around the poop pile). Those were the good ol days

Apparently, no cars there in 1919. Compare with Portland in 1917! Just subscribed to this fascinating channel, waiting for a restored video from Vienna/Austria. It's my home town...

[@TheUncleWhoTried]

At 6:30 you can see a truck parked on the side of the road near some wagons but other than that I couldn't see any other automobiles.

[@elias7748]

Well Portland would have made cars affordable for plenty of upper middle class Americans by 1917, unlike most European cities. And who knows, that Portland video might have very well been a commercial for cars.

In alle eerlijkheid als hobby fotograaf vraag ik me af hoever we moeten gaan met dit soort technieken om oud filmbeeld materiaal te bewerken. Dat gezegd hebbende, is dit wel een van de beste resultaten die ik tot nu toe gezien heb. Graag zou ik ook het originele onbewerkte beeldmateriaal willen zien...

[@MyMotorcycleObsession]

Amazing... This is what it's like when there are no cars, no cell phones, no computers and no television. My city looked like this once, I was walking down the street one evening and the power went out. Everyone came out from in front of their TV and came out of their houses and started wandering around LOL. It's interesting they all wore suits and dresses, and hats to keep the rain off their heads. These days you can live in a crowded neighborhood and never meet your neighbor, we go from our car to our living room in front of a TV or computer. And who needs a hat these days LOL. Makes me wonder what it will be like in another 100 years.
