  • Time travel back to Magnificent Berlin 1890-1900s like you have never seen it before. After 1900 Berlin became a major world city, known for its leadership roles in science, the humanities, music, museums, higher education, government, diplomacy and military affairs. It also had a role in manufacturing and finance.

      Wenn ich mir die meisten Leute heute anschaue, in kaputten Jeans oder einfach ohne Stil und Chic in Turnschuhen und Jogginghose...da hat sich vieles geändert in 120 Jahren.
      Auch waren die Städte insgesamt sauberer und gepflegt, heute sind die großen Städte schmutzig, mit besprühten Wänden, die Laternen voll Aukleber. Alles so verwahrlost und runtergewirtschaftet. Schade um unser Land, das mal wirklich großartig gewesen ist.

      Contrary to clichés, the German emperor long resisted the pressures of Austria and Hungary as well as his own generals and tried his personal negotiations with the Tsar and the British to avoid the military conflict. Although in the end Wilhelm signed the German mobilization order under strong pressure from his generals, he was enraged and told them: "You will regret this, gentlemen." Likewise, he opposed his generals secretly sending Lenin and Trotsky to Russia to overthrow the authorities there. He said it would be disastrous for Europe. It is also worth reading the timeline of events concerning World War I to understand that this conflict did not depend on the decisions of one man. The war investments of France and Russia were many times higher and done much earlier than those of Germany. This conflict was desired by many countries (especially the politicians) in Europe, although no one realized what destructive momentum it would take.
      Starting point: 28 June Assassination in Sarajevo (Austria accuses Serbia of complicity).
      June/July - France hosts Serbian military representatives and shows them support.
      June/July - Political tension between Austria-Hungary, France, and Russia.
      July 5 - Germany support for Austria-Hungary.
      20-23 July - Visit of the French government in Russia in preparation for the war.
      23 July - Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia.
      24 and 25 July - Russian military guaranties for Serbia.
      25 July - Serbian mobilization order.
      26 July - Austro-Hungarian partial mobilization against Serbia.
      28 July - Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia.
      29 July - Artillery shelling of Belgrade by Austro-Hungarian gunboats.
      29 July - The British Cabinet agrees to the preventive mobilization of the fleet.
      29 July - Russian partial mobilization.
      30 July - Russian general mobilization.
      31 July - Austrian and Belgian general mobilization.
      31 July - German ultimatums to Russia to cease mobilization and to France to declare neutral.
      August 1 - Order for general mobilization in France (3:55 p.m.) France staff’s strategic positions on the border with Germany and Belgium.
      August 1 - In reaction to the mobilizations in France, Germany also announces mobilizations (5 p.m.).
      August 1 - After the ultimatum time ends, Germany declares war on Russia, which sends troops towards Austria-Hungary.
      August 1 - Mobilization of the Royal Navy (Britain confiscates the new battleships completed for the Ottoman Empire)
      August 2 - German preventive invasion of Luxembourg and ultimatum to Belgium. Belgium rejects the ultimatum.
      August 2 - The British Cabinet decides that the Royal Navy will protect the French coast and intervene in the event of a violation of Belgian neutrality.
      August 3 - Germany declares war on France, German troops invade Belgium.
      August 3 - Mobilization of the British Army and British ultimatum to Germany.
      August 3 - The Ottoman Navy begins mining the Dardanelles.
      August 4 - Britain declares war on Germany
      And so on…

It was very informative, partly to dismiss suppositions that the Kaiser was a warmonger, when in fact he was under severe pressure elsewhere, and secondly the wonderfully detailed timeline you gave,.

    - put them in historical order and after that maybe themed. Than you can show developments
    - use music from the period or something neutral. modern folk and jazz really conflict with the imagery, which means losing a lot of the historical sensation.
    - do your homework and correct colours after the software has run

    When yoiu see such clear pictures colourised like this you get a much heightened sense that people in the past were very much like us, mainly concerned with day to day things and whilst they did not all enjoy the same living standards that most of us in Europe do now, they still felt happiness, sadness joy and grief as we do now.
    I was especially interested by the photo showing the crowd of people on the day WW1 was declared. In that one photo you have silly immature boys thinking about the supposed glories of war, you have older men who look rather less happy - perhaps they had been in wars before and had a better idea of the horrors to come and you have apprehensive mothers who knew their sons were likely to be off to war very soon and a whole range of reactions - just as there would be today when a war is declared.
    THis is a superb collection. Thank you for the enormous amount of work you have obviously put into it.

    What a great city . It seems to be a very relaxed and joyfull place prior world war one, the heart of Preussen glory was beating there but also very international.

    Thank you. This is one of the few colorized photo collections that I really like. I am of German/Polish descent and love how clean the air must have been, even with the type of engines that they had back then. People must have loved color in clothing along with the glitzy faux gold decorations made from brass and bronze. Sad to see how much the wars impacted this part of the world and history. The smiles were going to go away from the inhabitants of the former Prussian empire.

      Its not the engines, its the coal dust from the ofens heating all the building, which led to layers of black dust on the buildings decades later..

    • @chriscarol4965
      @chriscarol4965 Před rokem +1

      The air in the timeframe shown in the pictures certainly has been the worst ever. First cars, heavy industrialization, heating with coal, lots of animal droppings in the street, no proper waste water systems established in major parts. It was definitely no clean air back then!

    • @alileevil
      @alileevil Před rokem +1

      The air wasn't clean at all. Firewood and coal were primarily used and back then none of the particles were removed from the smoke.

    A great video and a wonderful insight into those times. Of the Friedrichstrasse Bahnhof of 1900 with Its' wonderful single arch, now replaced during the Soviet period with two squalid little arches; I weep for the loss, so much magnificence and beauty disappeared during the first and second world wars, Berlin in those earlier years was a wonderful achievement, John, Historian.

    It looks like that even then Berlin had more infrastructure than any other major city, and way more of the riding was done by cars which look more advanced than anywhere in the early 1900s.

    When Western civilization made automobiles, we were reading old books made 1,000 years ago. We valued farming more than science and technology and looked down on merchants. The civilization we enjoy today comes from the West. Respect Western civilization.

    Ich muss leider eine Korrektur angeben: Das Gebäude, welches bei 4:35 Min. gezeigt wird, ist nicht die Alte Nationalgalerie. Dieses Foto ist der U-Bahnhof Kaiserhof am Wilhelmplatz. Das Gebäude war die ehemalige Ritterschafts-Direktion in der Mohrenstraße 66. Gegenüber befand sich das Hotel "Kaiserhof" (hier nicht mehr im Bild). Siehe dazu auch das Bild bei 10:32 Min: Dort ist die Alte Nationalgalerie abgebildet.

    Excellent photos. The city was showing all the signs of modernity. The Underground subway was in place as well as the elevated portions. Touring type motorcars had made their debut and the citizens seemed content & prosperous.
    I kept thinking how years later it was all bombed to dust, the cast of characters completely changed but then the pulverized city was rebuilt from scratch. Happy times are only a moment in time but then so are bad times.

    As I was these pictures roll, two thoughts quickly came to mind. One, people are people no matter where they’re from or the time they lived. They looked like happy people, like you might find anywhere. Hell, they could be a neighbor. My second thought was about WWI. Most of these pics were taken just a few years before the outbreak. Millions died as a result and beautiful cities, towns were completely destroyed... it must be easy to send others to die, but in the end, for what? There must be lots and lots of money to be made during, after wars for a select few. The only thing left for everyone else is heartbreak. Thank you for sharing these wonderful gems!

    I kept thinking of my grandfather (1861-1940) who at age 20 was smart enough to leave the city for America, he didn't want to be drafted into the Prussian army. And my wife's father, 1906-86, just made it out in early 1939. If those people in the pictures only knew what was coming...maybe today we're lucky not to know either!

    It amazes me that people did not know Germany was very advanced in 1910. It was arguably the most advanced nation on Earth then. Its scientific, artistic, philosophical knowledge was second to none. German professors are responsible for so much of what we call modern academia and pharmaceuticals. The list of German Nobel Prize winners between 1900-1920 is rather long: 21. In contrast, the US had 5, and the UK 10.
