It is really interesting to see the ruins of the second Christiansborg Palace at 11:35 it burned down in 1884 and stood as a ruin for 23 years until they built the third christiansborg which stands today
Yes, it looks awesome! I live in the Öresund region, on the Swedish side, and have been to Copenhagen many times, - the footage both here and in its sister video from around 1920 is beautifully restored, a real joy to watch!🌷🌷🌷😀
Amazing. 11:18 you see the Christiansborg Castle still is a ruin after the last fire in 1884, before it was rebuilt. 02:33 Love the scene where a man falls with his bike and another man from the store rushes out and picks it up.
Foley artists work in film to bring the same FX. At its best, it's actually quite a skill. There are interesting videos on how it's done you might enjoy.
Thank you so much for the fantastic re-work of these old films. It give a complete different impression of the time compared to the black and white original. And the sounds are really bringing life to the scenery. One litle detail about Denmark for your kind information. Danish steam locos never had a two tone whistle :-)
Let's make sure we have return tickets, tho. Be a pity to get stuck anywhere. Lol seems that's a Ray Bradbury story I'm forgetting. Happy trails to you.
Love your content! I’d be so cool to be able to watch these awesome vids side by side in modern times and see how much the world has changed. Thank you for sharing amazing history with us! ❤
Many thanks! The boats and the harbor scene remind me of _The Riddle of the Sands_ published about that time and on a sailboat along the German coast not far away.
J'adore passer un moment à regarder ce genre de vidéos. De ralentir leurs mouvements pour être réaliste. D'ajouter de la couleur et du son. D'ailleurs la piste de son roule en boucle à certains moments car nous entendons le même gars parler "de la gate". Lol Bon travail quand même.
Interesting video for sure. There are many flags in the video, for instance at 5:59, and they would all most for certain be red and white. Danes love their flag "Dannebrog". Displays the limitations and shortcomings of the current digital colorization techniques.
Although we see red as a bright color, on black & white film it typically looks dark, hence these black (or dark blue) with a white cross flags. As I watched, I asked myself, "Does anyone really have a flag with such somber colors?"
Another remarkable film restoration. With a little bit of imagination, it's almost as if you were there... how much more gentle life must have ben in those days. And, what a marvel... not a single automobile in sight !

It’s fantastic to be able to see Denmark like this. Great work 😊 I’m guessing the colouring process is done by an AI and that That is why our flag has turned swedish 😁
@@vicmac3513 try again.. Denmark is the oldest flag on the globe, Sweden is more a miixmach between partly old Denmark and partly old russia... Denmark also the oldest kingdom. streathing back to year 500 according to the papers from Ravenna Italy who mapped northen Europe in that era.. and mention talks about the danish kingdom in the north in the 4 to 500 century. though both England, and Sweden, and Norway and good part of Germany and france were danish, and part of the kingdom of Denmark. also why you see english cities that ends on "by" like Derby, as "by" meens city in danish. even the name of York & Yorkshire is from Denmark.. it comes from "Yorvik/Jorvik" the Viking Mueseum in York have an interresting display about it. (can likely also be found on their homepage "Jorvik Viking Center" a huge english study from late 2022 actually showed like 41% of the current english genepool comes from old danish norse and earlier then previous thought, where it previously was though it came partly from the danish vikingera and back when England was called "DaneLaw" region and part of the kingdom of Denmark, but the extensive UK study on old human remains' showed it was way earlier and year 200 and 300. Source "The Anglo-Saxon migration and the formation of the early English gene pool" In France it was the northen region around Normandiet and the reason for the naming..
I was thinking the opposite, especially knowing what was ahead of them (the Spanish Flu, the stock market crash, both world wars, the holocaust, etc.). They also had no internet, no TV, no cars or public air transportation, and surgeons didn't wash their hands.
About the colors. I believe at 5:30 it is (yellow) bananas hanging from the parade wagon and the flags are danish - so they should be red with a white cross. However, I understand the great work that has been put into the film, and I am VERY thankful that such material is available.
Everybody was wearing a hat or a cap or a bonnet...even the very young children had headgear. What a difference a century makes. P.S. The woman running down the steps at 2:04 disappeared from history like a puff of smoke.
I apologize if this has already been asked, but what causes the jerky movement of vertical lines (like posts, towers, etc.) from left to right? Is this an artificate of the film to video conversion process? It is only noticeable in a few of the film clips.
Very interesting, but the coloring should have been done with more care: All these blue flags with a white cross should actually be red with a white cross - the Danish national flag! This actually makes me notice that there is a funny absence of red in the whole movie! Is that maybe a more common technical problem when coloring old black and white films?
Interesting how you see the ruins of the old parliament, Christiansborg Palace (the rebuilt building is also known as "Borgen" in the series). On that same boat ride today, you see the ruins of the old stock exchange, next to the now rebuilt parliament, as half of it burnt down recently. A tragedy as it was one of the oldest buildings in Denmark, and one of the oldest stock exchanges in the world. But on this film, the stock exchange is exactly as before - and it touches the heart to see it here (look for the spire, that has now disappeared).
Very good. The ruins are Christiansborg, which burned down in 1884, but for political reasons had to wait over 20 years for a rebuild. The vintage building with the spiral spire, seen at 10:57 just before Christiansborg, is Børsen from 1620. This neighbor sadly burned in the spring of 2024 and the northern part towards the 'borg' now stands in similar ruins. The other neighbor with the flat dome, Christiansborg Slotskirke, a church, was taken by flames in 1992, but now stands proudly again. All in all the film captures an atmosphere that (if you look closely) lives on to this day. But yes, our flag, Dannebrog, is red & white - and is said to be the oldest national flag in the world.
Fantastiske optagelser. Jeg synes dog der er en stor mangel på røde farver i disse film. Ikke mindst de scener, hvor Dannebrog er vist, hvor den røde farve fremstår helt sort. Jeg er ikke imponeret over kvaliteten af disse scener.
@@jesperolsen8727 Yes, when Norway became independed they choose the younger brother of the current Danish king - he accepted only after a public vote was held.
Når I nu gør sådan et stort arbejde så er det virkelig uforståelig at hastigheden øges i en grad så det ser unaturligt ud. Jeg ser det på 0,75 speed og så passer det nogenlunde. Hvad er lige hensigten med det den øgede hastighed om jeg må spørge? Det gavner da ikke nogen.
Amazing footage. Great to see Denmark the way it was. These people knew who they were and were proud of their heritage. Nothing was handed to them on a silver platter. They strove for a better life and prospered. Everyone earned their daily bread except those who truly could not. There was civility, kindness, and human respect. There was Christian charity, love, and compassion. This was the civilized world pre-1914. We need to get back to the old way of life and its values. GOD SAVE THE WEST!
Very nice, yet the opening street scenes were know doubt Stockholm, given the Swedish names of shops, signs and posters. The AI did an amazing job. To think I used to color negatives and black and white shots for a living!
Native of Copenhagen here. Watching this i feel like everything has changed and nothing changed at the same time.
My grandfather left Copenhagen for New York in 1910. I kept scanning the faces in this film to see if he might have appeared. Fascinating footage!
Could be the one who fell of his bike (at round 2 minutes and 30 seconds in), right outside the bike repair shop, which I guess was the perfect place to have an accident. 😁
@@agffans5725 It must be him. Its the man wearing a hat and darkish clothes, right? So easy to recognize.
Maybe his father and mother are there?

My great grandparents lived in Copenhagen at that time. Interesting to watch what they saw. Very connecting for me.
It is really interesting to see the ruins of the second Christiansborg Palace at 11:35 it burned down in 1884 and stood as a ruin for 23 years until they built the third christiansborg which stands today

I really like your comment and found it very educational
interesting
Yes - and now it's Børsen which is a ruin due to the fire in april 2024
i live in Copenhagen and its so cool seeing this old fottege as i so often drive thise places on my bike.
This remastering work is amazing...it must be a joy for those creating the past in such a way
Thank you :) But it also takes quiet some time

Amazing. 11:18 you see the Christiansborg Castle still is a ruin after the last fire in 1884, before it was rebuilt.

@5:47 - shouldnt the flags on the wagon have been red? ie Dannebrog?
The colorization involves some automatic steps, so it is not perfect.
How is this possible? This must be one of the earliest video cameras ever.
1888, first video look it up
it’s a film, not a video
Even the bicycle bells sound higher quality than today
...and this is how people shopped they went walking and look at the windows and then if they wanted they went in the store and looked around......
This is the way people do shop today, 2023. Nothing has changed in that way. Well, a lot shop from home online too.

Doesn't look much different from today. Biggest difference are the clothes, horses and the many boats in the harbour.
