The picturesque village of Volendam in the 1930s in color! [AI enhanced & colorized]

- Volendam is a fishing village on the former Zuiderzee in The Netherlands. Sinds this inner sea was enclosed by a 36 km dam called "De Afsluitdijk" in the 1930's the salt water has become sweet and the Zuiderzee became te IJsselmeer. This had a big impact on the fishing community. Fishing for eals and fresh water fish has now become their main activity. Other sources of income for Volendam used to be the cutting of reeds for the purpose of thatched roofs and other, but this practice has now almost gone.
It has always been a very close community where everbody knows each other and many inhabitants are somehow related to each other. The village is also famous in the Netherlands for its pop music bands like BZN, The Cats and Jan Smit. Because of the eal fishing, this type of music is called "De Palingsound" (the "eal sound").
As there are no cars visible in this film which could have given a clue about when the film was made; it is estimated to have been shot in the 1930's, but could be earlier. Any advise is welcome.
The original B&W footage was kindly provided by Niels Haneveld and subsequently restored, speed-corrected, A.I. enhanced and A.I. colorized.

Another wonderful film showing how people lived all that time ago. Everybody looked very happy and relaxed. It's true escapism watching these lovely films, thank you!
Wow and wow. Love this keep up with the hard work loving these videos they make my day
Faces and eyes expression are so deep... This channel is just one step before time machine! 🔝💙
And again, soundtrack is magic...
Thank you so much 😀

Ook alvast de beste wensen voor 2022. Hopelijk kan ik vroeg in 2022 mijn rolstoel vaarwel zeggen (bekkenfractuur).
@@Rick88888888 Nou dat wens ik je van Harte Rick 😀 👍🏽
It's another world.
How interesting were people then and how dull now.
All over the world
Wonderful work! Bonus: Saw a man NOT wearing wooden shoes! But the children, the children...💌
Amazing shots of the clothes and the wooden clogs...It makes you taller wearing clogs, those older guys wearing them... Fascinating footage, thanks...🤔😳😄🇬🇧
Hi Rick, beautiful video. Such varied expressions on the faces of the children. Some smiling at the camera, some solemn, some looking downright suspicious! A pleasure to watch. Thank you for your work in restoring these films. Best wishes to you and yours in 2022. ☘
Thank you very much! Best wishes to you too!
And the girls all wore those aprons and hats
Thanks for expressing my thoughts on this beautiful video busy bee.
@@genestatler2514 Thank you. Best wishes to you for 2022. B.☘
Wonderful!! I feel the world is slipping out of our grasp....
Beautiful. How sad many countries have lost their identity and traditions.
Wat mooi weer! Je krijgt het gevoel even terug in de tijd te zijn..!
Gosh, I visited the Past in a Dutch village.Amazing.
Beautiful! Stunning!
Beautiful. Those traditional costumes are so ubiquitous I'm not surprised you had difficulty in dating the film. I guess the few men not wearing the traditional clothes give a hint that it might have been the 1930s. There's a guy around the 3.00 minute mark wearing a light raincoat who looks 1930s or even 1940s.
I'd not seen those black conical hats that some of the young women were wearing before. Do they signify anything I wonder? Perhaps that the wearer was unmarried? Most of the other women seem to be wearing the distinctive white cap.
Mooie beelden ,vanuit Volendam word nog steeds heerlijke vis gevangen op zee dat vind ik ook nog steeds zo byzonder .
Such shots shake the mind. you understand that we are just pilgrims in this world. How complex, beautiful and fragile is this world))
Такие кадры потрясают сознание, и понимаешь, что мы всего лишь пилигримы в этом мире. Как же сложен, красив и хрупок наш мир)
Нет того мира. Вокруг икея и ашан
I love your videos, from a time gone by, it is wonderful these images that you offer us.
What a job it must be to bring back the old life so well.
Nostalgia, often poetic like here. CONGRATULATIONS👏🏼
Best wishes for 2022 from Switzerland🇨🇭
Glad you enjoyed it
Herrliches Bildmaterial, so dichte bei und doch wie von einem anderen Planeten. 👍
Amazing beautiful video and lovely music.
The world seemed so peaceful then.
Thank you again for sharing your remarkable skill.
Really enjoyed watching that.
What wonderful images, how interesting is our humanity and diverse our cultures.
Hauntingly beautiful video. I saw a woman who looked totally out of place. She must've been either a tourist or there on business.
For those who don't know, Volendam is/was a very closed city, the reason was that during the reform the city remained Catholic, but as it was located in the north it was surrounded by Protestant cities, Unlike other Catholic cities in the south of the Netherlands, being surrounded by hostile cities led to self-isolation (also the fact that the city sympathized with Spain in the eighty years War, It further fueled enmity with neighbors ).
Mooiiii fijne jaarwisseling en tot volgend jaar
Thank you for giving us a more realistic view into the past with your enhanced videos. Black & white with scars and offset film is great for the perfectionists, but to look through time, as with a magic screen, the color and AI adjustments make it appear as we are there with them. Since watching your videos, I have come to think of the past in a different, more realistic light. I personally remember the 1950's, but time takes away the first person views as we lived them.. even my memory tries to picture life then in B&W.
Thanks Rick.
It's so sad to see beautiful films like this of The Netherlands or France in the 1930s because you know what's coming down the road a few years later.
Incredibly moving and touching! Another opportunity to see peoples' lives in a bygone era. Every moment in this video was stunning . The girl smiling at 1:43 and the two girls at 2:15 are truly indelible images. Thank you for these wonderful films!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super, hoewel de kleuren van de kleding hier en daar niet echt klopt is het wel heel bijzonder om te zien hoe dit, gerestaureerd en gekleurd ineens veel "echter" en herkenbaarder is geworden. Helaas kan ik geen familie leden ontdekken. Maar super is dit wel!
Hallo, Weet je waarom de mannen in het zwart gekleed zijn met een baggy broek. Bedankt
It's not changed much. Still a lot of people dress like that today admittedly more for the tourists than for practical life, but the village is much the same today, still fishing.
Lovely place I used to go a lot for Sunday lunch when I lived in Purmerend and Alkmaar.
I was there as a 14 year old in 1976. I still have a picture of my Oma eating an ice cream next to a fully dressed woman. Great video of a bygone era.
Only tourists dress like that now. I've only seen an elderly woman with those clothes on once in my life and I've lived here for 19 years. The roads and the buildings are exactly the same though.
How beautiful to see this I have been there in my younger days.
Notice when the women are wearing black caps, that means that was a week day. On Sundays and Feastdays the more expensive withe caps were worn.
Great video Rick, beautiful work and footage 👍😀👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Спасибо Вам за ваш Труд!
Lovely Dutch you can tell by the wooden shoes
So awesome! Interesting outfits the women are wearing, same patterns . And those shoes are so cool, I wonder if they were hard to walk in or if they were slippery.😮😁
Prachtig, zo'n blik in het verleden 🙏🙏
Wel bedankt, dat is heel mooi !!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌
Love your work. Many thanks for your time.
Many thanks!
Wow Thank you !!
Incredible, thanks x
Amazing! I'm curious what building that is at 2:29
It's a church
The women’s hats were very strange back then. Good video buddy.👍🏼☮️
Thanks 👍
I visited Volendam about 20 years ago with my dad and we got smashed with very friendly locals in a cracking basement bar called ‘The Piano Bar’. Good times!
Beautiful ,amazing film.Thank you so much.,🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Wat aandoenlijk!
amazing footage, beautiful. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Ik vraag mij af of dit voor of na de afsluiting van de Zuiderzee (28 mei 1932) is geweest. Dat heeft een enorme impact op Volendam gehad. In het sanitair van de nieuwe jachthaven hangen mooie tableaus van het oude Volendam van voor de sluiting. Ik heb begrepen dat de vissers nooit de beloofde compensatie hebben gekregen….
That was amazing.
It was fascinating to see this slice of life from the recent past, with people going about their business in traditional clothing. Incidentally those cylindrical, slimy fish that I think you call paling in Dutch, are called eels in English, with two Es. I know you enjoy eating smoked eels in the Netherlands, whereas here in London in traditional pie and mash restaurants, they serve jellied eels.
At 0:37 These dudes make wooden shoes look cool.
Klompen are the bomb !
Another beautiful home run! 👍🌷
Thank you! Cheers!
Ziet er goed uit! Mooi gestabiliseerd, mooie muziekkeuze. Korrel onderdrukking is goed gelukt, upscaling en inkleuring redelijk. Apart om te zien op 1:35 hoe de stabilisatie vaststelt op het hoofd. Wat voor afspeelsnelheid heb je gekozen? 12-15fps lijkt mij geïnterpoleerd naar?
De uiteindelijke kwaliteit hangt altijd af van het bronmateriaal. A.I.'s kunnen geen details uit het niets toveren. De snelheid is tot 70% gereduceerd (dus uitgaande van 17 fps). De inkleuring kan beter, echter de maker van DeOldify ligt in bed met MyHeritage en heeft al meer dan 3 jaar geen nieuwe versie uitgebracht voor gewone stervelingen. Ook is er weinig vegetatie in de film. Groene bomen en struiken maken het altijd mooier.
Спасибо кино оператору за его труды ! Мы прикоснулись к истории !
Tks for posting ✔️
Erg mooi!! Heb je ook beeldmateriaal van Monnickendam?
Die heb ik inderdaad wel eens langs zien komen op dit kanaal.
Loved this, and just subscribed, thank you! Do you have any idea for what purpose or by who. The film was made?
Not that I know of
@@Rick88888888 thank you for replying!
GOOD VIDEO MY FREIND......THANK YOU FOR POSTING
Thanks for watching!
2:34 Is that a British/Canadian Airman at the background to the left? So it might be filmed during WWII?
Well spotted! There are some cars in the film that would also indicate the mid 1940s looking at their shapes.
Mooie beelden 👍
Schitterend!!!
Rick, if you go to the 0:53, you will see a small passenger car just below the white sheets hanging from the clothesline. It looks to be green and sits right in front of the small white house in the far right corner of the frame. That car may give you a firmer sense of the date of the film.
In that case it looks more like mid 1940s
@@Rick88888888, it's possible. My knowledge of automobiles is not that extensive that I could confirm the year, make or model just by looking. :)
Love this video
Красота!
A wonderfull fil buy I doubt its taken in the 1930s. The clothes and the card in the background suggests the film is dom the end of the 1940s or early 1950s.
You may be right. Someone spotted an American soldier near the church, so it could be 1945.
Mooi
Bijzonder!
Strange to think that you see people already death, someone's grandmother or even someone's mother.
Very Nice 👏 👏 👏
Better times? My grandma would disagree, life was harder then you think.
and we will be caught up together to meet the Lord in the heavens soon.
Loved it. Now I don't have to travel there. Thanks
Love those sweet little children in their wooden shoes.
🐟👍

Αφτες οι ταινιες για την ολλανχια που αγαπω ειναι αριστες..σας εφχαριστω..vollentam
1:31...if you don't know this was taken from a very old film you'll probably mistake this as just taken from a recent film
☺👌👍❤❤
What is that statue head at 2:03 above the children's heads?
That's the image of a Moor with his tongue stuck out, indicating that the concerning shop was a pharmacy or/and drugstore, and is called a 'gaper', yawner in English.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaper
It is called a "Gaper" and is/was commonly used as the sign for a pharmacy
A culture lost forever.
Yes, I was exactly there at 2020 It's s just tourism. It's so sad. There's no one kid playing around
@@marcelasegall6035 Western peoples are having fewer children each year.Our "progressive" rulers pushed for that too.For years.Now they want to replace us with incompatible peoples as they slur anybody who points to their own words and actions proving thier guilt..Something has to change and quickly,.
These videos tell me where the world is heading towards?
I doubt it. Anyhow, down hill only I'm afraid!
Life must have been quite tough back then. Hardly any child is smiling.
They are not Americans
Probably because the kids might have been a bit nervous or uncomfortable not really knowing what to do when someone is aiming a camera at them. Cameras back in the day where almost unheard of.
Hoe mooi is dit en hoe kan een land zo naar de klote gaan anno 2022.
Ik voel met je mee. Wellicht tijd voor "functie elders" voor 90% van degenen die momenteel op het Haagse pluche zitten?!
😱
🌹🌹
Schöne Hüte haben sie
Why did the men have such baggy pants?
Quite stylish today
So you would ask
That’s was interesting thanks
