- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- Remastered version of a long film captured all around Denmark in 1920.
"The beautiful Denmark, the country by the Sound and the Belt, - the smiling beaches, the bright forests, the lush farmland". A kaleidoscopic journey through Denmark. First, a tour of Copenhagen, including Tivoli Gardens, City Hall Square, the Marble Church, Amalienborg Palace, Dr. Louise's Bridge and the normal busy everyday life in the capital, as well as the nature in Dyrehaven just north of Copenhagen. From Zealand, you can see Stevns Klint with Gammel Højerup Church, the Goose Tower in Vordingborg, Fredensborg Castle, Nakkehoved Lighthouse in Gilleleje and Kronborg Castle. There is plenty of footage of beach life on the beaches of North Zealand and the rocky coast of Bornholm. On Funen you can see Christiansminde near Svendborg and the ferry to Tåsinge. From Jutland you can see The Silkeborg Lakes, Himmelbjerget, Aalborg, which is connected to Nørresundby by two bridges, Skagen with Holger Drachmann's grave, the west coast of Jutland (probably Thorup Strand and Bovbjerg), Esbjerg with its fishing port, Fanø, Ribe with its cathedral and old houses, Møgeltønder, Schackenborg Castle, Dybbøl and Sønderborg, Galgebakken and Brundlund Castle with the castle mill in Aabenraa, Gråsten Castle, Haderslev, Aarhus Cathedral, Koldinghus and the traffic hub Fredericia, which connects Funen and Jutland, and Vejle.
Vivid History is dedicated to restoring old black and white footage and creating high-quality colorized versions to give you an authentic and vivid experience of the past.
The video has been restored and colorized using state-of-the-art machine learning methods.
The restoration steps included:
- motion stabilization
- noise reduction
- colorization
- frame interpolation for increased FPS
- upscaling to 4K
- adding ambient sound
Please note, that the colorization is not perfect and so does not always show the true color.

1:10 You can still take a ride in that exact rollercoaster today. Nothing changed.
nothing? are you blind and deaf?????
Argh den er blevet lavet på igennem tiden for at bevare dens look men faktisk også lavet om på først i 1978 og så igen i 1999 og så løbene i 0’erne men det så også udsmykningen selve banen er den samme og vognene har de rekonstrueret. Men jo ellers er det den samme men også vildt at tænke på 👌
I bet the prices did.
@@garyfrancis6193 Relative to average income - the prices fell 94% :o))) - so You are right.
Damn that ride lives longer and have seen so much 😮
I'm from Denmark. This is nuts! 40 minutes of footage from this tiny country 103 years ago 😱 Just wow!!! Thank you so much for making this, looking very much forward to seeing all of it 🙏😊❤️ Tak!
Peter Elfelt havde et filmkamera meget tidligt og lavede mange filmoptagelser allerede fra slutningen af 1800-tallet.
Danmark blev senere førende internationalt i stumfilm.
@@SIC647 Tak for et spændende input! Man lærer noget nyt hver dag må man sige 😊
Lovely country ❤

What are the chances of a family member being in this footage?
I always wanted to go back in time to visit old Europe. Now, it has been made a reality. Thank you to all of the wonderful restorers of old film out there!
Thank you :)
Please do come visit Denmark, what you see here is mostly preserved, we don't remove most old buildings, the outsides are preserved, while the insides are at times remodeled. Come visit have a few beers and enjoy the beauty!
@Rev2.9 in copenhagen so much is still there tho
@Rev2.9 I don't believe that to be the case for the places showcased here, maybe you're right when it comes down to the numbers, but simply looking around i see mostly old exteriors on the buildings. I get lost simply looking up during my trips around Nørreport for example. And the very large buildings like castles, famous libraries etc are all preserved of course.
@Rev2.9 That is not true, Copenhagen is made up of old architecture
My father was born in Copenhagen in 1921 - he often told me of his visits to the Tivoli Gardens.
Many thanks for posting this.
looked like an amazing city before the races and religions mixed together
The roller coaster is still there 🙂
@@PeaceToAll-sl1dbstfu, the city is still great, and will continue to thrive without racists like you

"Beautiful Denmark" is a very appropriate description of this film. I would go further and say Idyllic Denmark as much of the architecture is magnificent and the people are so well-mannered. Superb restoration of the film - very natural.👍😄
"well-mannered", what do you compare that to?

You think Africans, Middle Easterners, Asians, South Americans, are better mannered than Americans? 🤨
Gotta say, I live in this city and the places depicted here really haven’t changed much
Barely changed at all!
People have certainly changed, however - and very, very much ....😢
@@rmp7400 Immigrants?
Great, I think this is because Danish people and his authorities keep their traditions, I really liked your country, and interested to visit it in the futur, greetings from the United States, and exactly from New Jersey.
😮
I'm happy that so many of those buildings still exist, and you can still ride Tivoli's classic rollercoaster "Den Gamle Rutsjebane" seen at 1:01. I've stood where those smiling people were waving at the rollercoaster from, and tried the ride several times, and the only distinctive change in that scene is how people are dressed. It creates a deep connection to the past, to think that we share many sights and attractions with people who were there over a hundred years ago. Times change, but some things didn't change much at all. Some things outlived people, and connected us over time. If that rollercoaster could transport me to the past to meet the people seen in this incredible restored footage, I'd be sure to have something experiential of Copenhagen in common with them.
'Times change, but some things didn't change much at all. ' - what a wonderfully original observation...
yeah you would have alot more in common with these folks ,then you have with the ppl hanging around there today...
It’s just “Rutsjebanen”.
“Den Gamle” seems like you’ve been influenced by watching this :)
I took that ride this year as well and I almost cried. too scary for me😂
That Ferris wheel ride immediately after at @1:36 looks way too fragile.
Turn this into VR and you my friend have a TIME MACHINE!!! This feels like the first time I saw the internet. I didn't truly comprehend what I was seeing. This is truly remarkable. It brings the past to the present!!
Now that would be amazing. I have never tried VR and I'm 33 (can't afford a headset LOL), but I can't wait for a day when we can do this like you said, or even visit famous museums and landmarks like we are standing right there. I know people are working on it as we speak.
Our beautiful Denmark....thank you so much for this lovely video ....103 years ago
Amazing ....❤
🤩🤩
Beautiful Danmark now overwhelmed by Africans and Muslims...so sad.
103 fake years.
@@rogerdk4800 Fake, like the person who commented "103 fake years."?
People look much more civilised than today.
Life was beautiful and real. VIVA EUROPA!
Unlike today, people were disciplined as children, so that they knew how to behave as adults.
Thye were not though.
The Great War had just ended and only two decades later, the Holocaust started.
When this footage was shot, it was only 5 years ago women were given the right to wote.
Du ser jo kun forsiden af medaljen
You took my word right out of my mouth, im danish and proud to be, but we live in a sick world today, i would love to live in 1920 or back in my childhood, rather than this sick work where everything is about power and corruption in a scale never matched bf
It’s kinda cool when you see an old man with a grey beard on that theme park train and realize that he was probably born in 1850’s and actually lived most of his productive life in the 19th century.
Thank you for the trip back in time, to see beautiful Denmark.
As a modern day amateur TH-camr making high quality walking videos from Denmark, this is fascinating.
It would be cool to make a comparison video side by side with these old clips, from the exact places, 103 years ago 🤔🙂
Again, thank you for the restoration of this incredible footage 🙏🏻
That would indeed be interesting :)
Amazing how tidy it looks compared to today. Denmark is still pretty tidy, but you can sense the rot creeping in in Copenhagen, in places. Many parts are starting to look as grubby as Berlin.
@@vernonhedge4530 Lucky I live in aarhus. It looks nearly the exact same in 90% of the places here.
You wouldn't see much change in the buildings in the centre of Copenhagen, I would guess that 90% of them are still there. Major changes are in the infrastructure, roadways etc.
The main thing I notice is the level of activity. I always thought it was the playback speed, but looking at this closely I really think there is a difference in how people move around like they are in a hurry or can't be bothered.
I won the lottery being born in Denmark! I love my country, thanks for this beautiful restoration.
Many of the views in this video is still present to this Day in its exact form, the old rollercoaster as example is still rideable and copenhagen central station has not changed thst much either.
Edit: my hometown Fredensborg is also present in this video! Wow 😊 the castle of Fredensborg and the Kongebroen 12:49
No way, Fredensborg my hometown too what a coincidence. love that town
really helps that all the major buildings are still in use, and protected and actively preserved.
I agree with you this is a beatiful restoration!

Thinking that I'm watching people who were born around mid to end of 1850s just blows my mind! This is the closest we get to a time machine! Really amazing ❤
I agree with you that a video from the past blows the mind.
For now. Eventually they'll figure out a way to generate videos of places and people from scratch. It'll probably take quantum computing or maybe additional gains in "AI" though.
And their parents and grandparents were born BEFORE and right around the time that the United States became its own country. That is friggin insane.
@@emmettkeyser1110 I can picture virtual reality 10-20 years from now allowing people to journey around cities and places in the past. Think of something like the assain's creed games but then make it almost 100% life-like. You want to know what it was like at the invasion of Normandy? You will! You want to watch the Hindenburg disaster like you were standing in the crowd? Now you can!
It is just a matter of time.
Magnifique époque ! Films remarquables ! Bravo pour ces archives ! De vrais tableaux vivants .
I am danish ! Grew up in Copenhagen … SO AMAZING to see this !! 🤩🇩🇰😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I am too ❤
I'm not Danish (Scottish) but still found this film enchanting ... it was interesting to see how life was 100 years ago ... so much was the same yet lots of differences too ... a charming little film ... and ps your country is beautiful.
Какой фантастический, светлый, умиротворяющий мир.
Благодарю❤❤
This is true, Denmark is the country of beauty and peace, since the old time.
Absolutely the best enhancement I have ever seen! Especially on a few segments that look to be from 1900. As if they were filmed yesterday!
It not hard to see why sunny, southerly CopenHagen was admired by all Scandinavians. Without this film it would be impossible to imagine a city where horses worked in tandem with cars, trams and bicycles.
No signs of half-starved, overworked horses that show up in similar vintage films from some other countries.
I wonder if viewers fully understand how much work goes into getting these enhancements so realistic. It's not just a matter of apps and a few clicks.
Out there somewhere on TH-cam is a spot that shows details of colorizing. If I understand it correctly, there's an easier way with one or two layers.
But, the most realistic results come from applying more and more layers, with patience and a good eye for what's most natural.
Of course all of this compilation predates the advent of sound, 1927. What has been added here is close to perfection: crashing waves, sounds of an outdoor market, birds singing in a park, the music of an amusement park ... yust every possible detail.
Thank you again. Looking forward to every new instalment.
It is however strange how there is a total absence of certain colors, especially red. The Danish flag shown many times is supposed to be red, not blue! here brown and blue dominate, else it's amazing to watch.
@@_Everyone__ Sadly, that will always happen with colorized film. I don't know much about the process, so don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure it is impossible to guess what black and white colors originally were, and most of the time the crew will go off of the average pallet of the time period, doing their best.
I don't even think the best AI in the world 100 years from now could put real original color back in colorless films :(
Danke für die Arbeit und Zugänglichkeit, eine schöne zeitreise in eine iwie schönere zeit ❤
Sehr gerne 🤗
no billboards, no graffitis, not a cellphone in sight... no agressivity. truly was another epoch
do you think mixing of races has helped or hurt society
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db It is destroying our civilization.
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db it has hurt.
I agree. And TH-cam censors poltically incorrect comments.
No aggressiveness? There was plenty of it. In many ways it was worse. It's just not what they chose to film.
Beautiful Denmark! Greetings from Finland!
I think Denmark is very beautiful as well. I look forward to more videos like this
Yes, it's really beautiful, and it's people is also beautiful, greetings from the United States.
21:37 Helsingborg - Helsingör ferries going between Denmark and Sweden with Kronborg castle in the back! Amazing footage, thank you for restoring and sharing 💙
I've always loved these AI upscaled and enhanced old footage, but i've never clicked faster on a video when i saw it was my own country! I watched the whole thing in awe and i recognized most of the places! Thanks for sharing!!
Med civilisation, smukke mennesker, kreativ arkitektur, nostalgi og meget smukt og spektakulært. ❤️🌹☺️
A much better quality of life I think.

Thanks for a few minutes of pure joy.❤
I'm a Dane and living in the heart of Copenhagen. I will say the city is now more beautiful than it was in the 80's. ;)
Yes, it's really beautiful, and it's people is also beautiful, I'm intersted to visit you in some day, greetings from the United States.

@@carstenf279 We, Swedish people have done better work this far :)
Sweden is so much prettier and better country overall, we love norway too 🙂
Very good quality, the remaster is super successful! I'd love to have more of it!
Thank you :) I would love to produce more, but it is quiet costly both time and money wise. And until now youtube does not want to monetize this channel :(
I think it must be remade. Speed of movements clearly failed here, it's not 60fps which everyone see. Colors still far away, but the speed was the only thing algorithms making good, maybe later color can be made more accurately. Here speed is broken, so the value is near zero.
I agree with you that the remaster is supper successful. I love the work that was done to make this video.
i didn't expect my hometown to be in this video, "Fredensborg" its really fascinating to see how different yet the same everything looks.
You have restored this marvelous footage with spectacular results. Thank you for sharing it with TH-cam. The images are so colourful, crisp and vivid in places. A time of environmental purity, though admittedly, in the aftermath of the First World War.
It looks like a cartoon, horrible AI upscaling
Each snapshot from this video is an artistic composition 😍
Magnifique,🤩🙏 merci beaucoup pour ce travail de restauration , c'est formidable et gratifiant de pouvoir se replonger dans la vie d'il y a un Siècle, quels beaux paysages,et c'est très reposant comparé à notre vie tumultueuse,en espérant voir vos prochaines vidéos,je vous félicite 👏👍
So, what this dear Frenchman is saying is something along the line of: "Wonderful,🤩🙏 thank you so much for this restoration work, it’s great and rewarding to be able to dive back into the life of a Century, what beautiful landscapes,and it’s very relaxing compared to our tumultuous life, hoping to see your next videos,I congratulate you."
1000 tak - det er fantastisk at se på - smukt og dejligt 🙂
Wow this is amazing, as a dane im really surprised that the streets, buildings & nature looks way more clean and beatiful than today!
The picture in my head was running sewers on the streets with horse remains everywhere.
One thing to consider is population. There's an extra 2.6 million people living in Denmark now, living standards have improved and getting something like snacks while out of the house would be infinitely more feasible and easy accessible to everyone than it was back then.
Likewise, the nature in Denmark is still freaking marvelous - Living in West Zealand I'm fairly close to bigger cities, but never more than a few minutes away from picturesque scenery.
These fixes to old footage are utterly fantastic. They make history so much more relatable and tangible. Much better than the grainy, black and white, wrong speed films we used to watch. Everything is so much more human. I might often have thought that people had to squeeze into those suits and dresses reluctantly, or consider them uncomfortable, same with the beach wear, but nothing of the sort, people look so natural, (naturally lol), with real agency and character just like today (of course lol) but it was always missing from the old clips which removed you even further from the humanity of people in the past. These clips however bring it that back. I hope all the film ever shot pre 1930 for example, can get the same treatment in time and affirm that people of the past were literally exactly like us and dispel the idea latent in most people today that our tech advances somehow makes us superior humans with superior lifestyles. They don't. And what a great place to live, quaint idyllic towns, beautiful architecture, life at human pace, purposeful physical work, little tourism, little over crowding. Oh well.
I think you made a really good comment about this video!
@@classicmoviesvault Thanks much appreciated.
Это исходное видео , а раньше вам показывали искажения.

So very very well said, great comment and you really did summarise things perfectly regarding this beautiful timeless post!
Absolutely wonderful. My ancestors were from Denmark. It’s so nice to see their lives in color. A blessing for me.
Thank you so much for sharing. 💕
I surprised, how little have changed in Copenhagen. Maybe the bikes more modern, fashion changed a bit, and not so many horses. But the buildings and rushhours is the same. Agriculture, fishery and docks changed a lot i think, they used to be so labour intensive.
Exactly... I was thinking the same. It all looks very much like we see it now. The vintage cars, horses and clothes are obviously the exception, but otherwise it just looks surpisingly normal. I was expecting things to be much different.
@@Ben_D.Though, now you see women and girls forced to dress according to religious oppression.
Didn't happen those days!

Therapeutic. Just relaxes me so much to watch our ancestors. Thank you!
I agree, you said it perfectly
Streets full of people, cyclists and streetcars, almost no cars. A century later people believe its a human right to go by car everywhere. Thanks for the restauration of these films.
@@chronicreader Copenhagen is great in that regard for todays standards, but there are still a lot of cars compared to then
Beautiful place, beautiful people...and just a few years later unimaginable hell broke loose all over Europe.
The tragedy of the Great War ended in 1918...unless you are thinking of World War II which began in 1939. (almost two decades away)
denmark wasn't destroyed that much under the german rule. in a way we were seen as their brothers so we didn't get ravaged like other countries

هل الفيلم حقيقي ام انه الذكاء الاصطناعي ارجوا الاجابة اعجبنني كثيرا
It's real, just colorized.
Great comment!
This footage makes it look like someone was ahead of the times! Simply amazing!!
You are right they definitly were ahead of the times
These pictures are extraordinary. I see them with strange feelings of nostalgia and melancholy !? My great and grandparents and mother as a child would be ghosts living in these times. And then the dark clouds of history swept over them, the great grandparents didn’t survive.
Like a time machine!! Fantastic!
Agreed
Fantastic film of history I'm so grateful for the person that recorded this film Thank you for uploading this ❤
Film history is amazing. Often when you watch old movies you can see a lot of history in the background.
I'm Danish, and i think this is beautiful. Copenhagen, and infact all of Denmark, is but a shadow of it's former self today.
yeah.. Thanks "diversity",...
Oh well, we never thought anything positive about denmark, weird small country full of rude people. Greetings from sweden, best nordic country.
This was a beautifully restored film. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I am glad the video was shared as well.
Life had quality those days. Women were dressed so nicely. Everyone with his own bicycle was a king. Less vehicles on the road and more people. A small boat was faster than tram. People looked so happy. Younger and elderly both were fascinated by camera. Beautiful architecture and infrastructure.
I agree with you that life had quality those days!
now everyone dress like a ho e😂
True💯
As a "late-life" only child, I grew up with this music. My parents were born in 1920 and 1921, and Dad served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. They played this music constantly in our home, and I consider it part of my soul. God bless you Mom and Dad!
at 8:27 the "cliffs" have fallen way more back and 1/3 of the church because of the cliff falling, is now gone and in the ocean, its really fascinating to see how it all looked back then as a Dane.
I can recognize so many places from Copenhagen. A lot fewer cars, it was actually nicer back then.
Apart from the smell and water supply
I have recently visited our capitol....wonderfull København. A lot...a lot! looks exactly the same. Todays cars fill up a lot....and tourists! But never the less..... København is a spectacular city!!
Thanks for making this possible to watch, funny to see, my grandmother was 11 yo back then growing up in Fredriksberg Copenhagen, with parents owning a butcher shop and my granfather being a sea captain at Gothland.
19:19 that is in Odense 😮I think it is called Sankt Knuds kirke , Ive walked past this view many time , thank you for showing us all these wonderful bits of Danish history. So much guessing and recognizing
Thank you for your patient and beautiful work ! This document is exceptional…
That rollercoaster is still running!
Astonishing...every frame an impressionist masterpiece.
Вы представляете смотришь и чувство как будто вернулся назад во времени, кайф от этого видео капец, не знаю как вам а меня плющит во всю
Absolutely love the old gentleman waving his hat everyone on the Rollercoaster.. And they all wave back, lovely. Those cliff side houses must be all long gone
Everything looks so Classy and Elegant.....❤❤
This is the most beautiful and nostalgic video I've seen since TH-cam was created ❤
The revolving bridge is something to behold. Like out of a Jules Verne novel
Well said
Amazing video, I recognized the Central train station, Looked a lot more clean back then. Thank you for sharing this moment of nostalgia, I love videos that make me SMILE. 🙂🙂🙂
In those days, the people chase after the cameras. These days, cameras chase after the people.
True
Around 3.30 minutes or so the the ladies on the quayside selling fish ....my dad born 1923 said he remembered going down to the waterside in Sunderland (the river wear) with his mam to buy fish and the ladies there were dressed in a very similar way......the skirts the shawls tucked in....... the head wear was a head scarf with a flat cap over the top and some of them had clay pipes.....😊......such a beautiful video ....
England btw 😊...
My Ukrainian grandmother worked here as a young woman. The money she exchanged was worthless in Galicia Ukraine when she returned. Just like the rubble today…worthless. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. She married her love, a poor polish bee keeper and farmer, and lived in the Ternopolski oblast in poverty. Her daughter left poverty as a world war 2 DP, immigrated to Canada to live in comfort, dying at 93 debt free. Thank you USA in Bavaria and Canada for making this possible.
Hej All! At 17.45 shows the pontonbridge from Aalborg to Nørresundby! And after that the Old railwaybridge! The White building in the background was Hotel Royal! The building is still there! Now used as appartments! You Can also see Nørresundby Church! Me and my wide Got married there in 1986! Great film! Love it! Hans-Jørn Mortensen!
I watched your video "Amazing Restored Variety Show from the early 1940s" and I got nostalgic to an era I wasn't even born yet. Great to see old videos colorized and enhanced, it really brings the viewer back in time. I hope, if it's okay, could you colorize and enhance old videos of Manila from year 1930s?
Thank you for this amazing restoration. Great work! It's relaxing to look into the past and recognize much simpler life was then. In many ways, they were better off than we are today.
Wahnsinn....so schön
How beautiful!! Everyone looks so stylish. Wish I can see that now. Looks like a fairy tale. They look happier than people today. Buildings are so beautiful. So much nicer than any modern building.
It's always so strange to look at videos where you know that every single person shown now lies buried in the ground.
It gives this (unfortunately) rare realization of being alive right here right now.
Die Person ja aber nicht die Seele! Die Seele kann in unserer Epoche inkarniert sein!?
I’m born and raised in Copenhagen, it’s crazy to watch how it looked in the old days and seeing the places I’ve been so many many times, I’m 58 now
Just from the opening shot alone you can't convince me that we haven't already peaked as a species and civilization.
My great grandfather lost his life due to eating undercooked pork, without penecilium life was capricious.
My grandfather work at the workshop for those exact trams we see in the footage. OSHA and workers rights was a town in Russia.
During a demonstration for a 8hours 6days a week and a cent more an hour, he got shot in the foot by dragoons. We owe our forefathers a huge dept, but life was definitely not better than now.
No doubt in my mind that we are being lied to about our history. Just look at some of the buildings around the world. We can’t build like this anymore. Most def things some people do not want us to know. Yes, i do believe we have peaked and have been destroyed. But still a lot of history remains to tell us if we just open our eyes and mind.
@@lisekrogh7 we can still build amazing things. The thing is, while materials have gotten cheaper, the cost of labor has skyrocketed. It is simply way too expensive to justify. The craftmanship it takes is still alive, and we use it every day for the ongoing maintanence of old buildings (at a huge cost). You dont need to invent any grand conspiracy, it is simply economics. back in the day most families lived in small cramped apartments with poor insulation, no plumbing or electricity. several families in small dark houses, disease was rampant. they were living in squalor, really. that was what the common man could afford. But with the taxes collected by those hardworking individuals, we could afford to build beautiful palaces for the wealthy.
Nowadays we have different priorities. we all expect to live in larger, fancier homes with all the modern amenities, and we expect to have a state apparatus that works for the common man, and not just the royals/clergy/nobles. You arent going to convince anyone to give up all those things just to divert that money into the construction of a church or palace
Wow, it's really wonderful, it was very very beautiful, and until now Denmark is very beautiful country, greetings from the United States, exactly from New Jersey.😍✌
All of these people are long gone, not just in this video but all over the rest of the world.
Wild to think, that not one person shown this film is alive today.
Ein echtes Erlebnis! Klasse!
Danke :)
Nos 26 minutos aquela ponte giratória incrível. Não sabia que já existia tecnologia tão avançada em 1920.
I was living in Copenhagen 10 years and regret that danish women changed a lot since... In this film they are very elegant, what I cannot say about now days.
You just met modern Day feminism, the destroyer of Societies.
And Russians are better? Hahahahah?
@@shades2.183 you are welcome to compare, if you have chance to visit Russia.
@@viktoriat2661 I have been and i was not impressed, so many drunks, dirty and misplaced hybris. But that is just one small part, so many other things as well. But hey stick to your tv propaganda, do as most of you do but try to clean up your own mess before pointing at others.
Here is another fact, you didn't live 10 years in Denmark.
@@shades2.183 you never was in Russia )))
The most beautiful Denmark I've ever seen ❤
Still looks the same, just without all the horses and more bikes
the steam boat at 15:30 is still operating today. You can even see sky mountain in the distance at the top of the hill. Looking closer at it i can tell that its actually the habour in Laven. Its still there and looks similar to the old harbour.
As mentioned one comment, Videos showing civilised people and advancement infrastructure in that period is amazing.
❤❤
Super interesting. And I have always been told that everyone in the old times was dying on the streets, sick and poor and blah, blah, blah. Certainly doesnt look like this in this extensive video. And I most certainly prefer the old times, very relaxed, lots of beautiful nature, beautiful clothing, etc. Today's stress is unbearable.
Remember, you only see the nice part. Lot's of poverty in the late 1920's and with the Wall Street crash in 1929. My Grandfather went bankrupt after this. That affected most of Europe.
Also remember that the first Social Act was made 1933 and the first vacation law came in 1938. Life was tuff.
My Grandfather came from Denmark through Ellis Island back in 1906 or thereabouts. I was in Copenhagen back in the 70's and saw my last name everywhere. Petersen with an E before N not O!! LOL I like it when they are able to colorize early movies. Thanks for sharing!
sjælden smuk og imponerende film, 40 fantastiske min. fra et måske bedre, men helt sikkert andet Danmark!
mange tak for det-
Nok ikke bedre. Det var præcis på den tid de spæde skridt til velfærdsstaten blev lagt. Vi fik den første socialreform med Kanslergadeforliget i 1933. Første ferielov blev vedtaget i 1938.
@@zoolook666Jeg tror alle kan se på filmen at København var bedre dengang. Vores larmende hovedstad fremstår idyllisk og harmonisk, som i et eventyr.
@@Murlur Levestandarden var skidt, der lugtede fælt og byen var fyldt med kreaturer - som i titusinder. Men pænt ser det ud på film.
@@Murlur Tror ikke at lugten var så idylisk - lort fra både dyr og mennesker over alt. Men ja, det ser sgu hyggeligt ud på video!😀
One of the cleanest cities I have ever been to.Wish I could of met Hans Christian Anderson alive as I visited his grave sight in Copenhagen. It was beautiful with Pansies allover......
15:33 Himmelbjerget in the background seen from Julsø, with "SS Hjejlen" from 1861, the oldest steam driven paddle wheel ship in Denmark, still sailing 🇩🇰🤗🌊
18:56 Smakkejoller bound for Fyn, most likely Svendborg. Christiansminde, what a beautiful maritime culture.
29:37 The little Mermaid.
30:35 Eremitageslottet.
23:18 to 24:21. That's the hotel on Fanø called "Kongen af Danmark (the king of Denmark)" which burnt down in 1981. Some farms and the street "Hovedgaden", right infront of the shop called "Huset Fanø".
It feels like a game, where you have to guess the places.
This copulation of film footage is outstanding, thank you! Cheers from Atlantic Canada👍🏼😎🇨🇦
А кто заметил, что в кадрах редко встречаются дети. Совсем нет детей в колясках и малышей. Первые этажи зданий утоплены в землю и,, торчат,, окошки, только на половину. Люди выглядят самодостаточными, все хорошо одеты, одежда не из масс-маркета. И что удивительно, все в головных уборах. Такое ощущение, что все жители были заселены в готовый город. Ведь при наличии повозок и лошадей, построить такие великолепные здания, невозможно. Фильм вызвал восхищение! Спасибо.
А на первых кадрах женщина разговаривает по мобильному телефону 😉
Amazing seeing how little Copenhagen Central station seems to have changed lol
Parabéns ao canal por esse belo registro histórico somos transportados ao passado é como uma maquina do tempo onde podemos ver o povo daquela época seus costumes, trajes e cenas cotidianas incrível também a qualidade do vídeo !!!! show
The gravitas ! Those magnificent buildings and people looked so dignified and impressive with their clothing and hats. Now we just slouch around in hoodies and trainers at all ages !
During the "Golden age" in each european country life was awesome,and people sophisticated.
0:26 Thorvaldsens Museum. Behind it is Christiansborg Slotskirke.

1:45 Magasin du Nord. Designed by Albert Jensen. To the left is the Royal Theater.
1:57 Marmorkirken
2:30 Amalienborg. The Queen's winter residence. In the middle of it is 'Rytterstatuen'(Rider statue). Considering these images the Royal Guards were a bit more relaxed back then.
2:46 Amalienborg. There are 4 buildings. One for the queen, one is a museum, one is a guest house, and one houses the Crown prince's family.
3:56 Christiansborg Castle. Total it is the workplace for the Danish Parliament, The Supreme Court, and Prime Ministry.
4:12 Børsen. Where the stock exchange used to be. The building is iconic for its spire that consists of three dragon tails. It has survived both major Copenhagen fires whilst all other buildings around has burned.
4:31 On the right is Skt. Nikolajs Church. Just right of the second bridge is Højbro Plads.
4:31 'Rundetårn'(Round tower) can be seen in the background.

10:50 Rosenborg Slot.
11:05 Søtorvet. Recorded from 'Dronning Louises bro'
12:42 Rosenborg Slot igen.
12:53 Fredensborg Slot.
17:36 Viborg Town Hall. Today it is Skovgaard museum.
18:08 No idea. I can only think of two places(Aalborg and Middlefart) with train crossings like this but both seems to be significant longer than this.
21:27 Kronborg Slot
28:33 Gråsten Slot
28:55 Gråsten Torvet 7. None of those buildings stand there today.
29:37 The little mermaid. Building in background was the Schalburgtage. It was blown up by germans in 1944 in retaliation against a resistance movement.
30:37 Eremitageslottet
31:53 Skodsborg Badehotel.
38:51 Sankt Albani Church in Odense. Church still stands. Building next to is gone.
39:22 Sønderborg
39:29 Sønderborg Slot. This is where Christian the 2nd was imprisoned.
21:27 Er ikke Egeskov slot, Egeskov ligger midt på Fyn uden vand. Det ligner mere Kronborg Slot.
@@neobnyf Du har ret. Jeg retter.
31:53 er/var Skodsborg Badehotel
The danish national flag is the oldest in the world with bold red and white. Would be great to color match it, since it's in many scenes. But great work for sure, I can appreciate how much time this takes.
My grandfather was born in Copenhageni. 1914. I know he was fishing as a little boy in the Canals. He lived in Laksegade. Cant help looking for him.
I really love to see how much space pedestrians and cycles had before cars took over the space.
