Deutschlands Städte

Germany is a country of cities. Nowhere in the world exist so many cities in a relatively narrow area: trading cities, residential cities or industrial cities - all of whom competing with each other. This 3 part series tells the story of different German cities from the middle ages to industrial revolution. It explores how small villages could become metropolitan cities and what people, ideas and inventions made cities like Frankfurt, Cologne and Berlin so successful over the centuries.
