Кохем: Вино, замки и романтика Мозеля

Welcome to Cochem, a town on the Moselle. First, let’s learn how to greet someone here. Here in Rhineland-Palatinate, they have their own dialect. When greeting someone, the locals say, “Guten moya guten mittach.” But like everyone else, they try to simplify things. And at some point, they decided that to say hello, all you need to do is utter a magic sound. Oh, just imagine, you’re strolling through the city, and your friends shout to you from the other side of the street: “Oh, oh, you’ve already practiced, it works. That means you’ll be welcome here. In this episode, we’ll talk about the history of this wonderful town on the Mosel, where wine traditions almost define the lives of not only the townspeople, but also the city’s guests. We know that this city has a common name with Russian and one of the most beloved words for every resident of the country. This word is “kitchen.” We’ll meet the local schmanderleckers, sour cream lovers. Bere and, frankly, very sad legends about the poor goat. I feel sorry for the goat. You’ll see how the green inhabitants of the city interfered with our filming, plunging us into horror. Remove it. I’ll also tell you that hot tree resin has an expression that means to fail. And now my greeting as it is customary here. Oh, friends, let’s begin. To begin, let’s admire the beautiful view of the two main The city’s landmarks. Firstly, the impressive Reichsburg fortress at the top and the Church of St. Martin with its Baroque towers. In the painting by the Dutch artist Jacques Carabin, we see a depiction of the city as the artist envisioned it in the early 19th century. If you look at the fortress, you can see a big difference between how it looked then and how it looks now. Back then, it was in ruins after the devastating French attack in the 15th century. Thanks to Louis Raven, a merchant from Berlin, the fortress was restored and looks as we see it today. During the restoration, the original construction plan from the Middle Ages was used, because that architectural style was very impressive. The restoration of the fortress was approximately contemporaneous with the construction of Neue Schwanstein Castle in Bavaria. Mm. If you look at the fortress from a historical point of view, yes, a few towers were added there, but basically its appearance remained the same as it was at its founding. But the interesting thing about this whole story is that Louis Raven initially wanted to buy a fortress in the neighboring town of Traben-Trabach, but He wasn’t allowed to do so there. Apparently, the rulers of the time were short-sighted, but for Cochen it was a great stroke of luck that a city richer than Berlin decided to restore a medieval treasure here. We’ll return to the fortress later, but for now we’ll continue here, down in the city. Before we go into the old town, let’s take a look at this mosaic. In the 1980s, local artist Karl Fritz Nicolai depicted on this wall what historically defines the city. It all started with the Romans. Where would we be without them? At the top left, we see a fragment from the famous poem by the Roman poet Asonius, describing the Moselle River in the 1st century. To this day, the Moselle is a source of pride for local residents. A little further down, we learn where the name Cochen comes from, namely, from the name of the Cochema villa. This is the first written mention of the settlement. The word Kochuma, in turn, comes from the Frankish language, the roots of which lie, in particular, in Celtic. And that word, The word “kohuma” (from which the word “kohuma” derives) sounded like “kuhmy” in Celtic. Does this remind you of anything? As soon as I heard this word, it immediately associated itself with the word. Now listen further. The meaning of this word in Celtic was this. It was one of the rooms we have in a home, apartment, or house. We are, of course, talking about the kitchen. If you translate the word “kuhme” precisely, it means a place where a fire is made. It seems that our connection with the Celts is undeniable. Presumably, the Celts originally settled on one of the hills called Klosterberg, which we will later climb. The city’s coat of arms in the center of the mosaic refers to those who granted the city municipal rights in the 10th century. These are the archbishops of Trier. I talked about the city charter and its significance for a medieval city in the episode about the city of Heppenheim. Link on the screen. On the left side of the coat of arms, we see the Red Cross of the archbishops. And V The coat of arms , holding two keys in their right hand, symbolizes the secular and spiritual power they wielded here for over 500 years. They settled in quite nicely. Directly above the coat of arms is a medieval fortress as it appeared before the French invasion. The fortress was built by the Count Palatine in 2020. The Archbishops of Trier later expanded it. It was this old fortress that later became a landmark for Louis Ravené, who restored it. And the result of his work is what we see now. We could stand here for a long time, but we’ll move on. We already know that the French hordes completely destroyed the fortress in the 15th century. They did the same to the entire city. And only three houses remain in the city. One of them stands before our eyes. This is Alte Torschenke. It is the oldest house in the city. Why it was spared remains a mystery to this day. The exact age of the house can be determined by looking at two round medallions on the upper floor, or more precisely, the left medallion. It bears the date 1625. Frankly, looking at the medallion, you wouldn’t immediately realize there’s a date there. And if you don’t know what date to look for, I don’t think you’ll figure out what date it is at all. The creators of the house immortalized themselves with these medallions. The left one bears the initials of the owner of the house. The right one is decorated with roses and perhaps refers to the owner. The figure of a saint on the right corner of the house indicates that these were difficult times. This figure, in fact, represents a plague healer, who was supposed to protect the house from this scourge. Now let’s look at the Endertor gate to the left of the oldest house. This is, in fact, a surviving gate of the city defensive wall from the 15th century. And today we can see that this small tower also served as a prison. In the wall we see two small windows with bars. There’s a story about this. They say criminals never stayed here longer than three days. What’s the reason for that? There’s a philosophy behind it. The city was very poor, and they simply didn’t have the money to keep criminals here. So, it was decided that they shouldn’t stay here longer than three days. Before we go into the center of the old town, I’ll show you the flood marks that were left here. They show the worst floods that happened here. Look, here I am, my height, and those marks— there was water there in 1781, in 1784, my friends. Everything here was underwater. After we visited the largest city gate, we can now see the smallest ones, called the Fuchsloch gate. It’s on the other side of the pedestrian area between the buildings. Watch your heads. It’s very low here, otherwise you’ll be accused of vandalism if you hit the ceiling with your head. Come on. Wow, wow, wow. It’s really low here, guys. Be careful. Fox’s Hole and the Hole. People started calling this place just because of its small size. Some also believe the passage isn’t as high because people were smaller back then, but that’s not certain. It was all about weapons. An attacker on the other side of the wall couldn’t shoot through this spot because there’s apparently a 90° bend here. If someone wanted to throw something from the wall, that wouldn’t have worked either because they’d have to exit this wall. But if they came out here to the enemy, they’d be in a vulnerable position. Constant raids and attacks forced people back then to think through every little detail for safety. There’s a very interesting story about the goat fountain. It begins with someone once saying that this very goat was in the vineyard without permission. And what do you think she was doing there? Eating grapes without permission. How awful. Someone said in her defense: “We can’t punish the goat because we don’t know for sure whether she ate the grapes or not.” But the issue was quickly resolved. Then the mayor had a brilliant idea. The mayors of the time apparently had time to deal with a goat that had supposedly eaten the grapes. Back to the mayor’s idea. He said that it was possible to determine whether a goat was guilty or not in this way. If we take a goat, put it in a wine press and press it hard. If grape juice flows out of the goat after this, then the goat is the true villain and guilty. If not, then not. It was done as the mayor said, and blood flowed from the goat. And only then did people notice, What they did. The goat was innocent, but it was too late for her. Pity the goat. This church is primarily known for its stained glass windows. We’re going to see them. Inside the church, on the left side, in the old choir room, is this beauty. Two stained glass artists from London worked on this project. The windows were installed in 2009 and depict scenes from the Bible. The most eye-catching is the red stained glass at the end of the hall in the center. This window tells the story of Jesus’s suffering. There we see him on a donkey. This scene depicts his entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Wooden plaques on the wall commemorate the local residents who died during World War II. If you look at the dates, we see that January 5, 1945, was especially deadly. It was a terrible night of bombing, in which 60% of the city was destroyed. Friends, here in the market square we see half-timbered houses typical of the Mosel region. Notice it’s early October, but the weather feels like summer. It’s like a summer resort. People are relaxing, drinking wine, enjoying flowers, and enjoying the sun. It’s simply amazing. If you look at the facades of the houses, you’ll see many slightly curved wooden beams. Do you have any idea what they resemble? So, people were so creative that even when building houses, they used wooden beams to depict what they most often saw outside. It’s a grapevine. And some wooden beams are even decorated with hearts, which symbolize the buds of that same grapevine. And here’s a mystery. Here, in the big yellow house, there’s a figurine at the top. They call it a water spirit. No one knows exactly what this figure represents, but local tour guides have a theory. The original owner of this building was a merchant. He sold fish. In fact, there are many fishermen’s houses on the Mosel. Perhaps that’s why there’s such a connection with this water spirit, who was supposed to help with the fishing business. If any of you know, let me know in the comments. Looking down this small street, we see this half-timbered house called Zom Tuffie. It was built in 1642 and is one of the three houses that survived the French onslaught. Perhaps it was the French’s revenge that the town was completely wiped off the face of the earth, as a French officer had been shot here shortly before. If you want to get to know typical Cochem residents, you can do so on this bench. This man in a top hat is licking sour cream from his fingers. His original name is Schmandelecker. Schmandelecker is a nickname for the town’s residents. The term comes from the fact that Cochem residents used to eat a lot of sour cream and, apparently, often licked their fingers. Hence the nickname “schmandelecker” and the sour cream. Until about the 1960s, farmers came to the town with their produce to sell. And what did they bring? Butter, eggs, chicken, and, of course, sour cream. And where was the sour cream stored? In large pots, of course. Housewives would come to the market with small pots and say to the vendor, “In Game of Thrones, there were White Walkers, and in this city, there were Yadaki, not quite white, but still a little bit, since they were white sour cream eaters.” So, this phrase means, “Let me try it.” Customers would say it with relish and stick their fingers into the sour cream , then lick it to see if it was good or not. As a result, here in the city, there was more finger-licking and tasting than buying. And so the vendors nicknamed these residents “schmandelekers,” or sour cream eaters. To the right of the stall stands a man with a barrel on his back. He had a special purpose. We see a trumpet in his hand, and in the mornings, he would walk around the city blowing it. The townspeople would bring him their cows, and he would take them to graze in the meadows. You thought he was a shepherd? No, not only that. His other job was cleaning toilets. He’d collect the goods in that barrel on his back and then carry it all outside the city wall. And in the episode about the German Epstein, the link is on the screen, I talked about the pavement scum who would empty their chamber pots right onto the pavement and even manage to collect tolls. And finally, we have another name here called Ricardo. This lady lived here in the 19th century. We see an umbrella in one hand, and a bag in the other, in which she carried candles. She lived behind She started out selling candles, but she became famous for congratulating everyone in town on various occasions. Be it a birthday, a wedding, or something else. What kind of positive woman was she? She didn’t just congratulate with words. She always had cake and coffee with her. This went on for several decades. I think modern Germans would follow her around, hoping for a little coffee and a piece of cake. Freeloaders. Thus, we created a portrait of typical city dwellers in the Middle Ages. Some of them liked to lick their fingers, others cleaned pots, and yet another congratulated everyone on all occasions. Oh, look, a beetle landed on me. It’s a locust. Mom, that’s it, show me my face. It’s crawling up here towards me. That’s it, get it out of here. Inspired by such an unexpected meeting, we head to the next location. In front of us are two particularly beautiful half-timbered houses, but only one of them is old, the other was built only a few years ago. At first glance, it’s not noticeable, but if you look closely, you can see the building on the right dates back to 1704. The house on the left was built by a local architect in the 1980s. The Balduinstor is the best-preserved gate in the fortress wall. It’s named after the Archbishop of Trier, Balduin, who helped the city obtain its charter. If you look at the gate from the back, a hole is immediately noticeable. Even the hole has its own name. Meet the unlucky nose. Pekh naze. This hole looks a bit like a nose, but why is it so important? During attacks, this hole was used for defense. They shot heated tree resin from it. It was heated and then fired at the enemy in a liquid state. In the Middle Ages, this resin was called pei. If the resin hit a warrior, he couldn’t move because it was very viscous, and then he was defenseless. So, this infantry ended up on the warrior. That’s where the medieval expression “du khast pekh gehabt” (meaning “you’re unlucky”) comes from. How interesting. You stand in front of the fortress and think about how rich Louis Ravené must have been, who restored it. During industrialization in the 15th century, he made a huge fortune selling metals and steel. And this castle was supposed to be his wife’s summer residence. But it wasn’t meant to be. Because his wife had an lover, they divorced, and she left for Poland. Thus, his wife never set foot in the fortress. And a year after the fortress was built, Ravené died. The name Reichsburg Fortress comes from the 11th century, when it was subordinated to the German Nation by the Holy Roman Empire. The fortress looks phenomenal from any point in the city. From the Middle Ages, parts of the large tower in the middle and the small one to the left of it remain. The mosaic on the Great Tower depicts Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers. The National Socialists removed the mosaic in the 1940s, but after the war, it was restored thanks to donations from the townspeople. Also of interest is the small tower on the lower right side, in front of the fortress. It also dates back to the Middle Ages and served as a lookout tower. The last place we visited was the observation deck. It offers stunning views. Right there, we can see a mountain with a cross, erected there after the death of a shepherd. On the slopes of the mountain, we see valuable vineyard varieties. This is the source of all the wine here. And here, almost every other house has a wine cellar for tasting. To the left of this mountain, in the distance, you can see the Winneburg fortress. In the 10th century, it was also destroyed by the French. Let’s look down. And here, to the side, is the 4-kilometer-long Emperor Wilhelm Tunnel. Until 1980, it was the longest tunnel in Germany. But it was precisely because of this tunnel that the city was completely destroyed during World War II, as this site was of strategic importance. Ironically, the city was destroyed, but it seems they simply missed the tunnel. Friends, that’s all for today. If you liked it, we appreciate your activity. It’s no secret that comments, likes, and subscriptions are very helpful in promoting the project. We would be very grateful.
