Wanted to share this.
Stunning footage, in such high quality, it is nearly like time travelling!

Part 1

Part 2

(Just don't bother with the comment sections, business as usual.

)

That's quite the find there. It, indeed, looks like one is time-traveling. What a great video, considering that I was in Berlin recently.

Looks like digitally colourised black and white footage to me.

Never been to Berlin but will one day I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing

You can tell it's been coloured, but it's still mesmerising

Time traveler found

first video, 1:21, guy in blue suit uses a camera too small to be of the period and didn't even press it to his face, it has a modern LCD display

Not so sure there Anze but you could be right.

Right...

C'mon, it was a joke.

Looking at Rhodes image I'm still surprised how small cameras already were in those times

I know, was also joking!

But would like to know what camera that fellow was holding.

I can safely say something with Karl Zeiss lenses.

^ Indeed, since many folder cameras have/had them.

If that's 1900 those automobiles must have come from a time machine. It seems to look more like about 1912 (just guessing).

Description points out that some footage is from ~1914 - like the soldiers in the end of the first video.
