More information about the video content bellow:
1. The canton of Lucerne is a canton of Switzerland. It is located in the centre of Switzerland. Tourism is of great importance. The canton of Lucerne is a gateway to holiday resorts in the nearby Alps, and much of the transit traffic between Germany and Italy crosses the region.
2. Once on the place of Lucerne there was a little village. One night the villagers saw an angel holding a lantern in the sky. Lighting the road with this lantern, he showed the people to a place, where later on they built a monastery. The settlement around it grew and in time turned into a city, named Lucerne, which means “luminous”, as the place that was illuminated by the angel.
3. Interesting, that Lucerne was the city that initiated the creation of the Swiss Confederation. For quite some time since 1290, when the population had risen to about 3000 inhabitants and the city itself had become powerful and self-sufficient, Lucerne had been under the rule of King Rudolph I von Habsburg, who after obtaining authority over the Monastery of St. Leodegar, secured all its lands, including Lucerne, by the Habsburgs as well.
4. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Swiss Alps and on the shores of crystal blue Lake Lucerne, entwined by an equally blue ribbon of the river Reuss, this beautifully idyllic place, full of intricately decorated houses with centuries-old ornaments, towers and spires, which are proudly rising in the blue skies similarly to neighbouring mounts Pilatus and Rigi, without a doubt justifies the claim of being the most beautiful city in Switzerland.
5. Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke): a 200 m long covered wooden bridge in the city center, with 111 paintings in the inside. Attached is the Water Tower, which dates back to about 1300. The bridge is accessible on foot from the train station in 5 minutes. The Spreuer Bridge or the Mill Bridge, as it is also called, is one of the famous wooden covered bridges, located not fat from the Chapel Bridge – downriver, between the Kasernenplatz and the Mühlenplatz, zigzaging across the Reuss. It was constructed in 1408 and features a series of medieval-style 17th century plague paintings by Kaspar Meglinger, titled Dance of Death (Totentanzzyklus).
6. The Swiss Museum of Transport is one of the most interesting in the world and the largest comprehensive museum in Europe exhibiting all forms of transport, starting from locomotives, automobiles, motorcycles, ships and ending by aircraft and space shuttles.
7. The emotional outpourings of Edouard Castres are most vividly captured in a 112 meters by 10 meters giant circular panoramic painting, famously called the Bourbaki panorama. The travails of soldiers caught in the German-French war of 1870-1871, under the French General Bourbaki, and the heart-rending miseries endured by civilians is so poignantly brought to life by the paintbrush strokes of the painter that one can feel the anguish simply viewing it. Edouard, who participated in the war as a Red Cross volunteer, has made the canvas come alive with the most realistic portrayal of this war.

Hofkirche Luzern
St. Leodegar im Hof
Die Hofkirche St. Leodegar ist eines der Wahrzeichen der Stadt Luzern in der Schweiz. Die Hofkirche ist die Hauptkirche der römisch-katholischen Pfarrei St. Leodegar im Hof, einer der acht katholischen Stadtpfarreien Luzerns und sie ist zugleich die Stiftskirche des Kollegiat-Stifts St. Leodegar. Die Hofkirche wurde von 1633 bis 1639 teilweise auf den Fundamenten der 1633 abgebrannten romanischen Basilika gebaut und ist eine der wenigen Kirchen, die während des Dreissigjährigen Kriegs nördlich der Alpen gebaut wurden und eine der grössten und kunsthistorisch wertvollsten Kirchen der deutschen Spätrenaissance.
