Tobias Nikolayev & Ralf Grützbach

The manor house pod - Volume 2

The two podcasters Ralf and Tobias and their fascinating journey through the world of manor houses and country castles.

Following the success of volume 1, "Der Gutshauspod" is now also dedicated to some of the more well-known large houses. The two podcasters have compiled 14 unique portraits of manor houses, country palaces, residences and castles and explore essential questions of architectural heritage: What does it mean to preserve a monument today? What does it take to preserve these buildings for future generations? A real reading experience with authentic portraits on 256 pages and more than 300 photos, some previously unpublished.

The philosophical subtitle of the cultural podcast "Der Gutshauspod" also runs as a common thread through volume 2: "Does what you once imagined also correspond to the current reality? Or to put it another way: What is life like between the ideal and the reality?" This question forms the climax of each episode and invites listeners to join Tobias Nikolayev and Ralf Grützbach on a fascinating journey to the people behind the impressive facades.

Their conversations with idealists, experts and experts reveal the personal stories and perspectives of the people who live this heritage with passion. On 256 pages, visualized by partly unpublished images, a special collection of encounters unfolds, which has led the two podcasters to a common insight: Every house is as individual as its owners themselves.
