7:53 Conclusion by AidanEyewitness

In this video, I give 27 facts about the Liver Building. How tall is it? When was the Liver Building built? What was there before the Liver Building was built? Who was the German artist who created the Liver Birds? It was Carl Bernard Bartels.

On my aidan.co.uk site, you'll find an article with photos of the Liver Building, which led to this video. Go to [ Ссылка ]


For many years, the fact that he designed the famous birds was hushed up. Only in recent years has he achieved full recognition. It's fitting that in an international, pro-European city like Liverpool, the designer of its most famous symbol was a migrant from Germany. In honour of Carl Bernard Bartels, I've also created a German version of this video. You can view it here: [ Ссылка ]
