Neuschwanstein is known all over the world as a symbol of idealised romantic architecture and for the tragic story of its owner. After losing sovereignty in his own kingdom, Ludwig II withdrew into his own world of myths, legend and fairytales.

you climb up and hope for rich rewards.
Yet the walls is not safe,
whoever enters it is not ungeschor'n it,
because in the throne room in it, because the Queen reigns,
and to have everything from you!
And the princess holds the frog in her lap
and throws the Prince against the wall.
In this castle, its towers schau'n into the country, waiting for a fairy tale world.
The good fairy friendly hands you her hand when she joins you.
the best maid at the whole court
takes you discreetly into her room,
but before the door monitors the Valkyrie
and forbid your research step too.
Pull yourself merely in mind if the old witch laughs -
which puts Hansel in the oven!
And the princess throws the Prince against the wall
until it falls as a frog.
