With the architectural characteristics of the German Middle Ages, there is a legendary king's life story, when Qu Lihua listened to Robin tell, I feel that it is more endowed with the thickness and charm of Neuschwanstein Castle, life in the world, not everything can be as desired, this king, in Qu Lihua's view, he was born with a noble status, has the rich material conditions that ordinary people have never had, has power, should have lived a very happy life.

But it backfired, the king's life was not satisfactory, what he wanted to do, he was always opposed by others, the struggle was very fierce, Robin did not specifically introduce what happened in that era, as a descendant, he didn't care too much about what happened in the Middle Ages, without Robin's introduction Qu Lihua can probably guess that there are always people who have different opinions from this king, who are hindering it, and his views are different.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, the story of the rivers and lakes has been continuing, never stopped, what kind of environment, what kind of characters, what kind of plot, although they are different, but they are disturbed, and they are always staged.

When I came here, people can really relax, and what I couldn't think of before, I was indifferent and figured it out, maybe this is the wisdom of life that Qu Lihua got from here.

Robin took the group to Goschwanstein Castle, which bears a similar name to Neuschwanstein Castle and was a jewel of the German Romantic period, which was built in the 12th century and became the central theme of court lyric poetry.

"Robin, I have found that you German medieval people were very fond of building castles, and the characteristics of castles were similar, they looked solemn and solemn, and the colors were either white or pale yellow, and they were rarely too fancy, unlike the Venetian towns, which were decorated with colorful colors. Qu Lihua said.

Robin nodded, "Yes, these two castles are a bit similar in style, they are both medieval buildings, and they were all built by wealthy people, the builder of Neuschwanstein Castle is a king, and the owner and builder of Golwanstein Castle is a knight of Schwangau, they are all very high-status people, their aesthetics are different from the commoners of Venice, the ordinary people of Venice like bright colors, each family has to be different from the other, to be creative, they use different colors of paint to paint the exterior walls of their houses." ”

"So we see that the exterior walls of the houses in the Venetian town are very bright and colorful, and the two castles we see now were built by kings and knights, and their aesthetics are different from those of the people of Venice, they emphasize the unity of style, the decorative themes in the rooms are prominent, and some paintings with artistic value are retained, which look more stylish. ”

"Oh, that's how it is!" Qu Lihua understood, and was very interested in the knight mentioned by Robin, and then asked Robin to introduce the owner of this castle.

Silpotter of Schwangau was one of the many knights who left his name and was the court lyricist in the "Heidelberg Songbook", the knight of Schwangau was originally the owner of the fiefdom of Viffen and Stephen, and was a frequent guest here, and the last Storfingian, Prince Conradin who was beheaded in Napoli at the age of 16, once lived here.

In the 16th century, all the knights of Schwangau died, the castle was on the verge of collapse and was severely damaged during the Napoleonic Wars of 1800-1809.

The destructiveness of the war is very great, every time a war is waged, many buildings will be destroyed in the war, Germany is also very close to France, the two countries are at war, many innocent people will be harmed, even the castles built by the rich will be destroyed, and after being destroyed, they have not been repaired for a long time.

Due to the castle's excellent location, the then Crown Prince Maximilian, who later became King Maximilian II and father of King Ludwig II, bought the ruins and renovated them between 1832 and 1836, and many famous artists of the Romantic period, such as Moritz von Schwynd, Dominique Kvario, etc., are able to visit the 14 rooms of the castle today, thanks to them.

"Oh!" everyone nodded, listening to Robin tell the history of this castle, it was still very vicissitudes and emotions.

Meng Wenjie also has a feeling, "The war destroyed a lot of buildings, this castle is still very lucky, it can be restored, in fact, there are still many houses that have not been repaired, can be preserved to this day, so that future generations to visit and travel, with historical value, it is still not easy!"

"Yes, let's tell you the story of the king we mentioned earlier, where the fairytale king Ludwig II of Bavaria spent most of his life and met Wagner. ”

"Wagner never set foot in Neuschwanstein Castle and the Royal Palace of Chiemsee, and the romantic style in Hoschwanstein Castle had a great influence on the character of King Ludwig II, who spent his childhood and adolescence here, lived for a long time, and therefore had a lot of affection for the castle, and a person's growth was very related to his family of origin and the environment in which he grew up, and the fate of life was also closely related to the environment and connections in which he lived. ”

"This king has his luck, he was born very well, he has no worries about food and clothing, he does not have to work all day like ordinary people, he can only earn a meager salary, and he has to support a large family, but this king's life road is not smooth, and there are many troubles. ”

The king's bedroom was decorated according to the work of the Italian poet Tocquevado Tasso, and in 1870 when King Ludwig II was lying on his sickbed with a toothache, Bismarck's envoy, Count Holstein, came here and presented him with the famous "Emperor's Edict", and after several hours of negotiations, the ailing King signed the election of Wilhelm I as Emperor of Germany.

Ludwig II's indulged in personal fantasies caught the ire of royal conservatives, and his deposition in June 1886 on the grounds of mental illness and his mysterious death a few days later on Lake Steinberg while walking with his doctor put an end to his life in a sad and regrettable way.

Robin took everyone to see the portrait of this king, and to Qu Lihua's surprise, this king was tall and handsome, with a fair face, a high nose bridge, and deep eyes, which looked eye-catching.

"Wow, when this king was young, he was really handsome, he was a handsome guy, it's a pity, if he lived in our time, with his handsome appearance, how many girls would chase after him and scream wildly!"

"Hahaha......" Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "He is indeed very handsome, his portrait looks amazing, but unfortunately, he is depressed, and he has a bad relationship with those conservatives, he dreams of the world, conservatives can't understand it, and it will slander him for being mentally abnormal, and finally become a victim, which is intolerable in the era he lives in!"
