After leaving Frankfurt City, Ye Chao felt that he had done two good things. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

One of the good things was that he felt that he had avenged the women of the Eight-Nation Coalition who had been murdered by the Germans.

The second good thing is that he felt that he also avenged the Chinese men at that time, and also washed away their sins for the German army back then.

Of course, the third good thing is not worth mentioning.

He thinks that his generosity has taken care of many businesses in Frankfurt City, and has bought many gifts for those girls, bringing happiness to their bodies and minds, and some of them have almost been taken to the Western Elysium by him, not because he is afraid that they will become immortals and become Buddhas, minus the population of Frankfurt City, which will affect their happy life, so he did not let them stay in Elysium.

What a nice person, and send money and joy to girls.

And by the way, he took revenge on the people who were harmed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, this is curve revenge, right? It doesn't affect world peace at all, and it seems to be very popular.

Then again, near Frankfurt train station, there is the world-famous red ...... Lamp...... District, in Germany, prostitution ...... Women are legal, they have to be taxed, and their human rights are protected by law.

However, Ye Chao did not take care of their business, because they did not owe men or business, she was only interested in those young German girls who were knowledgeable, cultivated and temperamental.

He will take them to taste food, to drink fine wine, to enjoy all kinds of entertainment, to buy beautiful clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, and of course, to invite them to live in the best hotel and sleep in the best bed, and most importantly, to invite them to enjoy the joy of life in the same bed and dance with Ye Chao, eh......

That's it, that's it, the demonic Ye Chao feels that he is a super good man in the new world.

The legendary national husband has wood?

"I have been a national husband in France, and he is still willing to be a super national husband in Germany again, ah no, it's not a national husband, it should be called a good husband from China......" Thinking of this, the demonic Ye Chao smiled smugly.

It's called ...... Be complacent.

Beautiful Frankfurt is getting farther and farther away from Ye Chao......

Now, transportation on earth is so convenient that one can fly around a country in a single day, and it doesn't take much time to get from south to north and east to west.

Leaving the beautiful Frankfurt, Ye Chao felt that he wanted to see the castles in Germany.

That's right, he went to see Neuschwanstein Castle, the most famous castle in Germany.

Neuschwanstein Castle is a symbol of Germany.

Since it is the prototype of Disney Castle, it is also called Cinderella Castle.

Neuschwanstein Castle was built in 1869. The castle was one of the residences of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

Of the 360 rooms, only 14 were completed according to design, while the remaining 346 were left unfinished due to the death of the King in 1886, making it the most photographed building in Germany and one of the most popular tourist attractions.

No other country in the world has as many castles as Germany, which is said to still have 14,000.

Among the many castles, the most famous is Neuschwanstein Castle in the foothills of the Alps, south of Munich.

Named after the medieval legend of the Swan Knight, Neuschwanstein Rock Castle is just over 100 years old.

Opposite the Neuschwanstein Castle is the summer residence of the king's childhood, the Old Swan Rock Castle, the high mountain plains and the big lake shaped the romantic and fairy tale character of the young king, and the new hall of romantic fairy tales was conceived in this pale yellow Old Swan Rock Palace.

The founder of Neuschwanstein Castle was one of the Bavarian kings, Ludwig II. This king has no talent for governing the world, but he is full of artistic temperament. He was personally involved in the design of the castle. There are a large number of German swan sculptures inside.

He dreamed of building the castle into a fairytale world.

As the white castle rises high on a hill, it is surrounded by mountains and lakes. So throughout the year, the scenery is different.

Neuschwanstein Castle is the world of Ludwig II's dreams, a world of beauty in its own right. He lived a lonely life, either in the face of political conspiracy or personal attacks.

In that revolutionary era, he was dissatisfied with his status in vain, and tried to change it without being able to do so, so he often contradicted the opinions of the elders in the cabinet. His association with the famous composer Wagner was strongly opposed by cabinet members and the people because of his excessive profligacy and lack of separation between public and private.

Wagner was eventually forced to leave Munich, which made Ludwig II even more disgusted with Munich and fell in love with a world in the Bavarian mountains where he felt happy and at ease.

In Germany, Ludwig II built this extravagant castle in 1868 in southwestern Bavaria, intent on creating his own fairytale world to escape from reality.

In 1886, seven weeks after his death, the castle was opened to the public for a fee, and has since become one of the most visited castles in Europe.

Disneyland? Sleeping Beauty Castle, as well as many modern fairytale castles, is also inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle, which looks so magical!

Behind this beauty and romance lies the tragedy of a young king.

His master was King Ludwig II of the Kingdom of Bavaria, who was born on August 25, 1845, and was fond of opera and stage plays since childhood.

It must be mentioned that this young king was a friend of Bismarck, the iron-blooded Prime Minister of Prussia, and when the two leaders, who were not too different in age, met, they suddenly realized that they had met each other, and they became friends.

One is young and romantic, the other is old-willed as iron, and their friendship is surprising to future generations.

However, the king's love life was full of tragedy, and his childhood was spent with his young cousin, the future Queen Sisi of Austria, who married to Austria at the age of 15 when his feelings for love began to become hazy.

Her beautiful shadow left a deep and indelible mark on the young prince.

In one of his letters, the young prince addressed Princess Sissi, the person who knew him best.

Princess Sissi had also worked hard to find a suitable girl for her cousin, and at that time, the young king also excitedly said that he had found the home of his lifelong affection.

However, the relationship came to an abrupt end.

This near-successful marriage was very traumatic to the king, and from then on he indulged in the fantasy of a stage play.

Later, the king was so moved by Wagner's play that he decided to build this white fairytale castle to create a backdrop for Wagner's stage plays, where the moving story of the brave knight and the beautiful princess could be staged.

In 1869, on the site of Swan Castle in southern Bavaria, he sketched out the world of his dreams, Neuschwanstein Castle.

Neuschwanstein Castle was an unfinished dream of Ludwig II.

After his feelings for his cousin were shattered, his love life went blank: at the age of 22, he suddenly announced the dissolution of his marriage to the Bavarian princess Sophie two days before the wedding, and he never married after that.

He himself was not understood by the world, so he hid in his own world, did not show his head easily, and even chose to travel at night when he traveled far away.

Dissatisfied with reality, he devoted himself to creating his own fairy tale world. On June 12, 1886, on the eve of the castle's completion, the single and fantastical young king inspected the castle for the last time, and on his way back to Munich, he disappeared into the night, and the next morning the bodies of the king and Dr. Gooden were found in the lake.

And just five days earlier, the Bavarian State Medical Council had declared Ludwig II mentally ill.

He was only 41 years old at the time. Ludwig's death left his family with a debt of 15 million marks and an unfinished dream (the work was stopped after the death of Ludwig II). Until the sixties of the last century, the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle was dismissed as stupidity.

The vicissitudes of the world, the Germans turned Ludwig II's dream into reality, and the Neuschwanstein Castle, which cost a lot of money to build, became a big money-maker in the German tourism industry, and the castle in exchange for the blood of the king is the main source of income for this town, and more than a million tourists have come here to enjoy this fairytale castle, becoming one of the most popular tourist attractions in Germany.

In a letter to the composer Wagner on May 15, 1868, King Ludwig II mentioned his desire to build a castle on the ruins of the former Highland Castle, in a style taken from medieval German knights' castles.

The construction of Neuschwanstein Castle was in fact the abolition of the two old castles, which were removed in 1868 after the water pipes were laid out and the roads were built. A large platform was built on the top of the hill and the foundation stone of the main body of the castle was laid on September 5, 1869.

Ludwig II was anxious during the construction of the castle and often used a telescope to monitor the progress of the work from his father castle in Hohenschwangau, the first to be completed was the gate.

In 1873, when the construction of the fort began, 200 temporary shelters were built at the bottom of the fort to provide food and tourism.

By 2009, these temporary premises had become the famous "Zur Neuen Burg".

In 1872 alone, 450 tons of cement and 1,845 cubic meters of lime were used.

Between 1879 and 1880, conservative estimates used 465 tons of marble from Salzburg. 4,550 tonnes of stone, 400,000 bricks, 3,600 cubic metres of sand, 600 tonnes of cement, 50 tonnes of hard coal, and 2,050 cubic metres of wooden scaffolding had to be transported to the west of the castle by steam cranes, and then to the second intermediate station by means of a vehicle with a body that could tilt the loads diagonally.

Next, with a precisely calculated pulley block and a high-safety project, the technology is still supervised by the very famous TUV (The Bavarian Steam Boiler Monitoring Union).

During the construction period that lasted for more than ten years, the technology and manpower invested were even more amazing.

According to records, from design to completion, a total of 6.2 million marks were spent.

Due to the complexity of the factors involved, in the case of the project, it may not be possible to calculate the correct answer due to the fact that it will take 17 years and due to changes in the value of the currency.

Neuschwanstein Castle is decorated with swan daily necessities, tents, murals, and even the tap of the toilet is decorated with the shape of a swan.

In terms of domestic water in the fort, a cistern was built in a valley 200 meters high to store the clean water flowing from the cracks in the rocks, and the water pressure of natural power was used to provide water for the entire fort, including the top floor.

For example, there is a swan-shaped water supply device in the dormitory, and when the tap is turned, clean water flows out of the tap. In addition, there is a boiler room on the inside of the kitchen, and the whole palace is warmed by warm air, which is not enough in the harsh winter, and a roll hoist is installed to send fuel to the stove to all floors.

The design of the Saengersaal and the Ritterbad (Knights' Baths) in Swanstein Castle was based on the design drawings of Waltburg.

In addition, Ludwig was influenced by the Spanish Moorish architectural style. He wanted to make Swanstein Castle a fantastical Germanic world in the works of composer Wagner.

The design of the castle was mainly entrusted to the theatrical set designer Christian? Designed by Christian Jank. Typical Gothic architectural details can be found throughout the castle, while all the doors, windows, columns and cloisters are Baroque.

Perhaps because of the name Neuschwanstein Castle, all the faucets as well as the furniture and room accessories throughout the castle are in the shape of swans. The interior of the castle is lavishly decorated with meticulous craftsmanship, from the ceilings, lighting, walls to everyday utensils.

From Augsburg to Füssen, the scenery along the train alone will make you reverie. This fairyland-like place hides ancient folklore about magic, kings, and knights, as well as endless primeval forests, gentle slopes, endless green fields with herds of cattle and sheep, snow-capped Alps and endless lakes.

Neuschwanstein Castle has a unique look that has inspired many modern fairytale castles, including Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in California and Hong Kong Disneyland.

Tokyo Disneyland and Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, USA, are inspired by some castles in Germany, notably Chacirc; teau d'Usse。

After entering the gate of the castle, you can see that the entrance, windows, and colonnades are all semi-circular arches, which is one of the characteristics of Romanesque architecture.

Behind the wall is an arch called the blind arch, under the eaves and under the window, there are blind arches with small round heads, followed by several living rooms of the king, all of which are Gothic buildings and decorated with frescoes painted by characters from the Middle Ages in Wagner's operas.

The king's palace is 15 meters high and 20 meters long. Mosaic floor, on which an ellipse in the shape of a globe is depicted, with patterns of animals and plants on it. This is a very special piece.

The dome of the palace symbolizes the stars in the sky moving in the same direction as the sun, and the dendritic stands made of gold-colored brass plates are sharply shaped like Byzantine crowns. The lamp is also inlaid with imitations of glass stone and ivory, and 96 candles can be lit and hung between the sky and the earth, symbolizing the king's position.

The hanging dendrite, which weighs about 900 kilograms (2,000 pounds) and is mounted at the top of the auditorium with an iron chain and a removable pulley lock, may have been used to raise and lower the dendrites to the floor in this way to clean it or replace used night lighting fixtures.

However, the king never saw the lampstand, as it was not placed until his death in 1904 that it was placed in the throne hall, where the lower pillars were made of porphyry painted with purple stucco, and the upper part was painted with blue-gold stucco.

Leaving the doors of the palace, you can see a number of heated centers built into the floor, five large heating stoves installed on the first floor, supplying the interior of the main castle of the complex with proper geothermal heat, the king's apartments, and the additional built-in tiled stove.

After Ye Chao visited the castle, it was really an eye-opener and breathtaking for him.

"As a failed king, it is ......amazing to be able to make a name for himself with a huge castle," Ye Chao said, naturally the German King Ludwig II who was full of artistic temperament.
