Bavarian Fairy Tales
Serving as the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle, is the Neuschwanstein Castle (New Swan Stone Castle), originally intended as a personal refuge for Ludwig II of Bavaria, who is sometimes referred to as the Swan King. He also held the titles of Duke of Bavaria, and the Duke of Swabia. Swabia is a region in South Western Germany, representing the territory of Alemannia, which coincides with the Swabian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire, as it stood during the Early Modern period, now near south western Bavaria. Lohengrin is a character in German Arthurian literature, a knight of the Holy Grail sent in a boat pulled by swans to rescue a maiden who can never ask his identity.
