About Schreiber-Bogen Neuschwanstein Castle Card Model
From the Manufacturer The history of the Neuschwanstein Castle: This famous construction, located in the vicinity of Füssen, Allgäu was built on top of a rugged rock above a deep ravine. The octagonal tower is 76 meters high. The idea for this castle was conceived by King Louis II of Bavaria. In the mountains surrounding the castle the King wanted to create an enclave just for himself, allowing him to withdraw and to escape the troubles of everyday life. On 5th September 1869 the construction began. Under the supervision of Eduard Riedel the portal structure was completed as the first section of the entire complex. During this time a score of artists and architects worked on a design for the interior. The various suggestions were turned into detailed plans given to artisans by Julius Hofmann, who was in charge of the project from 1884 on. The King demanded drawings in color and gold for each detail. The restoring of the castle took up 17 years however, it was never finished. The small castle, formerly occupied by robber barons, was refurbished into a monumental neoromantic structure with obvious resemblance to castle Wartburg located in the vicinity of Eisenach. This main part of the structure boasts 4 floors containing glamorous halls and rooms, leaving many a visitor speechless. It seems taken right out of the middle of a fairy tale. King Louis II resided in his private premises on the third floor of the palace. The murals depict scenes from the lay of the Nibelungs, from "Lohengrin", "Tristan and Isolde", "Edda". Louis II viewed Castle Neuschwanstein as the Parcival’s castle of the Holy Grail. The two rooms between his working room and his living room Louis II had turned into a grotto, including an artificial waterfall illuminated by electric light. The funds for the restoring of the castle solely came from the King’s personal assets. Tools needed to complete construction: mid-sized scissors, modeling knife, water-based glue, ruler or triangle, and modeling pins. Tools Not Included.
