In part one, Ludwig II reluctantly became king when his father died. But instead of leading his country, he poured his money and time into the operas of Richard Wagner. Now, members of the king's own government are plotting his demise. But this only makes Ludwig dive deeper into his next flight of fantasy: building giant castles. As the bills rack up, so does reality. Ludwig's obsession with fantasy worlds is about to make his real life a living nightmare.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
You might not know his name but you probably know his legacy. King Ludwig II of Bavaria was known as the “Fairy Tale King” due to his extreme love of the arts. He funded famous operas and built extravagant castles – including one that inspired Walt Disney. But he also ignored his duties and refused to lead, choices that eventually cost him his crown…and his life. In part one of our two part series, Ludwig finds an escape from his lonely upbringing by hiding in fantastical stories. But he's about to find out it will take a lot more than opera to keep his kingdom happy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

King Ludwig II of Bavaria was an enigmatic figure who was deposed in 1886, mysteriously drowning three days later. Eccentric to the point of madness, history tells us that in the years before he died Ludwig engaged in a worldwide search for a new kingdom, one separate, apart, and in lieu of Bavaria. A place he could retreat into and rule as he wished. But a question remains: did he succeed? Enter Cotton Malone. After many months, Malone's protégé, Luke Daniels, has managed to infiltrate a renegade group intent on winning Bavarian independence from Germany. Daniels has also managed to gain the trust of the prince of Bavaria, a frustrated second son intent on eliminating his brother, the duke, and restoring the Wittelsbach monarchy, only now with him as king. Everything hinges on a 19th century deed which proves that Ludwig's long-rumored search bore fruit--legal title to lands that Germany, China, and the United States all now want, only for vastly different reasons. In a race across Bavaria for clues hidden in Ludwig's three fairytale castles--Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee--Malone and Daniels battle an ever-growing list of deadly adversaries, all intent on finding the last kingdom.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

On the 13th of June 1886, the body of Ludwig II, the so-called Mad King of Bavaria, was found floating in two feet of water on Lake Starnberg, Germany. The official verdict given by the authorities was suicide by drowning. But the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, and the strange events that took place in the lead up to it have led many to believe it was no suicide. Instead, they believe he was in fact killed by his own government, who have covered up his murder for over 100 years. If you unravel the life of this unconventional monarch, you reveal the story behind one of Germany's most enduring mysteries. A king loved by his people but hated by his government. Throughout his life, the young king did repeatedly test the patience of his ministers. More interested in music, the arts and architecture, the royal's fascination for the whimsical seemed to leave little time for affairs of state. With expenditures growing and debts mounting as he chased his dreams for romantic architecture, is it only a story that his government would form a plot to seize power? The death of King Ludwig II of Bavaria has been the subject of intrigue and investigation for over a century. How did a king once famous for his eccentric behaviour and fairy-tale castles end up being declared insane, removed from his throne, and found floating face down in shallow water near the shores of a remote Lake? In this episode we explore the history of Bavaria's supposedly mad king and question was his death the result of a deteriorating mental state, or were more darker forces at play?

This week we are taking a look at the life of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. He was an unusual king with an unusual rule. He preferred to live in the fantasy world in his head rather than in the real world. He became overly obsessed not only with Medieval German folklore, but also the composer Richard Wagner, whose work also centered around German folklore. He was referred to as Mad King Ludwig, and the story of his death is as mysterious as his life. Special Guests: Katelyn & Stefan Apologies for the background and mic noises on this one.

A famous neuroscientist diagnosed Ludwig with schizophrenia. Days later, both of them were found dead. We dig into the autopsy reports to find the truth. Plus: A terrible Adele impersonation.

Musique Mécanique par le Théâtre Électrique :: "Once Upon a Dream" by Peter Tchaikovsky In 1869, King Ludwig II, the Mad King of Bavaria, began to exhibit fits of chaotic behavior in his Courtiers' presence, demanding his soldiers round up random citizens for arrest for no reason (or treason) and declaring war on random countries thinking nothing of the consequences on his subjects, or their continued inability to get a decent night's sleep lest they wake to yet another strange and unexpected act of the King's madness that would ruin their entire day before breakfast, if not their life...One morning, the Courtiers were summoned to a secret cavern in the lowest levels of the King's Royal Halls, where a small indoor lake fed the moat of water surrounding the castle walls... A large hand carved wooden swan, the size of a boat suitable for two passengers to recline in comfort on gold satin pillows, floated languidly at the end of a short dock, carpeted in a plush red shag rug and supporting a length of violet velvet ropes, ensuring the safety of any guests on this tiny pier as they boarded the bobbing White Swan... The King's most trusted personal advisor and assistant gathered the Courtiers and told them King Ludwig had ordered this Swan Boat carved to entertain foreign and Royal Guests visiting the castle in private, and that even the King's greatest seizures of madness might be abated and diffused by treating the King to an idyllic ride on his beloved Great Swan Ship, with various visiting Kings and tyrants accompanied by a live orchestral performance of one very specific movement from the ballet “Sleeping Beauty” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky...
Episode: 2473 King Ludwig II and his castle at Neuschwanstein. Today, a swan on a mountain.
En este episodio de Detrás del Telón, escucharán una charla presentada por Gerardo Kleinburg y amablemente compartida por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y Descarga Cultura UNAM. Con esta entrega, Gerardo Kleinburg emprende un camino ambicioso y apasionante: hablar sobre la vida de Richard Wagner (Leipzig, Alemania, 1813-Venecia, Italia, 1883) y entrelazar su intensa y controversial biografía con la apreciación e historia de El oro del Rin, primera entrega de la tetralogía El anillo del nibelungo, obras que en su conjunto suman alrededor de 15 horas de música y que por su complejidad vocal, musical y de estructura cambiaron la historia del arte en occidente. Para Kleinburg, la vida del compositor alemán se funde y se confunde con su obra; para infortunio de quienes convivieron con él y fortuna de quienes ahora lo escuchamos, Wagner plasmó en sus libretos una megalomanía y egocentrismo propios de un genio. Gracias a la protección y apoyo total que Wagner recibió del rey Ludwig II de Baviera, quien lo admiraba desde que era príncipe, Wagner pudo llevar a buen puerto el proyecto de su vida, no solo la creación de estas cuatro óperas, con una genialidad sin precedentes, sino la construcción de un teatro especial para que la tetralogía completa fuera representada, una orquesta reformada y aumentada, la invención de instrumentos musicales y una nueva técnica vocal que exigía voces más potentes y resistentes a diferencia de los parámetros tradicionales. El 13 de agosto de 1976, 25 años después de que Wagner comenzara a poner las primeras notas de su tetralogía, se estrenó el ciclo completo tal como Wagner lo imaginó en el teatro construido por él mismo, situado en la comunidad de en Bayreuth. En esta misma serie, también encuentras los comentarios de Gerardo Kleinburg sobre Tristán e Isolda, del mismo compositor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Descarga Cultura UNAM and Gerardo Kleinburg present "Das Rheingold by Wagner." On this episode of Behind the Curtain, you'll be listening to a talk presented by Gerardo Kleinburg and graciously shared by the National Autonomous University of Mexico and Descarga Cultura UNAM. With this installment, Gerardo Kleinburg embarks on an ambitious and exciting path: talking about the life of Richard Wagner (Leipzig, Germany, 1813-Venice, Italy, 1883) and intertwining his intense and controversial biography with the appreciation and history of Das Rheingold, the first installment of the tetralogy "The Ring Cycle," works that together total nearly 15 hours of music and--due to their vocal, musical and structural complexity--changed the history of Western art. For Kleinburg, the life of the German composer merges with his work: To the misfortune of those who lived with him and the fortune of those of us who now listen to him, Wagner captured in his librettos a megalomania and self-centeredness typical of a genius. Thanks to the full protection and support that Wagner received from King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who had admired him since he was a prince, Wagner was able to bring the project of his life—not just the creation of these four operas—to fruition with uncompromising and unprecedented genius: The construction of a special theater for the complete tetralogy to be presented, a reformed and augmented orchestra, and the invention of musical instruments and a new vocal technique that required more voices more powerful than ever before. On August 13, 1976, 25 years after Wagner began composing this work, the complete cycle was released as Wagner envisioned it in the theater he built, located in the community of in Bayreuth. In this same episode you'll also find Gerardo Kleinburg's comments on Tristan and Isolde, by the same composer.
My guest today is Dietmar Mueller-Elmau, the third generation owner of famed retreat in southern Germany, Schloss Elmau. The property is set at the foothills of an unimaginably beautiful stretch of the Bavarian Alps, where you can hike, bike, swim, visit castles, and enjoy the spectacular views. Then you can relax in one of the 6 world-class spas and dine in a Michelin star restaurant. But these trappings of typical 5* hotels are not what defines Schloss Elmau. We talk a lot about contradiction in this episode but after reflecting on what Dietmar says, I think the place is more about intense individuality. Each visitor experiences Elmau in a different way. For intellectuals coming to meet others in lively discussion the property boasts the biggest hotel bookstore in the world, for music lovers, Elmau is the 2nd largest promoter of classical music in Germany and hosts almost 200 concerts per year. And families, outdoor enthusiasts, spa lovers, couples - Dietmar has made it possible for you to create your own experience as well. We discuss everything from Angela Merkel to fine dining, German-Jewish relations to the ideal pool temperature, and from WWII history to the architecture of King Ludwig II.

And have you ever seen Dan and King Ludwig II in the same room together...? 38:30 - A love letter to Bezier Games, Stonemaier Games’ Between Two Castles Of Mad King Ludwig is also super relaxing, and might just be better than the originals they’re taking inspiration from.

In this episode of Half-Arsed History, uncover the tale of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who was responsible for securing a great cultural legacy for his kingdom - including the construction of the magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle.
Lohengrin, WWV 75, is a Romantic opera in three acts composed and written by Richard Wagner, first performed in 1850. The story of the eponymous character is taken from medieval German romance, notably the Parzival of Wolfram von Eschenbach and its sequel, Lohengrin, written by a different author, itself inspired by the epic of Garin le Loherain. It is part of the Knight of the Swan tradition. The opera has inspired other works of art. King Ludwig II of Bavaria named his fairy-tale castle "New Swan Castle", or "Neuschwanstein", after the Swan Knight. It was King Ludwig's patronage that later gave Wagner the means and opportunity to compose, build a theatre for, and stage his epic cycle The Ring of the Nibelung. The most popular and recognizable part of the opera is the Bridal Chorus, better known as "Here Comes the Bride", often played as a processional at weddings in the West.

Musique Mécanique par le Théâtre Électrique :: "Once Upon a Dream" by Peter Tchaikovsky In 1869, King Ludwig II, the Mad King of Bavaria, began to exhibit fits of chaotic behavior in his Courtiers’ presence, demanding his soldiers round up random citizens for arrest for no reason (or treason) and declaring war on random countries thinking nothing of the consequences on his subjects, or their continued inability to get a decent night’s sleep lest they wake to yet another strange and unexpected act of the King’s madness that would ruin their entire day before breakfast, if not their life...One morning, the Courtiers were summoned to a secret cavern in the lowest levels of the King’s Royal Halls, where a small indoor lake fed the moat of water surrounding the castle walls... A large hand carved wooden swan, the size of a boat suitable for two passengers to recline in comfort on gold satin pillows, floated languidly at the end of a short dock, carpeted in a plush red shag rug and supporting a length of violet velvet ropes, ensuring the safety of any guests on this tiny pier as they boarded the bobbing White Swan... The King’s most trusted personal advisor and assistant gathered the Courtiers and told them King Ludwig had ordered this Swan Boat carved to entertain foreign and Royal Guests visiting the castle in private, and that even the King’s greatest seizures of madness might be abated and diffused by treating the King to an idyllic ride on his beloved Great Swan Ship, with various visiting Kings and tyrants accompanied by a live orchestral performance of one very specific movement from the ballet “Sleeping Beauty” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky...

In the 19th-century, King Ludwig II's buildings drained Bavaria's treasury. Now, as popular tourist sites, they rake money in. The fairy-tale king never saw Neuschwanstein Castle and the Herrenchiemsee Palaces completed.

The life of King Ludwig II of Bavaria; the eccentric 19th century king who built Germany's most iconic castle and died under mysterious circumstances.
Only days after he was deposed, King Ludwig II of Bavaria died in an apparent suicide. But was it murder? Or was it just the final act of a king who had gone mad with love and with passion, born into the wrong century?
Once upon a time there lived a king deep in the heart of the Bavarian forests. He loved music and stories and wanted to make a difference in world. Like so many who try to do the impossible, he was thought to be insane! Learn about King Ludwig II in this week's edition of the CoffeeHouse!

King Ludwig II of Bavara is also known as the Swan King and is also known as the Fairy Tale King. When he succeeded to the throne at the age of 18, he wanted everything except to rule. He hated being around the parties and the politics and instead chose to spend his time immersed in various forms of art. He spent his wealth and time as king constructing elaborate castles (one of which is the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's castle). He was accused of being insane and shortly after, died under mysterious circumstances. To this day, his cause of death of unknown.

Ludwig’s brother Otto is declared insane by Dr. Bernard von Gudden. Years later, the same doctor would rule Ludwig was also mentally ill. But is the King of Bavaria truly “mad,” or is this a government cover-up? On Part II of the Bizarre Death of King Ludwig II, Lauren dives in to the evidence and the theories surrounding this mysterious case.
June 13th, 1886. The King of Bavaria and his doctor are found floating face down in shallow water outside Berg Castle in present-day Germany. The government rules that King Ludwig II attacked his physician before drowning himself. But not everyone believes it, considering what happened in the days before the men’s deaths.
This episode takes a look at two similar appearing games that are actually very different. The category is Mad King Ludwig, who was actually King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The games we're talking about today are Castles of Mad King Ludwig and The Palace of Mad King Ludwig, which are both tile laying games but play very distinctly from each other.

AHHHH!!! I'm still blown away that I got to interview the amazing Dame Darcy. I've been obsessed with her work since the mid 1990s--she's not only an amazing artist/cartoonist/painter she's also a storyteller, musician (her project is called Death by Doll), film maker, fashion icon (she makes her own couture...Anna Sui and Courtney Love are fans too!), and outspoken feminist and environmentalist. She describes her style as Hillbilly Roccocco and I was completely tickled by all her references to a myriad of influences: King Ludwig II of Bavaria's Neuschwanstein Castle, Liberace, her 1920s boudoir doll named Isabelle, Ziggy Stardust, Grace Jones, Diana Ross (specifically the huge hair/shimmery huge eyed alien Diana of the 1970s), Laura Ingalls and Nellie Olsen (gingham! bonnets! the 19th century!)...and Adam Ant circa Stand and Deliver, the watching of which Dame Darcy says "broke her" in terms of setting in stone her idea of the dandy highwayman in the place of idealized masculinity. Please check out her website at damedarcy.com for info about her books, fine art, dolls, film, music and upcoming projects including "Meat Cake presents Voyage of Temptress"--a mutli-media video and story project. and please check dresscodecracker.com for a million pictures and links to all things meatcake, voyage of temptress, pirate mermaid and Dame Darcy!

Kelly & Tom recap Downton Abbey S4E7 and explore why the Dowager is dressed like an extra from Zoobilee Zoo, whether the Abbey is really just a halfway house for idiot servants, the potential success of a website called Witch Date, Daisy’s rapid transformation into Miss Havisham, exactly where a pig man’s place it (hint: it’s with the pigs), the madness and pointlessly panty-dropping hotness of King Ludwig II, the very unwelcome return of Mr. Green, the boot room of the upstairs, and Mary’s totally awesome bedroom. Kelly is still laughing about Clone High, Tom outlines The Duchess’ modus operandi, and though they don’t exactly apologize for all the things they’ve said about Baron Fellowes, they’d still love to have a chat with him.

In 1857, with the first two operas of a larger cycle completed, the composer left our teaser partway through Act II, and did not return to his hero until 1869. In the meantime, this composer wrote two operas, his marriage fell apart, he was kicked out of Vienna for debt, and he acquired his most influential patron, King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

Paula and Ayhan welcome their new co-worker to Radio D. They already have a pressing assignment: The late King Ludwig of Bavaria is supposedly still alive and the teams wants to investigate. Philipp meets his new co-workers Paula and Ayhan, as well as the eccentric Josefine, who is responsible for order in the office. There's not much time, though, since Philipp and Ayhan already have their first story. It is rumored that the legendary King Ludwig II of Bavaria is alive, even though he was supposed to have died under mysterious circumstances in 1886. The two journalists go to Neuschwanstein Castle to investigate and make a spooky acquaintance. Mysterious matters raise plenty of questions. In this episode, you can take a closer look at question words and responses.
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Richard Wagner who, perhaps more than any other composer, would seem to capture the greatest triumphs and most terrifying excesses of the German spirit. He lived as modern Germany was being born and his republicanism led to exile and nearly execution. He was a mentor of Nietzsche and a disciple of Schopenhauer and changed the face of opera perhaps more than any other single person. Wagner conducted several orchestras and numerous affairs, suffered poverty and rejection but was finally showered with wealth by King Ludwig II. When the Nazis played his music in the death camps was it a fitting tribute to a gross anti-Semite or a travesty for a man who believed in redemption through love and social equality? We ask to what extent can Wagner be typified as demonstrating the German spirit and what were his views on the function of art? With John Deathridge, King Edward the Seventh Professor of Music, Kings College London; Lucy Beckett, Author of Richard Wagner: Parsifal; Michael Tanner, Philosopher and author of Wagner and Nietzsche.
