This multi-view postcard features a portrait of King Ludwig II of Bavaria alongside views of Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau Castle, the Alpsee, and the Bellat gorge waterfall with Marienbracke in Hohenschwangau. King Ludwig II of Bavaria, known as the "Swan King" or "Fairy Tale King," ruled from 1864 until his death in 1886. He is best remembered for his eccentricities and his legacy of commissioning lavish architectural projects in the Bavarian Alps, influenced by the romanticized mythology of Richard Wagner's operas. Hohenschwangau Castle, the yellow fortress depicted on the card, served as Ludwig's childhood summer residence after his father, King Maximilian II, rebuilt it from ruins between 1832 and 1837. Just across the valley, Ludwig began construction on his own masterpiece, Neuschwanstein Castle, in 1869. Today, both castles are located in the village of Hohenschwangau near Fassen and are among the most popular tourist destinations in Germany.
