Bavarian Castles Neuschwantein, Gerrenkimze and Lindergoff can be added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2025. Germany has already submitted a complete package of documents to UNESCO in Paris to include the residences of the Bavarian King Ludwig II in the world cultural heritage. The filing was made on time, in accordance with the deadlines for new applications.
The proposal will be considered by UNESCO experts, and then it will be included in the list of candidates for voting in the summer of 2025. The residences of Ludwig II, namely Neuschwantein, Gerrenkimze, Lindergoff and royal estate on Shakhen, are considered as exceptional works of art.
The process of preparation of the application has taken about a quarter of a century, including a referendum in the Schwangu community, where Neustein Castle is located. This referendum was important to support the local population. Only Neustein Castle visits about 1.4 million people annually.
Ludwig II castles are exceptional works of art of historicism. They realized the dreams of the "fairy -tale king" and reflect the development of staging as a phenomenon of the nineteenth century. Ludwig II has already fallen in love with German legends and legends, and becoming a king, he turned these stories into a reality, creating his own world for himself.
The castles served as scenery scenery, and sketches of scenery for Richard Wagner's operas, such as Longen and Tangeer, were used in their creation. These residences include Neuschwanstein, Gerrenkimze, Lindergoff and royal estate in Shakhen.
The Gerrenkimze country Palace, located on the island in the middle of Lake Kimze, was conceived as the Bavarian Versailles. Linderhoff became the only castle that was fully completed during Ludwig II's life. The application also includes a royal estate on Shakhen - a small house built for a King in the style of a Swiss chalet.
Now more than fifty cultural and natural monuments of Germany are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. This initiative is intended to identify and store unique world heritage objects for future generations.
