No building by Ludwig II cost more money than the magnificent building on an island – and the Bavarian regent did not like the area that much. Explorations in a place that, like its builder, is not yet fully illuminated.

There is no way a man who is constantly plagued by toothache can be happy, even if he is a king. A prominent victim of his broken teeth was the Bavarian regent Ludwig II, who on the one hand was a visionary builder, but on the other hand had to give in to his pain like a heap of misery. When the historian Marcus Spangenberg, who knows the life of Ludwig II like no other, recites the litany of Ludwig’s dental disaster, a swelling phantom pain inevitably sets in in the fillings of his listeners. The descriptions are mentally almost unbearable, but at this point at the latest you know that not everything was better in the past.
