Schloss Drachenburg Palace is located in Königswinter, Germany. Constructed upon Drachenfels hill in the late 19th century, the castle was built for the broker and banker, Baron Stephan von Sarter, who passed away in France before ever taking up residence. Taking only two years to construct, this mixture of castle, palace, and mansion was completed by 1884. The baron’s nephew, Jakob Biesenbach, purchased the property from the estate and decided to make the castle a tourist attraction. He demolished one of the castle farms on the property, replaced it with a Swiss-style-built hotel, and added some Nordic summerhouses to the property. The castle became a type of community house with a restaurant in the basement and a massive art gallery, with art available for purchase. The property was eventually auctioned in 1923, and in 1930, the entire property was given to the Catholic order and turned into a Christian Boys Boarding School known as St. Michael’s. Under pressure from the National Socialists, the school closed in 1938. In 1942, under Hitler, it became a school for Nazi training. This turned the property into a type of battleground, and many things were destroyed. It underwent restoration in 1947 by the German Rail Regional Office and was used as their training center, but by 1970, the palace had stood vacant for ten years and fell into disrepair. A demolition was planned but fought, and a new private owner took possession of the castle in 1971. New owner Paul Spinet restored the property and opened it to the public. He passed away in 1989, but not before the castle was listed as a historical monument in 1986.

Wind Horses | Soul of nature

Pantao Stelzen Theatre (German theater)

▪︎ About the concept of the wind horse goes back to the shamanistic traditions of East Asia and Central Asia, where it is the symbol of the human soul. ▪︎ For Tibetan Buddhism the wind horse is the bearer of good fortune and fulfills wishes from personal aspirations to attaining enlightenment. ▪︎ For the Native Americans of the Choktaw tribe, the legend of wind horse that tells how horses were given to Native Americans as friends, in recognition of the bond the Wind Horse formed with his last rider.

▪︎ Wind Horses, or “Windpferde” in German, are large, puppet-like models that take on cloud- or ghost-like equine forms. These airy apparitions are manipulated on long poles, held high above the audience by skilled operators.

The magic of Wind Horses lies in their graceful movement. Their manes and tails dance in the wind; their dark eyes appear focused and thoughtful, and their heads tilt while their bodies seem to gallop and trot. These intricate puppetry techniques combine to create the mesmerizing illusion of horses gliding gracefully through the air.

During the performance, the sounds of neighing and breathing fill the air, further blurring the line between illusion and reality.
