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.

hiii emy i hope you are ok lately, i love seeing ur presence on the timeline
is there an underrated part of germany u would recommend ppl check out
what are some ways you give yourself grace / are gentle to urself?
what is your favourite playlist lately
-- wiz not on anon lmfao
hi wiz! i'm doing okay, just ready for exam season and this semester to be over. this got very long, so my answers are below the cut 🫠
1. there actually are a lot of beautiful places in germany! you can get a little bit of everything here, coasts, lakes, castles, stalactite caves, mountains, beautiful old towns and so on and so forth, it just depends on where you are.
some castles: burg hohenzollern, schloss neuschwanstein (1st picture), reichsburg cochem, schloss schwerin, schloss braunfels, schloss celle, schloss nordkirchen, schloss drachenburg (2nd picture), burg eltz (3rd picture), schloss moritzburg, schloss wernigerode (schloss is german for castle, if that wasn't obvious by now)
picture source
✨️nature✨️: the devil's wall in the harz mountains (rock formation of sandstone and chalk), the stubbenkammer and the königsstuhl on rügen (two most famous formations in the chalk cliffs), the saalfeld fairy grottos (stalactite cave; 1st picture), the bastei in saxon switzerland (sandstone formation and natural monument; 2nd picture), the hainich national park (beautiful deciduous forest, unesco world heritage site), the old castle rocks in the palatinate forest (group of red sandstone rocks), the sea of rocks in the oden forest (large block accumulation of dark gray quartz diorite), the extern stones in the teutoburg forest (striking sandstone rock formation), the morsum cliff on sylt (steep coast in a unique geotope in europe), the lüneburg heath (flat undulating heath, geest and forest landscape; 3rd picture) (never realised we had so many rocks lol)
picture sources
some waters: the triberg waterfalls in the black forest (highest waterfall in germany), the königssee in the berchtesgadener land (1st picture), the mecklenburg lake district (including the müritz, the biggest lake in germany), the blautopf in the swabian alps (karst spring with intensely blue water due to its lime content), the waldnaab valley in the upper palatinate, lake constance (in the foothills of the alps between germany, austria and switzerland), the eibsee in the wetterstein mountains (2nd picture) (see is lake in german)
picture sources
old towns (with timbered houses and all that jazz): quedlinburg, heidelberg, rothenburg ob der trauber (1st picture), lübeck, erfurt, meersburg, trier, dinkelsbühl, marburg, freiburg, wismar, bamberg (2nd picture)
picture sources
there also are plenty of nice museums and so much more, but this is already way too long. in short, you'll find a lot of gems aside from the big cities (which usually really aren't that great lmao).
2. permitting myself to take longer for things than other people. for example, i've recently (mostly) come to terms with the fact that i will need significantly more than the three years standard period of study to get my bachelor's degree, for a bunch of reasons, and i am constantly reminding myself that that's nothing to be ashamed of. my reasons are valid and taking the time i need does not make me less qualified to get this degree.
3. i've been making a lot of f1 playlists lately which is a lot of fun and my favourite is one i haven't completely finished and posted yet 🤭 this one is for a much beloved ship so i want it to be as accurate as possible.
thank you for the questions <3
anonymously message me (3) things you want to know about me.
