Join German Historian Anette Isaacs in an exploration of “Mad” Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Although he once famously said, “I wish to remain an eternal enigma to myself and to others”, King Ludwig II is perhaps the most illustrious of all Germans. Best known as an eccentric whose love for art (especially the music of Richard Wagner) and architecture is legendary, the young King had a charmed but also tragic existence. Join German Historian Anette Isaacs as she unravels this “eternal enigma” and presents you with mesmerizing insights into the fairy tale King’s amazing life.
