pretty glad not to say anyone for an hour, kindly see the business of evening states. this is one of my favorite places because of the magnificent view of the whole bunch fund gold castle, i'd say lake city, and behind that to hold. the facade of noise feinstein is truly really famous. there are millions of outdoor shots, but it's storied interior is rarely seen. this is how it's been for more than 100 years. the contact phone response time egleston at no charge times. fame is also connected to

the appearance of the postcard as a medium for which it was constantly used to. that's one. spend this if this picture of nice lunchtime both inside and out, hadn't been sent around the world. it certainly would not be so famous today in the 21st century hargum, i just want to visit, i think for a name that i need to compare it to the eiffel tower. that isn't better than paris or the leaning tower, a piece of it, which has imbedded among many other sites. one stand here, you have a stand alone solution and get the sure it's in the dramatic the very and landscape . but it stands relatively alone. tele piece. i in status a fond started, and things fall off. nice, strong cheyenne is like a monument. on a pedestal. it emerges from the rocks and dominates the landscape like hardly any other building, somehow. and it's white eyes and white is seen as a symbol of purity. as the color of innocence comes, add to that another crucial factor integration into the natural landscape of the

time on the no other castle in such a grandiose location can offer that this is the village of holland fung go. it's here where visitors start their tour up to the castle. holdings found that has only $400.00 inhabitants, but about $2000000.00 visitors a year. the new 4 star hotel was recently opened here, with nearly $140.00 rooms at a spot. it's an attempt to keep the tourists in the village for longer stays, the many locals lived from the castle. but sometimes they also suffer because of it.

this is going to lead me long hug me the suspect, like the castle has been with me all my life. i gave him a notice lo seats. and if you see the castle for 365 days a year in your private life at home as well. and then you just want to pull back and draw the curtain long. so it'd be on your own for a while to see save a visit is, i mean, long runs, a souvenir shop. it's been in his family for 3 generations. his home is full of noise punched on merchandise to he's even turned his basement into a warehouse. the latest delivery of salt shakers has arrived. his family history reflects how marketing turns noise sponge, dine into a brand of swords. his grandfather took over the souvenir shop in 1934. very 6 to have cost that ticket volume to the most important sales item was the postcard. so besides that they were about $20.00 to $45.00 other objects for sale

fits it. so she's in the i think the one tight they have a today i sell about 1500 different items, i think in sacrament. his shop is located about a 100 meters below the castle. thank good. next you know, the bought the met him. his grandfather used to close the store for several months a year because there wasn't enough business. i mean, long now keeps it open all year around 7 days a week, up to 11 hours a day, 6 foot costs and the best seller for a few years. now has been fridge, magnets and different kinds in, i'm sorry, at the ceiling. and his shop is one of the few which still sells a lot of souvenirs that are actually made in germany. the federalist sizes dimensions. all the info who will often prize from the majority of people only look

at the price and none of the quality i is as soon as i get out of the can, this is strangely enough. it's chinese tourists who don't want anything made in china. kina on and are shown suspect though they take pains to only buy german or european things, especially the beer mugs they want made in germany. german product is coming in with the items for adopted this it costs. and so while you're good so it might cost more, but they're all hand made from stone. in contrast to products made in east asia or other european countries, explanation or the on the page and products. and this is, these are ceramic odami, it's 110. you're from an issue. so rising, so i have a complex to learn kazi nick, you by you

a few years ago. i mean long in large to shop by half, but he hasn't actually been up to the castle for nearly 4 decades. he doesn't like it there. he thinks it's too dark and crowded, but he's been down on the base motion. uh which one was it? however, his co worker be taking him has a different take on the castle. tell me about this just in mind. for me the castle was always like a paradise and it was exciting to come uh we had our own room and the people there . how to master keith. so i looked at all the rooms. please tell you knew everyone that was familiar and lovely computers. when i go up there today, it's over in 25 minutes. call me once. once a while. i'm still wondering whether i'm in the dining room or the bedroom. i'm

probably already in the dining room and it's incredibly fast paced now and that's a shame is initially noise punched on was not promoted overload, big the seconds, other buildings. it was just one of many castles in bavaria. hard to imagine today, the van comes a major turning point. the end of the 2nd world war and 1945 is that some sort of, it was the very was part of the americans occupation zone. and the americans took over the castles, the palaces of losing the 2nd were not reopened to the general public until the spring of 1946. when done, when the bavarian torres and machine began to market all the fluid fixed castles, but especially noise lunchtime about the north swan scott in the media painted noise punched on as a symbol of the revival of postwar germany. there was actually no connection at all

. but it worked all the same, more and more international visitors started coming, such as japanese and especially americans, a key player. and this development was walt disney. the, let's get pushing the can not invest in boy this various sources say that walt disney came here with his wife when see, and this is where he got the inspiration for cinderella's castle on this last and leave me millions of people experience that castle in orlando at disney world or disney land or, and talk you on the land and talk your trouble. in this respect, the idea of this castle has been taken around the world offices intend to right thing is that walt disney still somehow managed to make clear where the original stands for lots and lots of what is organized. the noise punched on, reinterpreted for american tastes. the 1st cinderella castle was built in

1955 the that's what this theory. let's quite conceivable that walt disney or his studio staff got even more ideas for their work from the castle. be from the minstrels gallery or seniors are born, where there is this picture of the far as often. no, the many even suspect that this illustration from the saga of the holy grail was a source of inspiration. for disney's bambi the be by the should toby's most game be how even if the bavarian tourist board pump millions into advertising, they wouldn't they would still never have the same effect as disney does for noise fungi automatically and free of charge of noise sponge done as an object of projection today, the castle's real history is largely hidden behind a few questions. if like

a fairy feels like something that's not real in america, we don't have anything like this. it's a very, very dish of near equity rate going on. so the artist story and mock responding back was only 8 years old when he visited noise punched on for the 1st time. since then, he's been collecting everything to do with its history. and the way it's been marketed. he's brought along the most absurd items in his huge collection like a bit of a castle roof, which cost about $80.00 yours. today and this elisha was a really bizarre and abstruse objects like this butter dish with noise, sponge, time depicted are from the seventy's. it is, it puts out doors it on why the collection is called nice launched on it all isn't

clear to manage right now. even the decoration has no relation to the castle kindly to some flaws during the naughty cell and friends of mine were in ireland and brought this allow me back with them. find a new orleans visas. i live here with the bosses. this head is, this is, was fairly in salamis sold in ireland. is german drama, supposedly it's good. what does allow me, i guess something extra was needed to underline the quality. so the view of noise finds time is added to the price and then the switch. but here in the money, i'm just point us once and up to the limit. i'm yet because i see a if you take something people perceive is very positive. that gives them a positive feeling. so then you connect that thing with one that's neutral, often enough places to once you've seen that connection 5 or 6 times and then the neutral thing suddenly becomes interviewed with the same emotion like the same positive attitude. time on the so this advertising is actually saying much more about noise sponge time than the thing itself because it says that noise sponge time a week is a positive emotion and that consumers close them in the recipient. mm hm. at that

point, the key for me to him, what's, don't be nick. this the noise launched on brand is highly lucrative, which is why the state of the various spent years in court trying to establish it as a trademark. the very a one, it's case and can charge licensing fees as well as prohibit companies from using it in their advertising. the castle is such an important advertising, simple and such a good source of revenue that it can be closed for restoration for even one day. everything has to be done during normal operations. here the minstrels hall is being restored teen and out of which is looking for her colleague. because he's supposed to be here to the minstrels hall is the largest room in the castle. and the restoration work is going on 8 meters above the tourists heads.

now you can see the details. so no, i think this is bullshit damage. right? exactly. yeah. like up on the ceiling. we'll hold the water also got down here. let me see what was tied very nice. there's something here. and these to the 1st and yet this is the 1st time we're doing this. if i really going, i've older seth says that it's necessary. it's of course, that's a big responsibility. i'm gonna finish the fun part though. on the ceiling alone, some 2000 individual areas need to be restored. mikaela costanza and 2 colleagues have been working on it for more than a year already. this is how the minstrels hall should look again. 5 which is pretty estimating cigna, so when i was 1st and dimensions whole to make the offer, this is the image i had with make one. yeah. so it's really, if you take the light alone and how it reflects off the gold yet, or how the color,

so your interact with the sculptures into someone within this group is really fascinating. this one is certainly see a 1st thing in the system right now. the scaffolding is taking a lot of the lightning, so the impacts of the sparkle is a bit reduce. i'm so is it, it does get in the it's 6 pm time for i mean, long to close up shop. you want something. okay . you pay and the stress has increased a lot in the last 30 years with more tourists, more souvenirs and longer opening hours. but it will all be over in a month. i mean, long is retiring. got 10 feet long,

a 109 bodies in my house calling for decades. and i've been setting up my shop in the morning, so i'm in cleaning it in the evenings on the time coming to see light on people come and want something then and hold me up also. and that's annoying. so i'll be glad when i'm done with it. now isn't that really, really? does somebody have the, i mean already has a successor lined up, you know, and tends to switch sides and to travel the world as a tourist. the

at 10 o'clock at night in the castle. the visitors had been gone for 4 hours, but the restoration doesn't stop. the hordes of tourists make it impossible to work on areas such as this doorway during the day. it's come from technology, they come up from the stairwells can only be right in the middle and then click testing. it's impossible for them to get past me license. they're usually also looking at the murals and have the audio guide. i'm going oh, so i think i probably get trampled underfoot. i think is for the body to add the carefully removing the layers of oil and dirt from the wooden doors is a tedious job and he still has several hours of work ahead of him tonight.

so the something that is confusing is also a special feeling in the sense that perhaps no one else is experiencing something like this right now. it's something unique. this is so scientific, i think is the every winter. something happens behind noise sponge times walls that visitors never get to see the huge chandelier and the throne room gets its annual spruce up at 8 in the morning when the swing visitors come into this great hall, the 1st thing they see is this gigantic chandelier. and the words you hear most is

about like, wow, this the chandelier weighs about a ton the i'm always amazed at how much the desk of the rezoning half a centimeter of dust from all over the world. and there's tiny fragments, bits of shoes, sol, so i knew that everything's in there, and so even dropped or skimming though, a stefan k been teacher, and 5 of his colleagues had been chosen to clean the chandelier. it's both a duty and an honor

if you were to go over it with a normal clause like you do at home and it would be like fine sandpaper, which would remove the thin layer of gold leaves. of course this must them happen, which is why we use soft lambs hairbrushes to avoid scratching the surface when we're cleaning it. they have less than an hour to finish the job. you need to stay sharp because we need to finish quickly. the 1st guest will be arriving, attending the shell. that sounds on the lookout, which shines. so it looks good. it's almost new. now we can put it back up and the job's done for another year.

winter used to be the low season and the staff could catch their breath, but they can't do that anymore. they say no response done is either busy or very busy. the combination of cold temperatures and tourist bringing lots of humidity into the castle is a major problem restore teen a number of which has been observing the consequences for years. for example, in the royal living room, the sophisticated this, this is more or less the coldest corner in the whole castle. that if it's because we have 30 high humidity it condenses on the cold surfaces as if you haven't, you know, it's even been completely, i stop here in winter because the walls are so incredibly cold due to the weather penetrating in from outside to force than imagine a cold be and a be a god, but the condensation running down the outside of the glass. that's how it is here

in the cold weather without the so these very cold surfaces are permanently went and salt dissolves into the plaster and phones. little needles, the press into the painting layer, leaving bit polasta underneath. the black the little puts in place a study by the fallen hole for institute shows just how big the moisture problem is . every year, taurus springs, 13 tons of water into the throne room alone. the remarkable thing is, most of it doesn't come into the castle through wet clothes, but is created solely by the visitor's breath and sweat the sheets list. i'm happy i deal with humidity and lots of castles, but here in noise font on it's on a completely different scale because the impacts revisit has is great to hear. but noise sponge done also has a great advantage. and the 19th century, good,

big the 2nd acquitted, with the latest technology such as this central heating system. it's no longer in operation. but the old heating shafts can be used for a modern ventilation system today. so it was just, it's great that look, think the 2nd to quit the whole castle with heating systems and as shops. because now we can use the shots without having to drill new ones. shakespeare said, even this is much kind to to the castle and we are really very grateful that the whole thing has been preserved for us from the time that's construction. busy yeah, and that loop with the 2nd was so forward looking at the fly. that's why the thing is, the full size sorted by tourists aren't aware that they're actually being blow dried in the entrance area. we've installed the

ventilation opening up here and log in. and that blows him dry and out, and then fax it again at the back to the idea of is to use the s cycles to pre drive the visitors from the office. they come in from outside and are often very wet. so to ensure they don't bring in and loss with moisture, i try to blow as much as again as possible, right here in the queue all with the visitors arrive in the plaza 4 months later on a rainy may day. a chinese tours group has just arrived in owen sean go when she, when use honeymooning with his wife they book the european tour because it takes in noise sponge time. i've only ever seen outdoor footage on tv, so we're really looking forward to finally seeing it from the inside. yeah.

it's a real shame. it's raining like this. you love bronco ha, this is the since the turn of the millennium, more and more chinese have been coming to noise, finds time using lang is retired n as in germany for the 1st time. and the end of the, this is one of the highlights of our journey. is that the what you want to know, sean stein is the most beautiful castle in the world. and the symbol of germany. the chinese best of nation with no response. dine has now gone so far that there is even a replica of it in china. the castle is a 4 star hotel and the northern chinese metropolis of donnelly, on its owner, went to the outgoing, especially to see the original. the most meticulous copy, however,

is in the world japan tile park is a home for the elderly and disabled since they can't travel, the homes operator has built the most famous site in the world on their doorstep. but only the outer facade is a copy of noise sponsored on the interior features several floors of the 3 d art installations. the the tour begins. most of the chinese group have never even seen a picture of the castles interior. the 42, it looks noble and luxurious like the middle ages to 50 and then it's all over of the

so can 30 minutes a day and it was wonderful. but i'd love to come back when the sun is shining and the renovation is finished to see everything without the scaffolding. it went way too fast to out the top of that being. we also see as i would have liked to have had more time inside and so that i could immerse myself better in the old culture. who can you go? same after just an hour in and around the castle. they're off again. next stop venice. as far as it goes, this coverage is called forced to looking at it. now it's hard to imagine that noise sponge times fame or ever fade suicide, but you shouldn't forget people's perception of quality is changing regardless of where they come from. who thoughts?

we germans are also becoming more and more quality conscious. listen ok. so you have to be careful that you offer visitors more than a quick guided tour through just a few rooms in the castle. volume. escape the to the something that i for some tourist, a photo is enough and as long as it works on instagram of, if they're going to be instagram level, they need the right conditions of a done gets detailed, but they're also tourist to want to learn something want to be taken back to the time of loued vision if it's from less from ended site. so having that experience should also be provided for you because then they'll also come back to me and tell them where people about it and, and create the legend at home being rude to us. so how is the various intends to apply for a unesco world heritage title for noise finds time. many are hoping that that will finally limit the number of visitors because world heritage is something that shouldn't be marketed to death. the
