an extra $2800.00 police officers on the streets this year and fireworks are banned in some areas of the city. the authorities are determined to prevent any repeats of seems like things. how does it, as i said at this hour, i will be back in 45 minutes with more news headlines or stay tuned for doc. so coming up next. thank you so much for watching the it shouldn't be this one here. it's hard not to feel something really is happening here. what is happening to greens and size is explorer and and test the into the eyes. dw,

in a unique moment in one of the most visited places in the world. at night alone, in noise, fond stein castle in germany, few people get to experience it like this lemma. here not when you were alone in the consulate and not the atmosphere is completely real and magical because you never see it like that. it gives you an entirely different feel for what good with the 2nd was trying to do kind and if you let stories told by the peaches work when you it's really a very magical app must be a marketing system. the

restores tina now move which mikaela cristella are among the privileged few allowed to stay in noise sponge done at night. they're both working on the 1st major restoration of the castle and are taking the opportunity to look around in peace. the. there are hundreds of animals and mythical creatures to be discovered. the state of unified for the city front. so you can see the sheer wealth of imagination that went into the furnishings. have you noticed it in so many details? when no matter where you look? so there's always something to find to plan and take time to see more of us, a hispanic assist the stories everywhere on every wall. and yet, when you can just enjoy them in peace without anyone blocking your vision or without having to hurry because the group has to go to the next room. that's really great. yeah, football can only

sponge dine was not originally intended for the public lunatic. the 2nd 10 wanted at all for himself, but it is this castle above all others that has become an icon around the world. the 6th floor for new at this castle, functions like a legend type assistance, which means that its image is more powerful than what's behind them and couldn't be, sir. you enjoy this castle without understanding what it represents, an expressive looks else. some $1500000.00 people visit noise punched on every year 4 times as many as last have in teams which is also in bavaria. officially, there is no limit to how many visitors are allowed in noise. sean stein is too important for bavaria, for that it's 8 am. one hour before the castle opens to tourists.

steph. enclave and teacher is one of the guides and cleaning is also part of his job. the cleaning companies are not allowed in the chambers. the danger of something getting damaged is too great. so we'll think owns either, but this is how every work day starts for us. that we clean up the dirt lift by about 6000 visitors every morning. so the things are clean again for the next 6000, the subway for the next 26000 the another 5 minutes. then the 1st tour is to arrive. during high season, 20 castle guides working parallel every day. diffuse between both of these funds. the organizational management at noise punched on castle cannot be compared with the management at the sister castles of teams. and linda whole function, noise schwann's time is the machine. so we're almost like assembly line workers. we have no time for any interruptions. every 5 minutes another 60 people get ushered

in. there's really no room for hitches. the stuff enclave into it. you originally trained as a tool maker. when he was 20, he happened to come to noise, fond stein as a seasonal worker, and stayed right. following almost from back when i started, an older colleague said to me every day, a noise sponge, diamonds, an adventure. i'll tell you right here we are starting a more minutes to close the door here. the more of your attention, please. thank you. welcome to the as long as thing castle most watson cost was. so for this chapter, king the big, the 2nd off, the very low pet bus chose how are you looking to switch to?

i'm using ludwig. he became king of the area. then he was so least 18 years old. he'll tell that story 10 more times today as he's done every working day for the last 21 years. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. my name is steph, i'm and here we go. the castle tour. it has been timed out meticulously. no delays are permissible, otherwise there will be traffic jams and k us. now it's been exactly 25 minutes. 16 rooms in less than half an hour. the, as you mentioned. so here we have the 1st bottleneck in the guided to a of my house on busy days, around 7000 people to squeeze through this narrow staircase. as you can see,

that causes mechanical wear and tear because they pump into things where there was damage. it's tempting to poke editors to visit as always, want to touch things anyway. they have this need to, which is what leads to the damage. we can see here. more than 5000 square meters of wall surface are affected. they'll have to be checked for damage and repaired by the restores. got enough closer to noise to me because when you were invited to someone's house, you don't touch everything on it though. there's a lack of respect to the and, and does it restore this probably gets to more anyway, we've funded is understandable of having a have to experience is important to you. but still we try to avoid it as best we can hook them for people in the 25th, the, to for my the castle is undergoing its 1st comprehensive restoration since it was built in 18. 69. the restoration is set to last 5 years. teen anomaly,

which is one of the project leaders and themes less for just a lot of the costs will, hadn't been restored because we've so much splendor. you don't notice the actual damage. at 1st glance isn't going to split this one in the news. it's the less she is. for example, you can see a typical plays visit as often touch. well, we have on, fortunately over the last the liar of paint, neither the tourists cause marks and wear and tear even in places they don't get to directly such as on this treasure chest the shuttle. it looks really creepy when it's magnified as to the fact does visit as a shedding and dropping things all the time. mainly text, all 5 is but also skin flakes had all kinds of things. and that's why we have so

much dumpster throughout the whole room. how it my, who, the stove of common for decades, the wood was regularly polished with oil. but that was a big mistake because it caused even more dirt to stick to the surface savvy. so it's cuz it's, so now i have like a sandwich. several layers of oil and dish, which is really hard to remove from the base surface start off. and it also causes a complete optical change surfaces that were originally meant to be honey colors. now the very dock mind juan and jets had for the the items listed with this call. so i initially, well, i didn't have problems exactly,

but i did think he got so many visitors, and it's only from the 19th century. it integrates under the rule. all these forgotten parts of the book that nobody visits all tourists rush to this one. so it was a little skeptical at 1st. but in the meantime, i have really fallen in love with the castle because you truly see that the key load with the 2nd really created his own welto guns guns. i can have it as also have the hedgehog, and it's a tragedy on the builder of noise. fun, stein, lunatic. the 2nd i didn't want strangers or any one he hadn't invited to enter or visit his castle. he would have been horrified, wildly have a thing,

but the way he built it. and by keeping the public out. awesome, he essentially laid the foundation for this tourism himself, not put on this guy as long as with these. and you might say that an agency couldn't have done a better job than this particular builder. it was the thing to actually wanted the opposite by what has this devil getting now does to boost for hunter. and there is more making the tail of noise. she punched on so compelling the 2nd spent the last days of his life in the castle until he was declared insane and arrested on june 12th 18. 66. a day later he was that jeff enclave and pitcher also tells this part of the story every day to those visiting the castle, the unless the on when it's not hard to guide the tours. but every now and then tour will

unexpectedly become difficult. well, after 2 years time, he and his colleagues regularly take part in emergency drills. although most of their work is a routine, an emergency situation can occur at any time as it did a few years ago, when the fire alarm went on. and then when those things got crazy start the emergency system kicked into play. you've got an automatic emergency call alerted, the fire brigade announced that a fire detector had gone off and that we had to evacuate the castle. and then everyone had to get out here and i'm done with hundreds of people had to be evacuated before you saw the fire department looked into it and said it was a false alarm. and a small flag had flown into a fire detector and set it on the modem. so we could go back into the castle house colors. returning to the island slosik. i'm

the only 40 years old when he died, all the construction which ended after his death. but other members of the king's family, they didn't waste any time. they print the the entrance tickets and opened the tassel to the public adjuster with the asterisk about how to put the gun in you. the 6 people immediately began to connect this phase of this legendary and very mystical man losing the 2nd. with the building to it been tied to several reports in the newspapers and letters and contemporary chronicles that report that thousands gathered at the gates of nice lunchtime dominique was at the time. this was regarded as mass tourism today in the 21st century. i think we've left that this number is um todd novice. nothing.

the $18000.00 tourists visited noise punched on in the 1st year today that many come and just readings likes, lifetime noise schwann's time had a big advantage of this. it was born as a tourist magnet at a time when a passion for the alps was emerging. and when photography was just taking off and come home, found it. and it isn't seemly photogenic. yes, the, the last tour is over, but the work doesn't stop. i know some talking with the same feeling when hope after a day with 10 guided tours which are noisy and cramped, you feel drained of variety as well. so i go home, so we need i'm going to jump on my bike and right of the mountain. and then i'm

pretty glad not to say any one for an hour, kind and see the business evenings. but this is one of my favorite places because of the magnificent view of the whole bunch fund goal castle. i'd say lake city and behind that is 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 become such fun are fun. 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 this one. then 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 hog i just wanted to visit. i think for a name that i need to compare it to the eiffel tower that isn't better than paris caesar or the leaning tower, a piece of it, which has imbedded among many other sites on 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 peace. i can stand as a fond started, and things fall off. nice. strong cheyenne is like a monument. on a pedestal. it emerges from the rock and dominates the landscape like hardly any other building. 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 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 it 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 game. yeah. even though this low 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 and be on your own for a while. to see say, the visit is i mean, long runs of 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 sorts. 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 post card. so besides back on they were about 20 to 45 other objects for sale. see

it's it. so sheets in it, i think it on tight to have a today i sell about 1500 different items. i think it in. so to meant his shop is located about a 100 meters below the castle. thank good. next, and you just 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 for cost and the best seller for a few years now has been fridge. magnets and different kinds in, i'm sorry, i feel in his shop is one of the few which still sells a lot of souvenirs that are actually made in germany. the pro size dimensions. all the info who will also be price 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. so tina, on and are shown suspect of they take pains to only buy german or european things, especially the beer mugs they want made in germany. german product menu items for adopted this it costs. and so while you're good, they 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 surrounded amik. this one is 10. you're from an issue. so rising, so i have a complex to learn kazi, next you by you

a few years ago, i mean, long, enlarged his shot 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. it has been built on the most uh which one was it however, his co worker be up to him has a different take on the castle. tell me about this stuff 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. i mean, 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, overloaded, big the seconds, other buildings. it was just one of many castles and bavaria. hard to imagine today the sun, 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 was done. when the bavarian torres and machine began to market all of fluids fix castles, but especially noise lunchtime, of us with the nice ones. the media painted moist, 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 waltz disney that's good for she. nixon logged us in void 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. these are sloughs that lead, but that needs to be millions of people experience that castle in orlando and disney world, or disney land, or in tokyo. and then in talk your level. in this respect, the idea this castle has been taken around the world. las vegas and the great 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 sponge done, reinterpreted for american tastes. the 1st cinderella castle was built in

1955 the that's what this feels on. if it's quite conceivable that walt disney or his studio staff got even more ideas for their work from the castle. be it from the minstrels. gallery or seniors are born, where there is this picture of the far as the many even suspect that this illustration from the saga of the holy grail was a source of inspiration. for disney's bambi, the, the, by the should focus most game be how even if the bavarian tourist board pump millions into advertising, it wouldn't, they would still never have the same effect as disney does for noise fungi automatically and free of charge of noise punched on as an object of projection today, the castles, real history is largely hidden behind a few questions. there's like a very amazing else,

like something that's not real in america. we don't have anything like this. it's very, very good this year. we also very this is the artist story and mark was strong and 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. put in this elisha was a really bizarre and abstruse objects like this but or dish with no response time depicted are from the seventy's. it is it put that towards the on why the

collection is called nice launched on it all isn't clear to manage why ne, even the decoration has no relation to the castle kind the to some flaw during the not email and friends of mine were in ireland. and brought this, allow me back with them, find a new orleans on pieces. i live here with your bosses this here, this is was fairly and salami sold in ireland is german drama, supposedly it's good when a school does allow me, i guess something extra was needed to underline the quality. so the view with no response time was added to the best price and the other one here. and there might be honest limits. i'm yet, cuz i see a did 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 zip code. and the neutral thing suddenly becomes imbued with the same emotion like the same positive attitude. time on the so this advertising is actually saying much more about noise sponge times in the thing itself because it says that noise sponge time a week is a positive emotion and that consumers as

a means the recipients. mm hm. at that point, the key for the image shown beneath the noise feinstein 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, and the castle is such an important advertising symbols 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 anomaly, which is looking for her colleague. he's supposed to be here. the minstrels hall is the largest room in the castle. and the restoration work is going on 8 meters above the tourists heads. it's

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

or how the color is here, interact with the sculptures into someone within squeak. it's really fascinating system. it c n c 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 reduced and took the 6th at this 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. god,

same thing i had in mind god in my all song move for decades and i've been setting up my shop in the morning. so i and 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 this for, by 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 pep and also they come up front of the stairwells can only be right in the middle and it's impossible for them to get past me license. they're usually also looking at the murals and have the audio guide something. oh, so i think i'd probably get trampled underfoot. let's think he's good. he's yeah, but only 2 and 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 this one that is confusing, there's 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 assigned to god because 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 though they didn't drop or skim, oh, a step on k been teacher and 5 of his colleagues had been chosen to clean the chandelier. it's both a duty and an honor. and

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 at 10. the shell. 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 closest to campus, this is more or less the coldest corner in the whole castle on that. because we have 30 high humidity it condenses on the cold surfaces as if you haven't here. 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, the citizens reports and imagine a cold be and a be

a god with the condensation running down the outside of the glass. that's how it is here in the cold with us it 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. on the left and even gonna put some 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 on happy idea with humidity and lots of castles. but here in noise fondest on, it's on a completely different scale because the impacts revisit has is great to hear. but

noise punch done also has a great advantage. and the 19th century 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'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 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. 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 sucks it again at the back. up to the idea of is to use the s cycles to pre dried the visitors is also that they come in from outside and are often very wet. so to insure they don't bring in a lot of moisture. i try to blow as much as again as possible, right here in the queue all with the visitors arrives in the plaza 4 months later on a rainy may day. a chinese tourist group has just arrived in holland shawn go. when she, when use honeymooning with his wife they book the european tour because it takes in noise sponsored on i've only ever seen outdoor footage on tv, so we're really looking forward to finally seeing it from the inside. and yeah,

it's a real shame. it's raining like this, you love, bravo hall. who was out since the turn of the millennium, more and more chinese have been coming to noise, finds time using wang is retired n as in germany for the 1st time. this is one of the highlights of our journey is what the, what you want to know, sean stein is the most beautiful castle in the world and the symbol of germany. the chinese pass a 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 than the northern chinese metropolis of don leon. it's owner when to the outgoing, especially to see the original. the, the most meticulous copy, however, is in rural 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 world on their doorstep. but only the outer facade is a copy of noise. fond stein, the interior features several floors of 3 d. art installations. the the tour begins. most of the chinese group have never even seen a picture of the castles interior. the 40 it looks noble and luxurious like the middle ages to 50 and then it's all over

the again 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, 40 minutes attachments, it went way too fast throughout the entire status of the. and we also see how 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? said 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 no expand steins fame or ever fade, but you shouldn't forget people's perception of quality is changing regardless of

where they come from. the thoughts we germans are also becoming more and more quality conscious. looked at all. so you have to be careful that you offer visitors more than a quick guided tour through just a few rooms and the castle, the nickelodeon, the escape. the tube is something that i, for some tourist, a photo is enough and as long as it works on instagram of the instagram level, they need the right conditions of a done good details. but there are also tourists who want to learn something and want to be taken back to the time of mood, vision of it from less from ended side. so having that experience should also be provided for them on it because then they'll also come back and tell more people about it and, and create the legend at home. they moved to us. so how is the various intends to apply for a unesco world heritage title for noise finds time many or hoping that will finally limit the number of visitors because of world heritage is something that shouldn't be marketed to death. the,
