The fairy king and his historical castle: Neuschwanstein is the most famous property of Ludwig II – in a year the UNESCO experts in Sofia had to decide on the world heritage application.
The World Heritage Committee will decide in Sofia next July on the inclusion of Neuschwanstein and other Bavarian palaces on the World Heritage List. The German UNESCO Commission reported that the World Heritage Committee announced at the end of this year’s meeting that the next meeting will be held from July 6th to 16th, 2025 in the capital of Bulgaria.
Some time ago, Germany proposed the Bavarian project “Dreams Built” to the UNESCO committee as a new world cultural heritage site for 2025. It is about the castles of Bavarian King Ludwig II.
In addition to the world-famous Neuschwanstein castle near Schwangau in the Allgäu, the Upper Bavarian castles Linderhof, Herrenchiemsee and the Royal House in Schachen were also selected. The Federal Republic submits an application to the UN organization in Paris by the deadline at the beginning of February 2024.
The UNESCO nominations of Ludwig II’s palaces have been prepared for a long time
In the Free State, the material has been prepared for more than a quarter of a year; past times and distant places,” enthused the German UNESCO Commission on the designated monuments.
At this year’s meeting in New Delhi, the Schwerin Residence Group was declared a world cultural heritage site. In addition, another idea with German participation was added to the popular list in India: the small Saxon town of Herrnhut also received the title as part of the settlements of the “Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine”.
According to the committee, a total of 1,223 cultural and natural sites in 168 countries are on the World Heritage List. Germany is represented with 54 World Heritage sites. (dpa)
