Neuschwanstein 1991
May 1991
This gorgeous castle is the one that inspired Walt Disney Worlds Cinderella Castle. He was later known as “Mad” King Ludwig but many question whether or not he was mentally ill or not. He plunged his kingdom into massive debt with his megalomaniac construction projects that still dot the Bavarian countryside today. Sadly he was deposed and found dead in a lake, many question whether or not he was killed or suicide. He only lived in his castle for a short period of time and it still is not finished.

The castle in Heidelberg
Going out at night, Heidelberg is a University town with a great nightlife scene.
Cologne
May 1991
Gray, chilly and gothic were my first impressions of Cologne. The dramatic cathedral imposes itself over the city almost like a mountain.
Last year East and West Germany unified and it was an exciting time to be there.
