Emperor Wilhelm I and King Ludwig II of Bavaria

This contemporary drawing by Joseph Watter shows the visit of the German Emperor Wilhelm I to King Ludwig II of Bavaria in Hohenschwangau in the municipality of Schwangau near Fuessen. Ludwig II drowned in 1886 in the Wuermsee, today Lake Starnberg. After his deposition on June 9, 1886, his uncle Luitpold took over, as Prince Regent, the governmental affairs of the Bavarian kingdom. Due to his activity as builder of many well-known Bavarian castles, King Ludwig II received the nickname Fairy Tale King'. Undated drawing, probably in the period between 1864-1886
