Fairytale locations in Baden-Württemberg: Where the classics come to life!

When it comes to the magical world of fairy tales, the locations in Baden-Württemberg set new standards. The focus is particularly on two popular ARD films: "The Frog King" and "The Devil with the three golden hair". The diversity and beauty of the region are impressively presented in these adventures.

The main film for "The Froschkönig" was the baroque pleasure palace favorite in Rastatt, which was already used for the film adaptation in 2008. Here the golden ball of Princess Sophie falls into a picturesque pond in front of the castle, which remains an unforgettable picture for many spectators. The Rastatt residence castle, known for its pompous inner rooms and the impressive wooden floor ornament, also served as a backdrop and strengthens the fairytale character of history. The choice of Rastatt as a location is based on its baroque residence city and the stately buildings with their lovingly designed gardens, such as Heidelberg24.de describes in detail.

from the king, the boy and the devil

In "The Devil with the three golden hair" from 2013, the story of a boy who falls in love with the king's daughter is told. The exciting challenges that the king imposed on him - including the robbery of three golden hair from the devil - were captured in two impressive scenes: Ehrenfels Castle in Hayingen and the striking Teck Castle near Kirchheim unter Teck. The latter is even one of the ten most beautiful castles in Baden-Württemberg and gives the drama an impressive backdrop. The contrast between the well-kept manor of Schloss Ehrenfels and the imposing castle Teck ensures a varied and appealing film aesthetics, as well as merkur.de reported.
