He wanted strzen the

I'm sure the only
what today counts in Richard Wagner's life,
- this is the art.

Majesty, Wagner

He poisons everything

It's my job to protect the state

You're sitting on horseback

For us, the political

You have to Franz-Josef
open the eyes.
He is Austria
strzen into ruin,
if he einlsst to a war with
Preuen.
Wait, Elisabeth,
I open his eyes?
Come on, your husband always thinks just
like a soldier.
Even Bismarck will not hesitate to make
to take up arms.
He wants to expel Austria from
the German Confederation.
If he succeeds,
is your Bavaria also be affected.
I do not understand
that you these singers from Vienna ...
In such a gefhrlichen time are so important.

Just as this tree is

Later, as the wind will carry the seeds into the

If you want to make your people happy,

Thank God you were only

I have ordered police

He certainly will not
find the culprit.
He can not arrest
his own people.
Majesty, do not ignore the
Malicious strength of my opponents.
Your art will disarm
Their enemies.
No, no, that's not
just about me.
This is a conspiracy
to Majesty ...
To prevent them from creating new Progressive
peaceful world.
And when I think about it further,
then I come to the conclusion that
there is only
ever one way:
Fire All Their
Prime!
- And above all of the Pfordten!
- Mr. Wagner,
I can understand
Their panic.
But wait only once from the premiere.
You will see

the situation will calm down.
Majesty, I do not sleep.

No other music says so much about from love.
Is not it the most beautiful

I know myself with opera not so good,
but the music was impressive.
- Yes!
- Impressive, but also sad.
But why
sad?
Since so much joy lies in the last words of lsolde,
when it unites
with Tristan.
"Highest pleasure,"
she sings.
It is free

Free of ev

Not gengend, Mr. Kabinettssekretr.
Not gengend, it seems to me.
Do you mean in all seriousness,

No powerful
king?
Yes, because wages sent is not aware
that in these "moving days",
has nmlich since Friday
extremely aggravated the crisis?
Because no decisions
could be taken.
Due to the absence of majesty.
This must just imagine it!
I ask you a King is not blo
Under a typewriter ...
In the hands of his ministers.
- Yes, yes, yes, you're right, Mr. Lutz.
Still, he is a very fatal influence under

In short, if Majesty
continue to stay away from Munich,
then threatens our country
in the gegenwrtigen unstable situation ...
An absolute
disaster.
Majesty know
his duties.
Your tongue is
pointed, Mr. Lutz.
Take care
take care not to violate it.

Majesty, has Preuen Austria
issued an ultimatum.
Minister of the
Pfordten asks tell
that will take place Most likely a war within
the German Confederation.
Ludwig, I beg you,
returning to Munich back to results.
You're at a crossroads
verhngnisvollen.
Your power you'll can only claim
if you sttzen minister,
which you can
trust.
But it's not yet
too late.
If you now hltst your
speech from the throne,
then you can post your ideas
represent clear.
And then you callest a new ministry,
which you can use to prevent the war.
I told you here a few names
written by Mnnern,
I think ideally suited fr,
to replace your current ministers.
It's just a
uggestion.
Rich
rd
new minister will not make the construction of our
festival theater possible.
It's not about music, it's about war.
To downfall.
(Ludwig)
l will not accept
that Austria is excluded from Preuen
from the German Confederation.
There will be no civil war in
Germany.
Not with
me!
I have been in contact with the peace party in
Berlin.
I'll untersttzen.
If ntig, with money.
The peace party to Bismarck
under pressure.
He must give up his
impertinent war intentions.
You, gentlemen
...
Who want to tell me
for the construction of this theater ...
Is no money
vailable.
The state treasury was empty,
you have complained.
Fri these disgusting war you are willing to spend huge sums
.
I tell
you, no!
(Murm
r)
Under any circumstances I will grant the mobilization of our army.
It's that
simple!
For your world!
Peace!
Majesty have worked again all night. Hm?
- There is so much to Mayr.
- Yes. There is so much to.
Outside, at the Odeon Square
students demonstrate for peace.
You want the same
as Majesty.
"Peace not only for Bayern,
also for the whole world," they cry.
Majesty just has a
lot of friends.
Thank
ou.
Oh, the
ooks.
Let me t
rough!
Tell me how to
proceed for that?
The campaign of defamation of your gentlemen Minister against me,
which is always unertrglicher.
-L please.
Wagner puts his money for
the new weapons of our army in the bag.

- Can you perhaps let time alone?
- Majesty?

For months, I suggest you

What are you
waiting for?
Now finally tell

But very quickly!
Get out of the

This STAGE is

No access for
brain amputees!
(Man out of the crowd)
Who wants to lead the music of Wagner?
- I'm so sorry.
- It is not about Wagner.
You want to force me to mobilize the army
.
All the courtiers
are DAFR.
Ludw

You are a Grail
Knight.
You'll have the power to prevent war

This world does not

It assesses all wrong.
Almost everything.
But I thank

- No, Mr Lutz.
We do not want violence
with violence bekmpfen.
But Maj

how can Wagner are
still protected?
Maje
ty
my negotiations with Preuen have failed.
In addition, the current protest against
Richard Wagner threatens to degenerate ...
And must be stopped
unverzglich.
In times of war danger can our country
no unrest in the interior afford.
At today's meeting
of the Cabinet ...
Have decided all ministers einmtig, they wrden zurcktreten

But the chest

The severe headaches indicate inflammation in the body through a

I suspect the blood

Majesty immediately receive an injection of us.
I'm sure
that has everything to do with this Wagner.
Na?
Now that the war is in front of our doors,
because of course he wants
to seize the time,
around here
everything to blow up in Bavaria in the air.
He must get away from here.
He will kill you otherwise, my boy.
If you continue versprhst your

then you vergiftest

You make me

You make me sick

Just go to your boring thoughts ...
And leave me

However, it is strongly

The war is no longer

Do you

In the middle of the night,
woke me of Lutz,
to me to read your arrangements to

I want to show my expensive people,
that his trust and love ...
I go over everything.
Why my mind is made up:
Richard Wagner must
leave Bavaria.
Believe
me,
it had
to be.
Otherwise we risk that
it comes to even more brutal Itten.
What are you
doing with me?
You treat me like a lackey,
which is you become repugnant.
What have I done
to deserve this?
I am afraid for you.
Your life is in danger.
Do not doubt my loyalty.
Please do not. Please.

I prefer dignity on the

If Majesty will not show soon ...
Majesty should

There is still a

The dead are
beyond saving.
Preuen has already incorporated several German states,
and their princes have
been driven into exile.
Bismarck gewhrt us a truce three weeks

It is from Satan, you schmeien it away!
Away, away,

We have committed

It's that simple!
May I continue to serve in

Yes, he

But now he is
forbidden,
I have ever come closer than
three steps back!
In my heart, you reign as
allmchtiger King.
It will belong wages sent
to his last strike.
I am extremely
satisfied, Majesty.
Although we have lost the war against Preuen
,
we must cede nothing
of our country.
Only the protection and Trutzbndnis
is required of Bismarck.
You find it so unreasonable that my army should be to Verfgung
,
if Preuen leads
a war?
Yes. It is a good
compromise.
So I want my hated enemy
today ...
Explain to my best
friend tomorrow?
In addition, give up one of my main
Knigsrechte?
Majesty, better conditions
we could not wait.

No

The negotiation deadline of three weeks
has not yet expired.
That is correct.
But here, Majesty are very sick ...
And wrden not leave Rose Island

This will have consequences of grter scope!
Oh nonsense, ministers are only there yet,

Then come other

I beg your
pardon.
We will make the protection and Trutzbndnis

He makes too happy to war

Why do you want:

Let him continue building face

It can only be in the
interest of Bayern,

The Bavarian state
parliament should ...
One or two percent of the state budget Majesty

wren then the financial problems solved.
- No, certainly not.
But if you, Your

as German Chancellor
care about as wrden ...
I have to disappoint you, Mr. Lutz.
But this is a purely Bavarian affair.
We will not let us involve in this matter

You're all fired!

What are you

Without the consent of Majesty
Never give anything Varies here!
Now you fit exactly on time,

The Bavarian State Parliament and the Ministry

Neither the state legislature nor drfen

And make the further course of the state machine

Show me the

Does it have written
lackey Mayr?
Maybe not only written,
but also written.
It is therefore not at all sure whether
these statements of majesty come from?
And the worst thing is that my contact
to Majesty ...
only takes place over this type of letter
,
Mayr allowed to
come to me.
Pragmatically this lackey
is now the mchtigste man in our state.
Can be more increase
this absurdity?
Ludwig has always verfgt
about a lot of imagination.
I have sworn Majesty
loyalty and obedience.
But you can maintain loyalty
to a Unzurechnungsfhigen?
Only radical
steps ...
can the Bavarian monarchy
save it from total collapse.
Ludwig is the king
