Das Schweigen der Marienburg: Der dunkle Fluch der Welfen und der Untergang eines Königreichs1230

A token of love for a queen, built by a blind king – and today a monument to decay. Marienburg Castle is the stone heart of the House of Welf, the oldest dynasty in Europe. But behind its neo-Gothic walls, a war rages that is shaking the very foundations of Germany's "old money." In this documentary, we delve deep into the archives of the House of Hanover. We investigate the mysterious "Welf curse" that has haunted the family from exile in Austria to modern courtrooms. Why did Ernst August of Hanover have to auction off his treasures at Sotheby's? How could an invisible killer – dry rot – render the most magnificent castle in Northern Germany uninhabitable? And what is the real story behind the bitter inheritance dispute between Ernst August Senior and his son? Experience the epic tale of power, blind trust, and the painful downfall of a world once richer than the British Crown.
