Neuschwanstein: Barde darf nicht mehr musizieren


Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenschwangau, GERMANY :::: Bard Kay Reinhardt prohibited to continue his music after years of playing at the castle


Schwangau - Jahrelang hat Kay Reinhardt am Schloss Neuschwanstein für Touristen seine Drehleier gespielt. Doch jetzt hat er Spielverbot. Der Musiker sieht seine Existenz gefährdet.

Kay Reinhardt hat einen Lieblingsplatz. Der liegt bei der Marienbrücke - direkt gegenüber von Schloss Neuschwanstein. Dort spielte der Musiker jahrelang seine Drehleier, sang Volkslieder und war glücklich. „Die Leute freuen sich, ich freue mich, im Hut landen einige Euro und ich bin beschäftigt“, sagt der 53-Jährige. Doch seit diesem Sommer ist Reinhardts Musik am Märchenschloss von König Ludwig II. verstummt. Die Schlossverwaltung hat ihm verboten, dort zu spielen. Der Musiker aus Oberbayern hält das Spielverbot für eine Ungerechtigkeit, wie er sagt. Daher hat er den Petitionsausschuss des bayerischen Landtags angerufen.

"People are happy, I am happy, hat land some euros and I'm busy," says the 53-year-old. But since this summer is Reinhardt's music in the fairytale castle of King Ludwig II. Silenced. The castle administration has forbidden him to play there. The musician from Upper Bavaria keeps the game ban for an injustice, he says. Therefore he called the Petitions Committee of the Bavarian parliament. This week, MEPs want to dedicate his problem. The "Bild" newspaper had reported on Monday about the case...
