EDITORS COMMENTS
En Exil: The Chateau of Zizers, in the Grisons, Residence of the Dethroned King of Bavaria, Louis III (1918) This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in history: the exiled King Ludwig III of Bavaria and his daughter Hildegarde taking a leisurely stroll around the Lower Castle of Zizers in the Grisons, Switzerland. The image is from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The year was 1918, and the German Revolution was in full swing. The monarchy in Bavaria, a southern German state, had been overthrown following the end of World War I. King Ludwig III, the last monarch of the House of Wittelsbach in Bavaria, was forced to abdicate on April 7, 1918. He and his family went into exile, seeking refuge in Switzerland. The Chateau of Zizers, a picturesque fortified castle nestled in the Swiss Alps, became the royal family's residence in exile. The castle, with its imposing fortifications and stunning views, provided a sense of security and tranquility amidst the turmoil of the political upheaval. In this photograph, King Ludwig III and his daughter Hildegarde appear relaxed and at ease, despite the challenging circumstances. The father-daughter bond is palpable as they walk hand in hand, taking in the beauty of their surroundings. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when monarchs ruled with absolute authority, and the world was on the brink of profound change. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of images to capture history and evoke emotion. The identity of the unknown photographer adds to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this poignant moment in history.
