It is sort of funny, these are essentially manors that were built to aesthetically evoke the vibes of castles (Not functional as fortifications, but also never intended to be). So, UNESCO is commemorating historical buildings that were themselves built to commemorate a long-gone era!
Someday we will have to show these commemorations in a commemoration of the UNESCO headquarters.
The Disneyland Cinderella Castle lists Neuschwanstein among its (obvious) inspirations. So Cinderella Castle is a building commemorating a building commemorating an era.
> “For our fairytale castles, a fairytale comes true,” says Markus Soeder, a German politician representing Bavaria, in a statement shared with Reuters.
Ah yes, a German politician representing Bavaria. Just like Gavin Nüsom is an American politician representing Kalifornien.
There are more castles in Germany (20,000 to 25,000) than McDonald's restaurants in the USA (13,500). From that perspective, McDonald's restaurants are more rare and therefore more in danger of extinction, so they should be put on UNESCO's World Heritage List, too.
