Neuschwanstein is a progressive rock band which, although never signed to a major record label, was nevertheless able to release an album that was highly regarded in the prog rock scene in the 1970s. Thomas Neuroth and Klaus Mayer met during their school years in Völklingen in 1971 and quickly realised that they shared similar musical interests. Both had a solid musical background and appreciated the combination of classical structures and lyricism with rock elements. Inspired by Rick Wakeman and King Crimson, the two decided, together with several school friends, to form a band, which they named Neuschwanstein. The name was chosen deliberately, as the castle built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria represents the Romantic era in one of its most iconic forms. At first, they played cover versions from the standard Anglo‑Saxon rock repertoire, especially pieces by Rick Wakeman. Deeply impressed by his Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Neuschwanstein decided to compose a long instrumental piece of their own and began working on a musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s famous novel Alice in Wonderland.
