𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮 Saturday is a special day ... it's the day we get to explore-day! 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
This weekend we took a fairly short drive to see Snow White's Castle
in Lohr am Main. It's a quaint little town with the castle nestled among the half-timbered buildings.
The Spessart Museum told the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
In 1986, after many years of investigation, Dr. Karlheinz Bartels, a pharmacist and "fable researcher" from Lohr am Main,was able to prove conclusively, that Snow White came from Lohr.
Snow White was, according to Dr. Bartels, an angel of mercy and kindness; charitable toward the poor and the suffering.
How did the dwarfs enter the picture? It was necessary for very small people, at times even children, to be employed as laborers in the low mine tunnels.
A view of the model of the castle.
"Talking Mirrors" have been proven to be a product of the Mirror Manufacture of the Electorate of Mainz in Lohr (1698-1806). Mirrors from Lohr were so elaborately worked that they had the reputation of "always speaking the truth".
Just like a couple of kids, we had fun with the fun-house type mirrors!
