By his death on the 18th August 1849, aged 74, he was a wealthy Bavarian Baron who built lots of orphanages, giving abandoned children food, shelter and safety.

His father and mother, Klaus and Adelhide, a wood cutter and a weaver, were very poor but happy. Their early life was a happy one. They played together in the woods, building huts, picking berries and playing hide and seek.

One of their neighbours, Halinka Von Witch, had given his mother some unusual berries which years later were known to be poisonous. Three weeks later, Klaus Von Ginger and Halinka Von Witch became husband and wife. Their new stepmother refused to pay for pencils and books and so he was no longer able to attend school.

He would use his home, Neuschwanstein Castle, as a care centre for Germany’s poorest children. He became one of Germany’s best known charity workers.
