The Nibelungenhalle is a unique dome structure located in the city of Königswinter, in the Rhein-Sieg district of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is situated on the path leading to the summit of the Drachenfels, a location steeped in legend where Siegfried is said to have slain a dragon. The hall houses a collection of paintings by Hermann Hendrich, which are based on Richard Wagner's opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung and Wagner's Grail opera Parsifal.
Additional Attractions at the Nibelungenhalle
In addition to the main hall, the Nibelungenhalle complex also includes a 'Dragon's Cave' and a reptile zoo in its outdoor area. The Nibelungenhalle is recognized as a protected monument, further adding to its historical and cultural significance.
Exploring the Dragon's Cave and Reptile Zoo
The 'Dragon's Cave' at the Nibelungenhalle leads to a secluded, ivy-covered area where a 13-meter long, moss-covered concrete dragon, created by Krings in 1933, lies. The reptile zoo, another attraction at the site, houses a variety of live animals from regions such as North and South America, Australia, India, Indonesia, Africa, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
