By then, of the rooms in the main residential tract only the ground floor (kitchen and adjacent rooms), the third floor (the king’s apartments and the Throne Room) and the fourth floor (Singers’ Hall) had been completed. The rooms are richly decorated with works of the arts and crafts, there are portrayals from the Tannhäuser saga, from Lohegrin, Tristan and Isolde, the Nibelungenlied, Parzival and from the life of Walter von der Vogelweide, a medieval German lyric poet.

The first concert in the Singer’s Hall was held in 1933 to mark the 50th anniversary of Richard Wagner’s death. Since 1969 the Neuschwanstein Castle Concerts have taken place every year in September.
