The crime shocked people far beyond the Allgaeu region in Southern Germany: On Wednesday, June 15, 2023, a fatal attack occurred at Marienbruecke, a popular tourist destination near Neuschwanstein Castle - known as "Cinderella Castle": A 30-year-old man from the U.S. plunged two young female tourists down a ravine. A 21-year-old did not survive the deep fall - she succumbed to her severe injuries. Her 22-year-old friend was later pulled out of the gorge by rescuers. She was seriously injured.
