Germany has a rich culture of thousands of years. We are certainly familiar with Disney fairy tales.

And in these stories we all encounter the familiar motif that the heroines often go through many hardships and finally find happiness with their prince.

But few people remember that in ancient times, there were countless princes in Germany. Each locality had a prince, so at the same time there were hundreds of princes in the whole of Germany, so the probability of meeting a prince was quite high!
