Abstract
Parsifal(1882-) is known as Richard Wagner's Opera concerning about Legend of Holy Grail's Knight in Europe such as Perceval ou le Conte du Graal of C.Troyes and Parzival of W.Eschenbach so called Era of 12th Century Renaissance.
And, My View of Point of this Thesis stands that those stories of Legend were very close and strong influenced by Crusader Battle Situation and Movement on Knights of Crusade from Europe to Middle East in real History.
Parsifal had become the final work of Wagner's life and been completed at Bayreuth in Germany at last and played on for the first time and decided Bayreuther Festspielhaus as the only place by his testiment at that time.
This thesis mentions about intimate relevancy between these Legends and Bayreuth City using human historical and geographical approach. In 12-13th Century, one of famous European House of Andechs & Meranien ruled important Crusader's routes or key-areas having root of Grail Knight's story in Europe, such as Franken in Germany including Bayreuth, Bamberg, and Ansbach near birth and vital place of W.Eschenbach, and Adriatic Seacoast including Dalmatia(around Slovenia and Croatia), and road to Verona in Italy across the Brenner Pass in Austria, and Bourgogne(Brugund at that time) in France near the place of C.Troyes and so on.
Then, The House managed access-routes from Bishopric(Bistum) Bamberg called "New Rome above Alps" in Millennium to Jerusalem and another Middle East's cities including Acre and Beirut, and to Italy, France, Hungary, and Poland, etc. Moreover, The House had close ties with Crusader Movement in Roman Catholic and Knights of Crusader like Knights Templar(Ordre de Chevalerie du Temple) and Teutonic Knights(Deutscher Ritterorden). And this House influenced Bistum Bamberg to send their clergy, and tried to settle new land near Bamberg's East Border. Thus, Bayreuth was found by House of Andechs & Meranien as residential city with new military and trading base to East-Side such as "Beirut" where stand as city of cross-cultural and peaceful coexistence route to Jerusalem. In addition, Beirut was written Holy Gral Castle of Perceval by Troyes.
After that, Bayreuth prospered like International Ideal city of Beirut until now.
The aforementioned, I will point out that Bayreuth had historically Legend of Holy Grail's Knight in Europe to draw Wagner's Parsifal to Land of Bayreuth.
Beside, this Legend is alive and evolves even nowadays. These Essences of Parsifal are not Germanic Hero like propaganda of Nazis era but mutual understanding, sympathy, and cooperation on human being around the world.
