FESTUNG KUFSTEIN - FORTRESS AT THE DOOR TO TYROLEAN ALPS (TIROL BY DRONE, 4K)

Is there a more stunning location in Tyrol than Festung Kufstein for drone footage?

The area of Kufstein is not free for drone flights and I’m very happy that we got official permittance to perform our drone flights at Festung Kufstein to make those fantastic video clips.

For the music we’ve licensed 2nd movement of Beethoven’s 7th symphony, which has the authentically expressive power to emphasize the majestical military plant with its unique personality, the main landmark of Kufstein.

=====================================

The video lives from the music, so I strongly recommend to find 10 relaxing minutes, use good ear pods or speakers and a big screen, and relax with a glass of good wine for enjoyment of this masterpiece.

=====================================

Fortress Kufstein has been mentioned for the first time as “Castrum Caofstein” in 1205 and was originally owned by Bavarian Duke Ludwig and the bishops of Regensburg.

Margarete Maultasch, Duchess of Tyrol, received Kufstein as a wedding present from her Bavarian husband Ludwig of Brandenburg, so that Kufstein became first time part of Tyrol.

When Margarete handed all of Tyrol over to Rudolf von Habsburg IV in 1363 the Bavarians demanded the wedding gift back and successfully invaded Kufstein.

In 1504 the city and fortress were besieged and conquered by Emperor Maximilian I from Habsburg, who added the massive round tower for stronger defensibility.

From 1703 to 1805 the fortress went back into Bavarian possession, until it came back to Tyrol/Austria in 1814.

Thus the ownership of the region around Kufstein multiply changed over 600 years between Bavaria and Tyrol, and in fact Kufstein is now exactly at the border of those two countries.

Music

At its premiere, Beethoven’s 7th symphony was noted remarking that it was one of his best works.

The second movement, Allegretto, which drives the choreography of this video, was Beethoven’s most popular movement and had to be repeated during its premier.

The instant popularity of the Allegretto resulted in its frequent performance separate from the complete symphony.

The slow buildup of the movement inspired the choreography of this video.
