	Unsolved Mystery of Kaspar Hauser
		Kaspar was soon handed over to a policeman and locked in the upper floor of Vetsner Gate tower, under the guard of a sympathetic and inquisitive jailer, Andreas Hiltel.
		Kaspar's father was dead, apparently, and had been a cavalry soldier, so when the boy was seventeen the labourer was to take him to Nuremberg to the Sixth Cavalry regiment - which his father had belonged to.
		Kaspar was unhappy at first in his strange new environment, and cried frequently for the first week or so.

		Kaspar Hauser / Casparus Hauser (April 30?, 1812–December 17, 1833) was a mysterious foundling in 19th century Germany with ties to the royal house of Baden.
		Hauser said that most of his life — maybe 10–12 years — he had lived in a dark 2×1×1.5 metre cell with only a straw bed for his company and a horse carved out of wood for a toy.
		The DNA evidence would seem to argue that Kaspar Hauser was indeed a descendant of the House of Baden.

		Kaspar was as badly served by the medical profession after death as he had been during life, and the four doctors performing the autopsy were incapable of expressing any definite opinion in the question of murder versus suicide.
		Kaspar then produced the purse with the cryptic message from his pocket; he had written it in advance (in Spiegelschrift so that Meyer should not be able to read it) and carried it with him to thwart his old opponent, should he reappear.
		Kaspar Hauser surfaced in Nürnberg, Germany, in 1828, and was slain in Ansbach in 1833.

		Kaspar did not know how to use his fingers, his gait was that of an infant learning to walk, he walked by placing both the ball and heel of the foot down at the same time and the physician who examined him reported an abnormality of the bone structure of the knee.
		Kaspar showed some similarities with children who are learning language, in that he over-generalised certain concepts: all hills were mountains and a fat man was called "the man with the mountain".
		It is rumoured that Kaspar had been locked away because he stood in the way of a possible succession to the state of Baden.

		Herzog's interpretation of Kaspar's ill-fated life cast him as the perpetual outsider, with rich people perceiving him as a trendy freak to be adopted, and ordinary people suspicious and distrustful of anyone who was different from them.
		Kaspar's story is as much myth as mystery, and a new film about his life indulges lavishly in elaborate conspiracy theories.
		You see, one school of historians believes that Kaspar was the rightful heir to the throne of Baden, and was kidnapped as an infant by scheming enemies across the border in Bavaria.

		Kaspar was later adopted by Lord Stanhope, a wealthy, germanophile aristocrat, who spent lavishly to try to find out more about the origins of the Nuremberg mystery boy.

	The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser DVD - Michael Weise Productions
		Kaspar is by instinct pantheist -his notion, for example, of apples being live beings as much as ourselves, his attunement to the oniria et al -many touching moments, many deep layers in this one.
		"The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" is the true account of one early 19th century foundling, Kaspar Hauser, who was locked and shackled in a dungeon from birth, only to be freed and exposed to society after 17 years in isolation (save for the lone keeper who fed and abused him).
		He, himself, had been abused, not unlike Kaspar Hauser, by his mother who was a prostitute; he was sent to an asylum and incarcerated for a petty crime.

	ON SCREEN: Kaspar Hauser
		Kaspar has been, after all, an opera, a ballet, poems, a whole slew of novels, and -- his best-known manifestation -- the subject of German writer/director Werner Herzog's now-classic film, The Mystery Of Kaspar Hauser ('75).
		Kaspar (1812-1833), feral child, natural man, symbolic orphan, rider on the storm, "the child of Europe" who dies from "lethargy of the heart," was presumably the legitimate heir to the throne of Baden.
		But as it is, Kaspar's story moves smartly enough along, raising more questions than it answers, certainly, about the nature of power and the hypnotic spell cast by the spectre of the bloodline, as well as tackling the whole question of the shaping of consciousness and its relationships with meaning.

	Kaspar Hauser
		One reason that the story of Kaspar Hauser, Europe's most famous "wild child," has inspired more than 2,000 books and a film by Werner Herzog is that it carries a version of this scenario into the realm of myth.
		If you accept that this foundling discovered on the streets of Nuremburg in 1828 and assassinated five years later at the age of 21 was really the heir to the throne of Baden, the situation assumes the dimensions of a fiendish real-life fairy tale with a tragic ending.
		As impressive as Kaspar's education may be, it remains a gloss, and in moments of stress he regresses into a pitiful, cowering man-beast.

	[No title]
		Kaspar Hauser, the subject of this 1994 drama by German director Peter Sehr, appeared in Nuremberg's town square in 1828 as a 16-year-old, barely able to walk or talk; a letter he carried contained a cryptic remark about his having been confined in silence since the age of four.
		Sehr places Kaspar's sudden emergence in a political context, making him the rightful heir to the duchy of Baden, imprisoned as part of a court cabal.
		But in building a case for Kaspar as a Germanic everyman susceptible to the will of every parental figure he encounters, Sehr seems to equate his circumstances with those that gave rise to Nazism--a simplistic metaphor that trivializes the mystery of Kaspar's life.

	FILM REVIEW -- Out of the Dungeon For `Kaspar Hauser'
		``Kaspar Hauser'' -- not to be confused with Herzog's ``The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser'' from 1975 -- is a speculation based on historical fact, a kind of 19th century Teutonic Oliver Stone film.
		The basis for the story is the real-life mystery of Kaspar Hauser, who stumbled into history in 1828 when he turned up on a street in Nuremberg, a 16-year-old unable either to walk or talk.
		Speculation followed that Hauser was the crown prince of Baden, switched at birth with another child, kidnapped and kept under lock and key by the rival Bavarians.

		Kaspar Hauser was thereafter educated, and wrote of his past experiences—an action that did little to explain his state.
		Kaspar Hauser is the most innocent character in the film; he is exploited, mocked, and eventually murdered by a member of the society in which he is forcibly immersed.
		The histories of each figure (Bruno and Kaspar) are timelessly similar: each has been deprived of a natural introduction to their world, and Bruno S.’ performance as Hauser is brilliant, for the simple fact that they are for all intents and purposes the same character.

		The sick child dies after being viciously beaten, and the true prince — Kaspar Hauser — is eventually taken to Hungary, where he is chained in a dungeon for the next 12 years.
		Kaspar’s 12 years in the dungeon apparently encouraged an indiscriminating sexuality; he responds with warmth and gratitude to Stanhope’s frequent, lingering kisses — much to the horror of his tutor.
