of Ansbach, who from that time defended the foundling’s interests 
with affectionate zeal. 
In September, 1833, Kaspar, accompanied by Hickel, took a 
short tour through the picturesque region known as the Franconian 
Switzerland, and on the return journey they stopped at Nurem- 
berg, where the eighth great National Festival was in progress. 
King Ludwig I. and his mother, Queen Caroline, were there in 
state, and at their request Kaspar Hauser was presented to them. 
He approached the royal party without hesitation, and in the 
course of the audience presented the queen mother with one of 
his imitations of Oriental painting. He also took the opportunity 
to ask the Queen to let it be made known that in case of the 
identity of his former jailer being discovered, the person would 
not be punished, as that was the only means of preventing further 
attacks upon his own life. 
Kaspar spent several days in Nuremberg, enjoying greatly the 
brilliancy of the festival and going about freely among the crowds, 
feeling safe under the protection of numbers, and diverted from 
his troubles by the gaiety of the scene. He visited his former 
friends, and made his home with Mayor Binder, at whose house 
he met a relative of the family, a young married lady of Vienna, 
Frau Kannawurf, with whom he formed a pleasant friendship, 
which both parties hoped to continue by correspondence, until 
Kaspar could visit the lady and her family in Vienna. 
While Kaspar was in Nuremberg his health was good, and he 
seemed cheerful and full of hope for the future. 
His diet remained as simple as ever, and he could not taste 
wine. He told Professor Daumer that, being obliged to swallow 
a little wine when he partook of the communion after his con- 
firmation, he was made so sick by it that he vomited. He con- 
fided to Daumer that as soon as he should be his own master, he 
would come back to stay with him, and prepare the biography 
anew under his direction.
