It was already evening when arriving 15 members of the court of William II 1891 at the Hunting Lodge. Among them were Charlotte of Saxe-Meiningen, a sister of the emperor and a brother, Duke Ernst Gunther of Schleswig-Holstein.

They had not, however, agreed to mulled wine take. Today, it would entitle the event as - Swinger evening. It was about nothing but sex. Each sex with anyone at all possible positions and variations.

The women have animated initially - and then the men have with each other happily.

This enjoyable evening for the participants was then one of the biggest scandals of the empire, - who had been forgotten. The historian Tobias Bringmann has done research about it, and the controversial historian Wolfgang Wippermann now made a book.
