The story that haunts this land
Votre périple commence devant le Regierungsgebäude, le siège du gouvernement du Liechtenstein, construit en 1953-1955. Ce bâtiment moderne en béton, avec sa façade en verre de 4 000 m², se dresse sur la Peter-Kaiser-Platz, au cœur du centre historique de Vaduz. C'est ici que se sont déroulées des négociations diplomatiques cruciales pendant la neutralité du Liechtenstein en WWII. Vous devrez décrypter les premiers indices cachés dans son architecture pour comprendre les enjeux de l'époque et initier votre mission de sauvegarde.
Poursuivez vers l'Alte Rheinbrücke, le pont historique sur le Rhin qui relie Vaduz à Sevelen en Suisse. Reconstruit en 1901 après des crues dévastatrices, ce pont de 120 mètres en acier avec piliers en pierre fut fermé au trafic automobile en 1979 pour sa préservation, devenant un passage piéton. Il a été un témoin silencieux de la neutralité liechtensteinoise, traversé par de nombreux réfugiés pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ici, des messages gravés vous révéleront des détails sur les passages secrets et les réseaux de résistance de l'époque.
Le parcours vous mène ensuite au Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, ouvert en 2000 et conçu par l'architecte suisse Meinrad Moroder. Ce bâtiment en basalte noir de 25 mètres de haut, ayant coûté 45 millions CHF, abrite une collection d'art privé de la famille princière sur 4 000 m² d'exposition. Il a exposé des œuvres liées à l'histoire européenne, y compris des pièces de la période de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Votre mission vous invite à y trouver des indices cachés parmi les reflets sombres de sa façade, révélant des informations sur les trésors artistiques mis à l'abri.
En vous dirigeant vers le Rotes Haus, un bâtiment historique peint en rouge datant de 1534, vous traversez le Städtle, la rue piétonne principale de Vaduz. Cette ancienne auberge, dont l'image orne des abonnements postaux du Liechtenstein depuis 1912, est un témoin de l'administration princière depuis le XVIIe siècle. Le Städtle, long de 500 mètres et bordé de bâtiments des XVIIe-XIXe siècles, est le lieu de marchés annuels depuis 1806 et est traversé quotidiennement par les touristes accédant au Schloss Vaduz. Ici, un message ancestral lié à la Maison de Liechtenstein vous attend.
Votre investigation culmine dans le Stadtpark Vaduz, créé en 1970 sur 2,5 ha au bord du Rhin, un site de commémoration discret pour la neutralité pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Vous y déchiffrerez les dernières énigmes, synthétisant les informations collectées depuis le Regierungsgebäude jusqu'à la Hofkellerei des Fürsten von Liechtenstein, fondée en 1867 par le prince Johann II. Cette cave princière, dont le vin fut produit exclusivement pour la famille jusqu'en 1991, représente l'autonomie et la richesse du pays. En complétant votre mission, vous aurez non seulement résolu l'énigme, mais aussi exploré le patrimoine historique, la culture et l'ingéniosité liechtensteinoise face aux défis de l'histoire.
