The Real Story of Peacock Island

Real Story

By TheNaethPublished about a year ago 2 min read

There are rumors that the spirit of an alchemist who practiced dark magic is still present on the lovely island that is known as Pawnin Zel in Berlin. One of the smaller islands in Berlin's River Harville is known as the Fowlnsel, also known as Peacock Island. UNESCO has designated the island as a World Heritage Site because, to the remarkable Prussian architecture, that can be seen on the island.

The castle on Faun Insell is reminiscent of something from a fairy tale and the island itself is a paradise for anyone who are passionate about environment and animals. Following the establishment of a rabbit breeding facility by Elector Frederick William Martins of Brandenburg, who was a member of the Hohen Solon family, the island was given the name Kaninchen Veda, which literally translates to Rabbit Island. In the late 1600s. In addition, the island was the location where The Alchemist Johan Kunkul, constructed a glass foundry through which he manufactured imitation rubies that were referred to as gold Ruby Glass.

There was such a high level of satisfaction with him that the elector who had made the red tinted glass gave him the island as a present. Except for Kunkel entering and leaving the island was considered a punishable offence. And the whole location remained cloaked in secret. Kunkel was the only person responsible for this as a result of the black smoke and the smell of chemicals emanating from the islands.

The farmers who lived in the surrounding area were suspicious and they began to suspect that witchcraft. Was taking place across the ocean. After his sponsor, the Great Elector passed away, he was unable to continue receiving financial support. As a result, the foundry caught fire and he promptly left to find employment with the Swedish monarch. There was a high probability that intentionally started the fire. The dark legends about the island begin here, since it is supposed that Johan Kunkel experimented with black magic and chemistry in his laboratory before he set it ablaze, which turned the island.

Into an unfriendly place to stay after dark. All of these rumors are said to have originated from this location. It is reported that his soul is still roaming about restlessly as a dark ghost with red flashing eyes. This is another version of the stories. Following this, the island was left uninhabited until the Prussian king Frederick William the second acquired it and constructed the founding zellcastle for his mistress. They began introducing exotic animals to the island after that point, including alligators, buffaloes, Kangaroos, monkeys, lions and Peacocks, among other peculiar creatures.

During its height, there were more than 900 animals of more than 100 different kinds present. A move to the Berlin Zoo took place in 1842, after which they remained on the island until that season. After witchcraft poisoned the very ground, the remnants are now a collection of strange birds, magnificent buildings and traditions about the dark spirit of a sorcery that led to the destruction of the world itself.
