action
Sad songs have been playing in the castle for two years. It was then that the king lost his beautiful wife, whom he loved very much. Her death almost drove him crazy at the time. His councilors are of the opinion that the king cannot mourn forever, he must also think of his kingdom and his state affairs. So two of his confidants decide to talk to him. When they ask the king about it, he says he is ready to marry again. There is one condition, however, that the girl they bring him must be just as beautiful as his deceased wife and have wonderful long, dark hair. The court officials think that this is almost impossible, but still want to try. The royal hunters should go on a search with a picture of the queen.
The hunters present three different women to the king, from whom he chooses one. The other two should be sent home richly gifted, he says. The young woman chosen by the king was taken by the hunter against her will, even though she had told him that she was a king's daughter and would choose her own husband. The king compliments her on her beauty and then says that he will marry her tomorrow. The princess doesn't like it at all and so she stipulates that she must first get three dresses, one as golden as the sun, one as silver as the moon and one as shiny as the stars. “You should have these clothes,” replies the king. The best tailors in his country are hired and the king can soon show the robes of his chosen ones. He also has three engagement gifts for her: a gold spinning wheel, a gold crown and a ring. But the princess is still not satisfied and demands another garment. It will certainly be difficult to fulfill this wish. It had to be a garment made up of a thousand different types of fur and rough work, and every animal in its realm had to add a piece of its fur. The king wants to grant her this wish too. The very next day he had the princess called because the robe was ready. "Now I have fulfilled this wish for you, tomorrow we will celebrate our wedding," he says.
However, the princess decides to flee because she wants to choose her husband herself. So she slips into the fur robe, blackens her face and can escape the castle unseen. A king who is now even sadder remains behind. Together with his hunters, he went on a hunt in the forest when it was reported to him that a strange little fur animal had been found that had never been seen before. He orders it to be caught alive and tied to the wagon and taken to the castle. When it speaks to the hunters, they are astonished at first, but then decide that it is good for the kitchen service and baptize it with the name “Allerleirauh”. The cook agrees and so Allerleirauh helps him from now on.
When the king gives a party in the evening, Allerleirauh appears masked in her dress, as golden as the sun. The king is entranced and dances with the beautiful woman. When he asks who she is, she disappears without an answer back into the kitchen, where she is wearing her fur dress again. Speaking to herself, she says she thought the king was nice today. Then she throws the golden ring in the king's soup. The king immediately sends for the cook, who tells him that the soup was made by the smoker. When he talks to the girl, she cheekily claims not to know anything about the ring.
When the king gives another party, she shows up again, this time in her star dress. "You have become even more beautiful since I last saw you," she is greeted by the king. Unnoticed, he can slip the gold ring on her finger. "This time you have to tell me who you are," he asks the stranger. Her slightly mocking answer is: “But my King, you still don't know, ask your councilors.” When the King does, she quickly disappears. This time the king finds a golden spinning wheel in his soup. Allerleirauh claims not to know anything about it either. “I gave it to a girl I wanted to marry and whom I loved beyond measure,” says the king. Then he takes Allerleirauh's hand, recognizes the ring, and strips off her fur dress. With a smile, the girl says: “Now you no longer need to ask your councilors who I am.” “No, now I know,” is the happy answer. Shortly afterwards, the wedding is celebrated.
