The young princes and princesses listened to one of the Grimm Brothers' most beloved stories, "Dornröschen (Sleeping Beauty)," sang the "Dornröschen-Song", and learned many interesting facts about Germany and German fairy tales. 

In the end, they all had a chance to craft their own crowns from colorful paper and jewels which they proudly wore on their way back home.
