Venusberg (mythology)

Venusberg (mythology): Venusberg is the name of a mythical mountain in Germany. In Teutonic legend, caverns in the mountain housed the court of Venus, goddess of love. Venusberg was supposed to be perfectly hidden from mortal men. However, the legendary knight Tannhäuser spent a year here worshiping Venus and returned there after believing that he had been denied forgiveness for his sins by a legendary Pope Urban IV. The Tannhauser Gate of film and fiction originated as an allusion to the pathway that the knight used to discover and travel to this supposed place of ultimate erotic adventure.
