Summary/Abstract: Abstract Elisabeth of Wied (1843-1916) a renowned poet with the pen name of Carmen Sylva, was the queen of Romania in 1881 and has worked between 1880 and 1916 as a writer and a translator. This paper presents some literary and historical aspects of the fairy tales and stories published under the title Aus Carmen Sylvas Königreich / From Carmen Sylva’s Kingdom. Through the analysis of the texts we relate them on one hand with the romantic poetic of the marvelous and on the other hand, with modern fantastic fiction for children and youth.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden einige literaturhistorische Dimensionen der unter dem Titel Aus Carmen Sylvas Königreich veröffentlichten Märchen und Geschichten vorgestellt und, anhand von Textanalyse, wird einerseits die Relation dieser Texte mit der in der deutschen Romantik entwickelten Poetik des Wunderbaren, andererseits mit der phantastischen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur nachgewiesen.
