The administrators of King Ludwig’s estate managed to balance the construction debts by 1899.[42]
From then until World War I, Neuschwanstein was a stable and lucrative source of revenue for the House of Wittelsbach, and King Ludwig’s Castles were probably the single largest income source earned by the Bavarian Royal Family in the last years prior to 1914.
To guarantee a smooth course of visits, some rooms and the Court buildings were finished first. Initially, the visitors were allowed to move freely in the Palace, causing the furniture to wear quickly.

When Bavaria became a Republic in 1918, the Government socialised the Civil List. The resulting dispute with the House of Wittelsbach led to a split in 1923: King Ludwig’s Palaces, including Neuschwanstein, fell to the State and are now managed by the Bavarian Palace Department, a division of the Bavarian Finance Ministry.
Nearby Hohenschwangau Castle fell to the Wittelsbach Compensation Fund [de] (Wittelsbacher Ausgleichsfonds), whose revenues go to the House of Wittelsbach.[43]
The visitor numbers continued to rise, reaching 200,000 in 1939.[43]
Due to its secluded and strategically unimportant location, the Palace survived the destruction of the two World Wars.

Until 1944, it served as a depot for Nazi plunder that was taken from France by the Reichsleiter Rosenberg Institute for the Occupied Territories (Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg für die besetzten Gebiete), a sub-organisation of the Nazi Party.[44]
The Castle was used to catalogue the Works of Art. After World War II, thirty-nine photo albums were found in the Palace documenting the scale of the art seizures. The albums are now stored in the United States National Archives.[45]
