Heidelberg Castle
Perkeo's fate was perpetuated in a letter by Victor Hugo (1802–1885), after his 1840 visit to Heidelberg Castle. Joseph Victor von Scheffel (1826–1886) added Perkeo's drinking song to his "Gaudeamus" collection, published in 1863. In Heidelberg, his commemoration is annually celebrated during the carnival ("Fastnacht") season, likewise in Salorno ("Maschggra").
