Look up lieder by Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann.
Schubert's "Erlkonig" and Schumann's song cycle Dichterliebe are good places to start. The perfect Romantic-era blend of German/Austrian music and poetry. If you like that, keep looking into their other works.
A lot of people have mentioned Wagner here (great suggestion); these men were his contemporaries. I think Uncle Adolph would have liked their music.

Also, "Alexander The Great" by Iron Maiden (youtu.be) is a history lesson and will make you want to conquer some neighboring lands
