Bavarian home and royal party

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bavarian Homeland and King's Party (BHKP), also known as the King's Party for short , was a monarchist and Bavarian-patriotic party in Bavaria that campaigned for the restoration of the monarchy .

Weimar Republic

It was founded on November 30, 1919 by Josef Mayer-Koy, a publisher for the magazine Jugend . The Wittelsbachers , however, avoided contact with this party. After the founding of the Bavarian Homeland and King's Federation "In Treue fest" (BHKB) in March 1921, later known as the Bayernbund , the royal party completely lost its importance when the local groups in Regensburg , Rosenheim , Nuremberg and Würzburg joined the BHKB. In September 1926, the rest of the royal party also went into the non-partisan rallying movement. The royal party was dissolved in 1933.

After the Second World War

At the suggestion of Franz Freiherr von Redwitz , Head of Cabinet of Crown Prince Rupprecht , the first attempt to found the royal party was made in October 1945, mainly by members of the BHKB, which was dissolved in 1933. On January 23, 1946, the US military government only approved it in the Munich district and banned it again that same year. After the end of the military government in 1949, the party could be reconstituted. On July 23, 1950, it was re-established under the chairmanship of the doctor Max Lebsche , but had no political success in post-war Bavaria . In the Munich city council election on March 30, 1952, she was able to win a seat. She did not run for the state elections in 1954 .
