The Bavarian War Academy in Munich was the military academy of the Bavarian Army from 1867 to 1914 for training for use as a staff officer . The building is a historical monument.
history
The Bavarian War Academy was opened on November 1, 1867. It was based on the organization and objectives of the Prussian War Academy and trained officers of the Bavarian Army. The courses usually lasted nine months and ended with an examination by the commissions appointed for this purpose. Because of the equivalence of the training, the Bavarian army officers were exempt from attending the Prussian War Academy, which was mandatory in the German Empire . A secret service regulation in the army's mobilization plan stipulated that the War Academy should be dissolved if there was a threat of war. The 47th course could therefore no longer be started when the First World War broke out.
From 1867 to 1894 the academy was located together with the artillery and engineering school in the eastern half of the Herzog-Max-Burg . In 1894 the artillery and engineering school was relocated to Pappenheimstrasse 9 (today 14) on Marsfeld .
