history
The state association was created in the course of the homeland security movement during the German Empire. The association has its roots in the "Association for Folk Art and Folklore" founded in Munich in 1902. V. ”, which from the beginning was also dedicated to building and monument preservation objectives and from 1916 was called the“ Bavarian State Association for Homeland Protection ”. The magazine Volkskunst und Volkskunde , published from 1903 onwards , was renamed Bayerischer Heimatschutz as early as 1912 .
For today's administrative district of Swabia (at that time the district of Schwaben and Neuburg ), on the initiative of the Lord Mayor of Kempten, Dr. Otto Merkt introduced a part-time home nurse in 1929 and a full-time home nurse from 1935. In addition to the full-time home keepers , volunteer home keepers (shop stewards) were appointed for the individual district office areas (later districts), who were mainly active in the preservation of monuments. In 1938 the association was renamed "Bayerischer Heimatbund" and a regional office for folklore was set up in Bavaria.
After the end of the Second World War, the association was banned by the general association ban. In 1945 the association was re-established as the Bavarian State Association for Homeland Care . This name is still used today. The association achieved that the organization of homeland maintenance in the administrative district of Swabia was taken over by the other Bavarian administrative districts. Today, in addition to seven full-time district home nurses, around 290 voluntary home nurses are active in the districts, large district towns and urban districts. After the war, Traudl Junge , one of Hitler's three private secretaries, worked as a secretary in the regional association.
The task of providing professional support for the voluntary district, town and local homeland caretakers - with state support - is carried out by the Bavarian State Association for Homeland Care through regular work and advanced training conferences as well as courses and the provision of information and work material.
