History of office
The forerunner of the office of the Prime Minister was the Secret Council Chancellor of the Electorate of Bavaria . From the end of the 18th century, the Minister of Foreign Affairs , from 1806 Minister of the Royal House and Foreign Affairs , usually assumed a prominent position. In 1847 a Council of Ministers was established, but King Ludwig I (1825–1848) reserved the chair for himself; in his absence the most senior minister presided over the meetings. In 1849 the office of chairman of the Council of Ministers was created, which with one exception (1880-1890) was connected to the office of Foreign Minister until the end of the kingdom . With the establishment of the Free State on November 8, 1918 in the course of the November Revolution at the end of the First World War , the office of Prime Minister was also created; the first incumbent on a revolutionary basis was Kurt Eisner . During the Nazi regime the office between 1933 and 1945 lost due to the DC circuit of the countries in importance.
The American military government appointed Fritz Schäffer as "Temporary Minister-President for Bavaria" on May 28, 1945 ; on September 28, 1945 she deposed him and appointed Wilhelm Hoegner (SPD) as his successor. After the state elections on December 1, 1946 , the state parliament elected Hans Ehard (CSU) as Prime Minister (the first freely elected after the war). Ehard held two full legislative terms ( Cabinet Ehard I , II and III ).
