Bavarian State Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Bavarian State Ministry of Foreign Affairs (until 1918: Bavarian State Ministry of the Royal House and Foreign Affairs) was a ministry in Munich from 1762 to 1933 .
The office of foreign minister was mostly held in personal union with the chairmanship of the council of ministers or the office of prime minister . In the kingdom and republic, the area of responsibility also included internal administration. The successor authority from 1933 was the State Chancellery .
history
monarchy
The authority already existed before the Montgelas ' administrative reform of 1799, when specialist ministries were set up, because since 1762 there was a " Department of Foreign Affairs ". The minister at that time was Maximilian Franz Joseph von Berchem .
Montgelas time
When the Ministry of " Foreign Affairs " was established in 1801, it also took care of areas of " internal constitutional law ", because the department of internal administration only existed from 1806. These areas of responsibility were again given up piece by piece. The tasks after 1806 included looking after the house and state archives, representing churches and foundations in court, the postal system, house fideikommiss, private princely law and feudal matters. Affiliated was the realm heraldry , which was responsible for granting indigenous status , conferring nobility and managing the nobility registers , with the aim of winning over the newly acquired population for the new state. Significantly, the Foreign Ministry was also responsible for awarding medals.
German Confederation
With the constitution of 1817, the ministry was properly designated as the " State Ministry of the Royal House and Foreign Affairs ".
In 1825 the postal system was given to the Ministry of Finance and came back in 1832. In 1847 responsibility for mail returned to the Ministry of Finance. From 1845 to 1848 the Foreign Ministry was entrusted with the railway system.
Empire
During the empire Bavaria retained some reservation rights and the right to its own embassies. Bavaria also chaired the Federal Council's Committee on Foreign Affairs. In 1914, the Kingdom of Bavaria still had diplomatic missions in France (also accredited in Belgium ), Austria-Hungary , Russia , Italy , the Holy See, and Switzerland .
The State Ministry of Foreign Affairs had other tasks. In 1871 the Ministry of Commerce was dissolved and the Department of Transport came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which from then on formed the main workload. From 1871 to 1874, customs were also under the Ministry of Finance. In 1903 the traffic was subordinated to the newly created Ministry of Transport .
In 1904 the affairs of trade, industry, handicrafts, handicrafts and small businesses were transferred from the division of the Ministry of the Interior to the State Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This involved the supervision and promotion of these branches of industry: trade regulations, cooperative and credit systems, supervision of the chambers of commerce and trade, promotion of industrial and trade exhibitions, trade tax matters, trade and merchant courts, subsidy fund for industry and commerce, supervision of the Coin, currency and stock exchange affairs and finally the supervision of the mining industry. On February 13, 1915, the authorities forbade the raising of the black and yellow Palatinate flag, which was privately introduced in 1909 .
republic
Department II of the State Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was entrusted with the tasks taken over in 1904, was in turn taken over in 1919 by the newly created Ministry of the Revolution, the State Ministry of Trade, Industry and Commerce. As a result of a “ state simplification ”, it was reintegrated into the State Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1928. In 1932 the ministry received its last title, which better expressed its tasks: "State Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Economy and Labor".
