As the founder of the Association of Bavarian Patriots , he stood out in 1974 when he called for Bavaria to return to the monarchy : “The homeland sighs for a beautiful king - not because we absolutely need one, but because it would be nicer!” He was a regular speaker Patriot meeting in Gammelsdorf . As a result of his initiative, King Ludwig Associations were founded in Bavaria and are maintained to this day. However, Lohmeier also recognized the temporary impracticability of a return to the monarchy, and in 1995 he unceremoniously appointed Edmund Stoiber as the “replacement king”.
