history

In 1961, the SPD parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament applied for a "site for historical self-documentation of the Bavarian state" to be set up as part of the reconstruction of the former army museum in Munich. In 1972 a working group called House of Bavarian History was set up, which from 1976 onwards organized the first Bavarian state exhibitions under the direction of Hubert Glaser . Originally it was planned to erect the preserved dome of the old Army Museum in Munich as the central building of the Bavarian State Chancellery and a house of Bavarian history. For this purpose, the House of Bavarian History (HdBG) was founded in 1983 as an authority of the Free State of Bavaria , which, according to the statutes, should be active in all parts of Bavaria. Due to these plans, the HdBG was organizationally part of the Bavarian State Chancellery from 1983 to 1998. When, after the death of Franz-Josef Strauss in 1988, his successor came to a compromise with a significantly smaller construction volume in relation to the State Chancellery, the plan to build the HdBG in Munich was dropped. On October 6, 1998, the HdBG was incorporated into the Bavarian State Ministry for Science, Research and Art . Richard Loibl has been in charge of the authority since 2007, succeeding Claus Grimm . The House of Bavarian History did not initially have its own collection; it was not until 2012 that collecting activities for the planned Museum of Bavarian History began . In 2016 the topping-out ceremony for the Museum of Bavarian History was celebrated in Regensburg and the opening in summer 2019.

tasks

The main tasks of the House of Bavarian History are:

  • to make the historical and cultural diversity of Bavaria accessible to all strata of the population, especially the younger generation, in all parts of the country
  • to present the general state of Bavaria and the development of the state and society up to the present in a historical - political - cultural framework
  • to promote and cultivate historical awareness and thereby make the historical legacy fruitful for the future of the Free State of Bavaria in the German and European context.

This is to be achieved primarily through the annual Bavarian State Exhibition , publications, lectures, conferences, media offers and contemporary witness projects.

It is also intended to create a comprehensive archive of images on Bavarian history. As a reference archive, it is intended to collect image sources on the history of Bavaria and make them available for historical research. For some time now, the interests of the House of Bavarian History Museum in Regensburg have also been taken into account.

The image archive comprises almost 350,000 materials: photographs, negatives, slides, video films, digital media, historical postcards, posters and graphics (as of 2011). The picture archive shows selected holdings in an online picture database.

The facility developed the concept for the House of Bavarian History - Museum on the Donaumarkt in Regensburg , which opened on June 5, 2019 , and is responsible for its operation.
