The Historical Lexicon of Bavaria ( HLB for short ) is a scientific subject lexicon on Bavarian history that appears as a purely online publication . It is the first subject lexicon on the history of the Free State of Bavaria and its various parts of the country.

History and Development

The idea of ​​an online lexicon on the history of Bavaria was developed in the late 1990s. Work on the lexicon began in February 2005. The first 120 articles from the Weimar Republic module were published in May 2006. By the beginning of 2019, the HLB, which was expanded to include the Late Middle Ages module in 2007, the Post- 1945 contemporary history module in 2008 and the Early Middle Ages module in 2017, had grown to around 1130 articles. The aim of the HLB is to comprehensively cover all epochs of Bavaria's past since prehistory .

The HLB sees itself as part of the Bavarian State Library Online, which has been developed since 2000. It is also dovetailed with the culture portal bavarikon . In 2014/15 the HLB underwent a comprehensive technical and visual relaunch . Since then, it has been possible to search for epochs and categories.
