history
The French ambassadors in Munich, whose reports to Paris today present a valuable picture of Bavaria at that time - seen through French eyes - represented in their sequence the internal development of France. The diplomats of the pre-revolutionary French monarchy had mostly been very well informed about Bavaria. Then the First Revolutionary War brought a break in official relations. From this time there are only reports from anonymous agents from Bavaria in the archive of the French Foreign Ministry on the Quai d'Orsay . In 1796, during the war, one such agent reported from Munich to Paris:
«La Bavière est le pays de l'Allemagne le plus fertile, et où il ya le moins d'esprit; c'est le paradis terrestre habité par des bêtes. »
“Bavaria is the most fertile province in Germany and the one where there is the least spirit. It is an earthly paradise inhabited by fools. (The word «betes» used here can mean "animals" as well as "fools") "
The French rapporteur of 1796 continues: “The surest proof that Bavaria is the earthly paradise of Germany lies in the fact that this province ... has so far been able to endure a government which is generally considered to be the worst of all bad governments in Europe is recognized. ”Meant is the government of Elector Karl Theodor . The author also remarks: “This truth must serve as the basis for all considerations regarding Bavaria; only then can one calculate what this country is today and what could easily be made of it. ”Charles Paul Amable de Bourgoing had his residence in 1842 at Karolinenplatz 3. In 1866 the extraordinary envoy Viscount des Meloizes-Fresnoh resided at Schwabinger Landstrasse 25. Nach After the dissolution of the Roman-German Empire in 1806, there were French ambassadors in Munich in the Kingdom of Bavaria until the demise of the Bavarian monarch in 1918. 1814 ( Congress of Vienna ) to 1870 ( French German War ), France was in Bavaria with an Envoy Extraordinary and a plénipotentiaire Ministre , from 1871 to 1918 with a charge d'affaires , 1920-1924 plénipotentiaire again with a Envoy Extraordinary and Ministre, 1924-1925 represented by a chargé d'affaires and, from 1925 to 1933, by an envoy extraordinary and a ministre plénipotentiaire.
