Civil list
The civil list , also known as the civil list in older texts , is the annual amount granted to a monarch and his relatives from the state treasury . This includes the appanage - the compensation for the non-governing members to cover an appropriate lifestyle - and the expenses for the stately household.
From this amount the monarch had to pay for the maintenance of all buildings. The relevant text under Article VI of the Bavarian "Law, the establishment of a permanent civil list re." Of July 1, 1834 reads, for example:
“All the furnishings of the residences and court buildings, court chapels and court offices with all movables that are entrusted to the supervision of the court staff and court directors and are intended for the needs or for the splendor of the court, as well as everything that serves to furnish or decorate the residences and pleasure palaces are received from the king from the civil list, and all necessary new reproductions are obtained from the same. "
In addition to the term civil list, the terms crown endowment , endowment , disposition fund or very high disposition fund are used in the same way, sometimes side by side, for state payments to monarchical heads of state.
