"We Ludwig von Gotts Grace" - German-speaking documents Ludwigs des Bayern in comparison
In a new virtual exhibition on bavaricon German-language documents of the Roman King and Emperor Ludwig IV, called "the Bayer" (reg. 1314-1347, Emperor since 1328), are put into the center. In his reign, the importance of German language in the royal firm increases. After his reign, the Latin royal deed became an exceptional case. The exhibition also looks at the development of royal diplomas before and after Ludwig IV and addresses early examples of German texts in the non-royal document. Historically valuable source texts are documented by Ludwigs des Bayern in its pioneering role for the training of the newly high-German language. The virtual exhibition is a joint project of State Archives of Augsburg and the professorship for German literature and language in Bavaria at the University of Augsburg. She was conceived by students from the Departments of History and German Studies at the University of Augsburg under the direction of archival director Dr. Thomas Engelke and professors Klaus Wolf and Thomas Krüger.

National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) complete
The NFDI represents an innovation in the German science landscape and aims to build a digital, regionally distributed and networked knowledge storage. It is intended to systematically develop valuable research data, which are often stored decentralized, project-like and temporary, as well as to make it readable, available and usable in the long term. It is composed of consortia in which different institutions of the respective research field cooperate, including infrastructure facilities such as the Bavarian State Archives. A knowledge store like the NFDI is the basis for attracting the world's best scientists. For the development and promotion of NFDI, the federal government and countries from 2019 to 2028 annually represent up to 90 million. Euro ready for final expansion, of which the federal government bears 90 percent, 10 percent bear the countries. Since 2020, the state archives of Bavaria are partners of the NFDI4Earth and the NFDI4Biodiversity. In November 2022, the Joint Science Conference (GWK) has incorporated eight other consortia into the federal state funding of the NFDI. The decision was based on a recommendation from the German Research Foundation (DFG). The following consortia will be funded from March 2023: • NFDI4Memory - Consortium for historically working humanities, • NFDI4Objects - research data infrastructure for the material legacy of human history, • NFDI4BIOIMAGE - National Research Data Infrastructure for Microscopy and Image Ana
