24.2.-26.5.2023: 1623. Bavaria will be the princess
On Thursday 23rd February 2023, was the small exhibition “1623” in the Bavarian Main State Archive. Bavaria is opening up Kurfürstentum. The award of the Kurwürde to Herzog Maximilian I. von Bayern 400 years ago, on 25. February 1623, was the result of difficult negotiations and a compromise: The Bavarian Duke was only for his person, not for his whole house. In a secret supplementary agreement, Emperor Ferdinand II confirmed the inheritance of the Bavarian Wittelsbacher. The origins of the Bavarian pursuit after this ranking date back to the late middle age. In the house contract of Pavia, in 1329 between the Bavarian and the Celtic line of the Wittelsbacher, an alternating exercise of the Kurwürde had been agreed; the Golden Bull of 1356 tied the Kurwürde to the Celtic territory. On 8 October 1619, Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria and Emperor Ferdinand II concluded the Munich Treaty. A subsidiary agreement to this agreement marks the beginning of the efforts of Maximilians to transfer the Palatinate Kurwürde to Bavaria. After Friedrichs V's battle from the Palatinate 1621, a secret stretching was first carried out, and in 1623 the transfer of the Kurwürde to life time was finally carried out. Only the Westphalian peace in 1648, which ended the Thirty Years War, confirmed the Kurwürde for Bavaria. The small exhibition explains the most important stages of the ascent of Bavaria to the Kurfürstentum and the taught discussions

02.12.2022: Constitutional Order for Director-General of the State Archive a.D., Dr. Margit Ksoll-Marcon
Among other things, Margit Ksoll-Marcon conceived and initiated various exhibitions on the history of the Bavarian Constitutions during her professional career. The aim was always to permanently anchor the Constitution as the basis of our community in the historical consciousness of the population. For many years, a further focus of their work was cross-border cooperation with Czech archives, making it an invaluable contribution to the confrontation with the alternating common history of the people in the Czech Republic and Bavaria and thus to international understanding. Margit Ksoll-Marcon has acquired great merits to preserve and share the constitutional history of the Free State.
