Tuesday, 23. July 2019, the small exhibition “Bayerns Weg zur Kurfürstentum” will be held in the Bavarian Main State Archive. Opened from the Munich Treaty 1619 to the Westphalian Peace 1648”. The exhibition was opened in the course of training in the preparation service 2017/2020 for the entry into the 3rd Education and Science, specialized in archives, at the University of Applied Sciences in Bavaria.
Nearly 400 years ago, 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 Maximilians' efforts to transfer the Palatinate Kurwürde to Bavaria. After Friedrichs V's battle from the Palatinate 1621, a secret stretching was first carried out; in 1623, the transfer of the Kurwürde to life was finally carried out. Only the Westphalian peace in 1648, which ended the Thirty Years War, confirmed the Kurwürde for Bavaria.
The origins of the Bavarian pursuit after this ranking date back to the late middle age. In the house contract of Pavia, a changing clothing of the Kurwürde was agreed between the Bavarian and the Palatinate line of Wittelsbacher, the Golden Bull of 1356 tied the Kurwürde to the Palatinate territory.
The small exhibition shows in 20 exhibits the most important stages of the ascent of Bavaria to the Kurfürstentum: starting from the house contract of Pavia from 1329 to the Munich Treaty of 1619, the Belgian certificates from 1623 and 1628 to the confirmation of the Kurwürde in Westphalia peace.
