30.10.2019: Vorlass Barbara Stamm secured for the future in the Bavarian Main State Archive

The Bayerische Hauptstaatsarchiv takes over the written prelude of Barbara Stamm (CSU), which on 29 October is its 75th. celebrated birthday. The well-known national politician worked for more than four decades (1976–2018) as a member of the Bavarian Landtag. She was a State Secretary, Minister of State and Deputy Prime Minister among several Bavarian Prime Minister. She last met as President of the State until 2018. It not only holds the record as one of the longest-served Members in a German parliament, but is also a first-class witness to Bavarian national politics since the times of Franz Josef Strauss. Large parts of the politician's archival decree have already been transferred to the Bavarian Main State Archive. There, the documents are ordered, collected in terms of content and protected in a conservative manner. After the expiry of the protection periods laid down in the Archives Act, the material of research is available as an authentic source. The private writing of the well-known and popular politician includes, in addition to relevant documents, unusually many signatures by citizens, as well as by fellow politicians and companions. This enables the assessment of their political achievements from the perspective of contemporaries. Since Barbara Stamm is also known as a friend of the Franconian fast night, a series of carnival orders, carnival caps and certificates on fast night awards can be found in her lecture.

03.06.2019: "Joseph Ludwig Graf von Armansperg (1787–1853): Aristokrat, Liberal, Minister, Chancellor" - Teaching Exhibition at the Bavarian Main State Archive

On Monday, June 3, 2019, the opening of the small exhibition “Joseph Ludwig Graf von “Armansperg (1787–1853): Aristokrat, Liberal, Minister, Arch Chancellor” takes place in the Bavarian Main State Archive. The exhibition was launched in the course of training in the preparation service 2017/2020 for the entry into the 3rd Qualification level of the field of education and science, specialist focus on archives, at the University of Applied Sciences in Bavaria. Joseph Ludwig Graf von Armansperg served four Wittelsbach kings as officials, ministers and advisors. He came from an old noble family of Lower Bavaria, which was raised to the Reichsfreiherrenstand in 1719. His career began as administrative officer under King Maximilian I. Joseph. King Ludwig I promoted him to the “Superminister” for finance and interior, later for finance, the royal house and exterior. As a “Sparmansperg” he refurbished the Bavarian state finances and set new standards in terms of transparency, accuracy and economy. At the end of his professional life, Armansperg became President of the Council of Regents and Chancellor of the Young Kingdom of Greece under King Otto. Armansperg spent his retirement as a landlord at Egg Castle near Deggendorf. During the revolutionary upheavals of 1848, King Maximilian II again sought Armansperg's advice on various questions. To Joseph Ludwig von Armansperg, the state archives of Bavaria maintain a rich tradition. Personal documents and documents can be found in Estate Armansperg in the Bavarian Main State Archive. Documents from other branches of the family lie in the State Archives Munich (Family Archive Grafen von Armannsperg) and Country hat. Armansperg's work as state officials and ministers was reflected in the files of various Bavarian authorities. About 30 objects were selected for the small exhibition, which illuminate the central stations of life and activity of Armanspergs. Documents, business writing, session logs, publications and private letters are complemented by contemporary paintings and lithographies. The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and the King Otto Museum in Ottobrunn provided reproductions for the exhibition. Today, among others, the Armanspergstraße in Münchner district Harlaching and the inscription of the Ottopillar in Ottobrunn remind Joseph von Armansperg. A compilation of these and other traces of memories round off the exhibition. The exhibition is from 3. June to 16. July 2019 in the main building of the Bavarian Main State Archive (Treppenhaus, 1st OG), Schönfeldstraße 5, 80539 Munich.

17.07.2024: State Archives as a resource for provenance research

Within the framework of the practical seminar, the most important traditions are presented at the central government level (in the Bavarian Main State Archive) and in the regional area (exemplarily in the State Archive Munich). Provenance research serves to develop object and collection biographies and thus contextualizes the origin of an object. Although the object itself is initially examined, it is usually not enough to determine who the (art) work has heard in the course of time without doubt. In addition to museum documents such as sales books, files and official books are often indispensable in public archives in order to reconstruct the provenance. Many of these documents do not use the object, but are used for persons who have been deprived of assets. Within the framework of the practical seminar, the most important traditions are presented at the central administrative level (in the Bavarian Main State Archive) and in the regional area (exemplarily in the State Archive Munich) – from the tax and withdrawal files of the NS authorities to the reparation files from the post-war period to relevant documents of the ministries and large museums such as the Bavarian State Painting Collections. In practical exercises, research strategies are to be communicated. Comments on the legal framework and the terms of use in the Bavarian State Archives round off the event. Referencing Maria Stehr M.

Amendment to the Bavarian Archives Act

The Bavarian Archives Act was amended with effect from January 1, 2026. The current version can be found here.

Joseph von Fraunhofer in the opinion of his contemporaries and posterity

An exhibition at the Landshut State Archives, curated by Johanna Girschick, on display from February 10 to April 10, 2026 Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826) was a Bavarian optician, inventor, and entrepreneur whose achievements in research are still relevant today. Born in Lower Bavaria, Fraunhofer combined exact science with application-oriented practice and discovered the Fraunhofer lines named after him. He was a member of several prestigious research institutions and enjoyed national and European renown. Honors from politics, society, and science attest to his special status. Streets in several German cities, buildings, stamps, an ICE train, and a research institution bear Fraunhofer's name. The exhibition at the Landshut State Archives marking the 200th anniversary of his death aims to raise awareness of Joseph von Fraunhofer in his home region of Lower Bavaria. It deals with the city of Straubing's approach to Fraunhofer in terms of historical memory and the 80-year struggle to erect a monument in his hometown. It becomes clear that Fraunhofer is viewed positively throughout history and in the present day. The approximately 30 exhibits come mainly from the Straubing City Archives. They are supplemented by items from the Bavarian Main State Archives and the archives of the Deutsches Museum in Munich, which holds Fraunhofer's estate. Reproductions are on display. The exhibition was developed as part of the 2021/2024 preparatory service training program for entry into the third qualification level of the education and science career path, with a focus on archiving, at the University of Public Service in Bavaria. On display from February 10 to April 10, 2026, at the State Archives in Landshut, Schlachthofstraße 10, 84034 Landshut. Opening hours: Monday to Thursday, 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Friday, 8:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Closed on Shrove Tuesday, Good Friday, and Easter Monday. Special opening for Archives Day on March 7, 2026, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Free admission. An accompanying booklet is available for the exhibition. Fig.: Exhibition poster, Benjamin Gerum, GDA.

23.11.2022: Change of office in the State Archive Landshut

He follows archive director Dr. Martin Rüth, who retired in early October 2022. Dr. Martin Rüth studied German and History Gymnasium and received a PhD in Würzburg with a work on “The rise and spread of the humanist law firm in the municipal authorities of southern Tuscany and Umbria”. After training as a scientific archivist at the Bayerische Archivschule 1988 until 1991, he worked at the Staatsarchiv Landshut, whose head he has been managing since 18th. March 2005. In his term of office, the planning and construction of the new building of the Landshut State Archives was completed. Born in Lower Bavaria, Dr. Thomas Paringer studied Bavarian and General History, History and Church History in Munich and Rome. He received his doctorate with an institutional history work on the Upper and Lower Bavarian state levels in the Duchy of Bavaria. After his lecture on the scientific archivist at the Bavarian Archive School 2006 to 2008, Thomas Paringer first worked in the State Archive Munich before he first moved to the State Archive Landshut in 2010. As his deputy director, he organised, among other things, the transfer of the archives to the modern new building on Schlachthofstraße. In the spring of 2017 he moved to the Bavarian Main State Archive in Munich and took over the management of the department V Estates and Collections. As an instructor at the Bayerische Archivschule and the Bayerische Verwaltungsschule for newer constitutional and administrative history, he is intensively familiar with the Bavarian authorities structure. With the acquisition of the direction of the State Archive Landshut, he returns to his roots. The excerpt from the Trausnitz Castle into a modern archive building in 2016 was a cemetery for the Landshut State Archive. The new building offers all the conditions for managing the new tasks of the archives created by the digitalization of society and administration. In addition to the increasingly digital provision of sources, the acquisition of digital documents and their accessibility are key areas of work of the new head of office. In addition, the role of the State Archive Landshut as the centre of regional historical research is to be strengthened. Dr. Paringer strives for more intensive contacts with neighbouring universities, cultural institutions and historical associations. The state archive Landshut stores around 2.93 million archives in the amount of 20,150 meters (as at the end of 2021). It is responsible for the tradition of all modern state courts, central and sub-authorities based in the Lower Bavarian government district. Older documents – mainly in the form of documents, official books and files – originate from the administration of the Lower Bavarian part of the Duchy and Prince of Bavaria and from numerous nobility archives. The oldest documents date from the 12th century. Posted on 23.11.2022

12.02.2022: Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv takes over the family archive Bayrhammer

The Bavarian State Archive with the family archive Bayrhammer takes over the estates Gustl Bayrhammer and his father Max Bayrhammer. The family archive contains personal documents, awards and memorabilia of the actor dynasty Bayrhammer from 1870. This secures the written testimonies of this “artisticly ambitious family” (Gustl Bayrhammer) for the future and makes it accessible to research. Especially Gustl Bayrhammer (1922–1993), who was on 12. February 2022 would have become 100 years old, so far many are regarded as the epitome of the Bavarian folk actor. Like his father Max (1867–1942), he worked on many stages throughout the German-speaking world. To complement official tradition, the Bayerische Hauptstaatsarchiv secures estates of political and socially important personalities. The takeover of the family archive Bayrhammer takes place on the basis of a donation agreement on the basis of the public interest and the supra-regional importance of the subcontracted persons. Max Emanuel Bayrhammer on the 26th Born in Lower Bavaria in May 1867 as the son of a castle administrator. He took acting lessons and quickly found access to large stages, often with classic main roles. He performed at the Gardenerplatztheater Munich, the Stadttheater Wroclaw, the Weimarer Hoftheater, the Wiener Volkstheater or the Schauspielhaus Frankfurt. After the end of the First World War, the role offers became less, already from the early 1920s, he joined NSDAP fans as an entertainer and after 1933 at events of the NS organization “force through joy”. In precarious economic circumstances, he lasted only with a small doped stage contract at the Bavarian National Theatre on Water. His performances as the author of stage pieces are forgotten today. His 1922-born son Gustl (actually Adolph Gustav Rupprecht Maximilian) Bayrhammer first received a commercial training. After his convocation in the Wehrmacht, Gustl Bayrhammer used the stationing in Berlin for a theatre training at the Schiller Theatre under Heinrich George and Gustav Gründgens. After the end of the war, together with Toni Berger (1921–2005), he took a first engagement at the Hohenzollerische Landestheater Sigmaringen. There he also met his later wife, actress Irmgard Henning (1919–2003). After more than two decades on different stages (e.g. Augsburg, Karlsruhe, the Luisenburg Festival Wunsiedel and the Landestheater Salzburg), he went to Munich in 1967. Since then, he has been involved in the Munich Chamber Games, the Münchner Volkstheater and the Bayerische Staatsschauspiel. Gustl Bayrhammer became famous throughout the country through his TV career. As the first Bavarian investigator in the TV series "Tatort", he appeared in 15 episodes nationwide between 1972 and 1981. The television role with which it is most often associated across generations is that of the “master Eder” in the children’s series “Pumuckl”. In this international large production with at the time extremely elaborate trick drawings, he brilled as a sympathetic-grantian carpenter. Max and Gustl Bayrhammer made their own understanding of their performances as a theatre actor. The family archive is documented by special biographical documents: Gustl Bayrhammer led over each of his roles book. The recordings range from the first performance at Theater Sigmaringen on 27th. November 1945 until his last appearance on 21st January 1993 in Munich. This written information is accompanied by equally carefully designed photo albums. His father, on the other hand, collected the theatre records and stage programs of his performances, so that his professional path can also be well tracked. As a curiosity, the family archive contains a whole range of awards and honours such as the Bavarian Film Award, the Bambi, the Bavarian Order of Merit and even a Golden Record for the Pumuckl-Hörspiele.
