Scope and content
The officer's personal files of the Bavarian army existing from 1682 to 1919 are in their breadth and completeness a probably unique tradition. The collection represents an indispensable source for biographical, prosopographical, genealogical, local history and military science questions and has always been one of the most frequently used holdings of the War Archive. Among many other things almost the entire Bavarian nobility is represented in it. In addition, there are also a number of prominent personalities who served in the Bavarian army during the First World War and only later made careers - leading National Socialists such as Heinrich Himmler, Rudolf Heß and Julius Streicher as well as the later Federal Chancellor Ludwig Erhard. 2013 to 2015, the index was retroconverted as part of a project sponsored by the DFG under the direction of the undersigned Birgit Messerer M.A., Doris Hähnlein and Marianne Pregel. Comprehensive testing and correction work was carried out by Birgit Messerer M.A. and the undersigned.Munich, 13.07.2015Johannes Moosdiele-Hitzler M.A.Archivrat
