King Ludwig I and his meaning

The Bavarian State Exhibition shows the upheavals that Bavaria went through during the reign of King Ludwig I. This began in 1825 and lasted until his resignation in 1848. Ludwig I is characterized in the exhibition as both a beacon of hope for the liberals and an art-loving ruler. The Bavarian thermal region emphasizes that industrialization also began during this exciting time, symbolized by large construction projects in Munich, the Ludwig-Donau-Main Canal and the expansion of railway lines.

The show will also look at the political trends of the time that led Ludwig I towards censorship and away from liberal ideas as he feared for the retention of his power. In addition, the role of personalities from his environment is examined, including Joseph Ludwig Graf von Armansperg and Lola Montez, whose influence on society and the king should not be underestimated. The monarch's resignation is a central issue - a step that highlighted not only political but also social unrest in the country.

The state capital is changing

The exhibition under the motto “Ludwig I – Bavaria’s greatest king?” takes place in the special exhibition area of ​​the Danube Hall of the House of Bavarian History and addresses the diverse facets of Ludwig's reign in an exciting way. Museums in Bavaria describes that numerous displays, media installations and activity stations will offer visitors an impressive experience. Not only is the great architecture of the time honored here, but also the customs and traditions that shaped life in Bavaria.

At the end of this cultural and historical journey, a family day with free admission and a fashion show with haute couture clothing are planned as part of the supporting program, which will stylishly round off the themes of the exhibition. The exhibition is an absolute must for anyone who wants to learn more about the influence of Ludwig I and experience the changes in Bavaria.
