Commission for Bavarian History
The Commission for Bavarian History supports research into Bavaria’s history. The scope extends across all regions and eras and is driven by an interdisciplinary team networking across Europe. The Commission is composed of around 60 elected members drawn from universities and non-university institutions in Bavaria and beyond. The Institute for European Ethnology and the Swabian Research Centre Augsburg are also part of the Commission.
Publications and conferences
The Commission’s research findings have been published in over 1,000 volumes. Focus areas include a description of the territory, an edition of written records, and the publication of journals and scientific studies on all regions and eras of Bavarian history. The Commission also organises academic conferences in its capacity as a centre of excellence for major and long-term research in this area.
