The Ministry of War ((ドイツ語:Kriegsministerium)) was a ministry for military affairs of the Kingdom of Bavaria, founded as ''Ministerium des Kriegswesens'' on October 1, 1808 by King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. It was located on the Ludwigstraße〔today No. 14〕 in Munich. Today the building, which was built by Leo von Klenze between 1824 and 1830, houses the Bavarian public record office, ''Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv und Staatsarchiv München''. == History == The ministry was the successional institution of the royal Bavarian ''Hofkriegsrat'' (court war council, founded in 1620) and its follow-on institutions that were responsible for the military: * ''Oberkriegskollegium'' (upper war council, after 1799) * ''Kriegsjustizrat und Kriegsökonomierat'' (war justice council and war economic council, after 1801) * ''Geheimes Kriegsbureau'' (privy war bureau, after 1804) The name of the ''Ministerium des Kriegswesens'' changed to ''Staatsministerium der Armee'' in 1817, and finally to ''Kriegsministerium'' in 1825.〔Rainer Braun: (''Bayerisches Kriegsministerium'' ) German, Historisches Lexikon Bayerns, June 16, 2008.〕 From 1801 to 1817,〔Wilhelm Volkert, Richard Bauer, (p. 330 ff ).〕 King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria by himself held full command of the Bavarian Army.〔(''Grundkurs deutsche Militärgeschichte'', chapter 4. ''Das Heereswesen der Rheinbundstaaten am Beispiel Bayerns'' ) (German), Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag, 2006, p. 152.〕 In 1817 General von Triva was made the real head of the Ministry by him, but the administration of justice and economics of the military was part of the ''Oberadministrativkollegium'' and the ''Generallazarettinspektion''. In 1822 Maximilian I assigned General von Wrede as commander-in-chief of the army, and the ''Staatsministerium der Armee'' also became responsible for the administration of justice and economics. After 1829 the tasks and responsibilities of the supreme command of the army (Oberkommando, existing from 1822 to 1829) were transferred to the Minister of War, so that he was additionally commander-in-chief of the army.〔 After acquiring command of the army, the Bavarian war minister had far more extensive responsibilities compared to ministers of other countries, such as the Prussian Minister of War.〔 After the breakdown of the Bavarian kingdom in 1918, the Kriegsministerium was replaced by the ''Ministerium für militärische Angelegenheiten'' (ministry of military affairs). Due to the Weimar Constitution, from 1919 onwards the Bavarian Ministry of Transport〔Wilhelm Volkert, Richard Bauer: (''Handbuch der bayerischen Ämter, Gemeinden und Gerichte 1799-1980'' ) (German), 1983, p. 3, ISBN 978-3-406-09669-3〕 and the Ministry for Military Affairs were both disbanded. The former archive of the ministry, which was founded in 1885, became a section of the ''Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv und Staatsarchiv München''.〔 The military troops of Bavaria were subordinated to the Reichswehr, which was under the command of the Reichspräsident. Therefore, the Ministry of War was replaced by the ''Reichswehrbefehlsstelle Bayern'' (Reichswehr commanding office Bavaria) until September 1919.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ministry of War (Kingdom of Bavaria)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
