The Free State of Bavaria celebrates a centennial.
2018 will see Bavaria celebrating two anniversaries: 100 years ago Bavaria was
declared a free state and has been a constitutional state for 200 years now. “WIR
FEIERN BAYERN” (We Celebrate Bavaria) is the motto for festivities all over Bavaria,
organized for citizens by citizens. Associations, societies und municipalities are
arranging concerts, celebrations, open house events and much more.

1818: Bavaria became a modern constitutional state. Bavarian kings rejected being
crowned, but swore by the constitution of 1818, guaranteeing equality before the law,
religious freedom, extended freedom of speech and access to public offices for every
man according to ability. The constitution remained in place until the end of the First
World War.
The November Revolution of 1918 and proclamation of the Free State of Bavaria:
“Nacha mach ma halt a Revolution, damit a Ruah is!” (Well then, let’s have a revolution
and be done with it). The November Revolution in Bavaria was not quite as harmonious
as author Oskar Maria Graf described it. Following a peace rally on November 7, 1918,
socialist Kurt Eisner proclaimed the Free State of Bavaria, and the House of
Wittelsbach’s monarchy was overthrown.

Technical University of Munich’s 150th anniversary
King Ludwig II. founded the “Königlich-bayerische Polytechnische Schule” (Royal
Bavarian Poly-Technical University) in 1868, to promote industry and progress in rural
Bavaria. From this precursor that operated under the name “Königlich Bayerische
Technische Hochschule München” from 1877 onward, the Technical University of
Munich (TUM) evolved over a course of 150 years.

Oktoberfest 2018
From September 22 to October 7, 2018, the largest public festival of the world will yet
again be attracting loyal “Wiesn” fans from around the globe. As each year, the tension
rises when everyone gathers to count how many knocks the mayor of Munich, Dieter
Reiter, needs to tap the keg until he can finally declare: “Ozapft is!” The traditional
tapping is set for Saturday morning in the Schottenhamel festival tent. Another highlight
is the grand “Trachten- und Schützenfestzug” on Sunday, a procession featuring
people in traditional attire making their way through Munich’s city center, all the way to
Oktoberfest’s Theresienwiese.
