The Prime Ministers of Bavaria 1918-2018
Prof. Dr Rainald Becker (Augsburg) and Dr Christof Botzenhart (Munich) have written a high-profile part of recent history, namely the history of the prime ministers since the end of the First World War. There are 18 personalities (prime ministers without -*/innen) whose biographies and understanding of office are presented. It also shows the development of the Free State from an agrarian culture to a hypermodern state with all its advantages and risks.
