The revolution of 1918/19 brought an end not only to the Prussian kingdom and the German empire, but also to the other German monarchies. From early on, the new governments had to deal with the question of financial propositions and housing for the future life of the former dynastic families. During the 1920s, the German states reached agreements with the families which gave the later access to certain funds and palaces as now private property. In Bavaria, the establishment of the „Wittelsbacher Ausgleichsfonds“ in 1923 represented a rather different solution. Up to now, the WAF holds property as a foundation under public law (palaces, works of art, but also forests and other forms of real estate), while the economic profits benefit the members of the former ruling house of Wittelsbach. The projects seeks to systematically investigate the foundation and development of the WAF from 1918 to 1933 and will make use of new sources available from the Wittelsbach family archives. Firstly, the project places the WAF as a factor of stabilization to the new republic, endowing the Bavarian state with legitimacy and continuity. Secondly, the Wittelsbach family started a new life as entrepreneurs, which became in a way typical for the high aristocracy in republican Germany. And thirdly, the WAF, by way of presenting former monarchical property in museums, put traditional and new images and imaginations of monarchy into the minds of the public. While the monarchy itself was no longer existing, the people of Bavaria paradoxically experienced a certain state of intimacy with the old regime and its representatives.The research project will combine various approaches of cultural, economic, political and legal histories. As a “post- monarchical history of monarchy” the book will shed new light on tradition and change in the Weimar republic.

1918年至1919年的革命不仅终结了普鲁士王国和德意志帝国，也终结了德意志其他君主国。从一开始，新政府就必须处理前王朝家庭未来生活的财政问题和住房问题。在20世纪20年代，德国各州与这些家族达成协议，允许后者获得某些资金和宫殿，这些财产现在是私人财产。在巴伐利亚，1923年成立的“维特尔斯巴赫Ausgleichsfonds”代表了一个相当不同的解决方案。到目前为止，妇女联合会根据公法拥有财产（宫殿、艺术品，但也包括森林和其他形式的真实的地产），而经济利润则使前执政的维特尔斯巴赫家族成员受益。 这些项目旨在系统地调查1918年至1933年WAF的基础和发展，并将利用维特尔斯巴赫家族档案中的新资源。首先，该项目将WAF作为新共和国的稳定因素，赋予巴伐利亚州合法性和连续性。其次，维特尔斯巴赫家族开始了企业家的新生活，这在某种程度上成为共和制德国高级贵族的典型。第三，通过在博物馆中展示前君主财产，将传统和新的君主形象和想象植入公众的脑海。虽然君主制本身已不复存在，但巴伐利亚人民却自相矛盾地经历了与旧政权及其代表的某种亲密状态。研究项目将联合收割机的文化，经济，政治和法律的历史的各种方法相结合。作为一部"君主制的后君主制历史"，这本书将为魏玛共和国的传统和变革提供新的视角。
