Max von Neumayr (born 29 July 1808 in Munich; died 14 January 1881 in Munich) was a German administrative lawyer and parliamentarian in the Kingdom of Bavaria. For a short time, he served as Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Max von Neumayr was the son of State Councillor and later General Director in the Ministry of Finance, Clement von Neumayr (1766–1829). His younger brother was Ludwig von Neumayr, a judge. [1]
He attended the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich. [2] After completing secondary school, he studied law and philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich from 1826 to 1831. In 1827, he became an active member of the Corps Bavaria Munich. [3]
In 1836, Neumayr joined the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior as a secretary. He was promoted to Ministerial Secretary (Regierungsassessor) in 1841 and then to Ministerial Assessor (Regierungsrat) in 1842. In 1847, he moved to the Ministry of Culture as an Oberstudienrat; by the time of the German revolutions of 1848–1849, he served as a Ministerialrat in that ministry.
From 27 May 1848 to 7 May 1849, he was a deputy in the Frankfurt National Assembly for the constituency of Burghausen. There, he supported the Greater German solution. In 1849, he was assigned to handle diplomatic affairs in the Kingdom of Württemberg, becoming chargé d’affaires in 1850 and Minister Resident in Stuttgart in 1859. [4]
Neumayr returned to Munich in 1859 to become Minister of the Interior in the cabinet under Karl von Schrenck. During the ministerial crisis of 1864, he temporarily also administered the Ministry of the Royal Household and Foreign Affairs (which included the chairmanship of the Council of Ministers), following Karl von Schrenck’s departure. That crisis eventually ended with the reappointment of Ludwig von der Pfordten to that position on 31 December 1864 and led to Neumayr’s resignation (tendered on 4 November 1865) as Interior Minister.
At the insistence of composer Richard Wagner in the autumn of 1866, King Ludwig II of Bavaria appointed Neumayr as Cabinet Secretary; however, by the end of the year, Neumayr asked to be relieved of this office. In 1868, he was elected to the Zollparlament representing Reichstagswahlkreis Oberbayern 7. He spent much of his later life on his estate near Miesbach. [1]
Max von Neumayr died in Munich in 1881 at the age of 72.
His grave is located in the Alter Südfriedhof in Munich (Mauer Rechts Platz 242/243 at grave field 14). [1]
He was the father of the paleontologist Melchior Neumayr.

August von Eisenhart was a Bavarian lawyer who became a politician. Between 1870 and 1876 he served as the king's cabinet secretary. The appointment was almost certainly made at the instigation of the powerful Interior Minister Johann von Lutz. The king himself became increasingly reclusive during the 1870s: commentators indicate that von Eisenhart became, in effect, the sole intermediary between King Ludwig II and the outside world - which included the other members of the Bavarian government.
