The Bavarian War College, also Bavarian Staff College[1] (Ge:Bayerische Kriegsakademie) was the highest military facility to educate, instruct, train, and develop general staff officers.
The War College was subordinated to the Inspektion der Militärbildungs-Anstalten, a department of the Ministry of War, which was responsible for all training and institutions of the Bavarian Army.[4]
Location
Like the Military Academy (Ge: Kriegsschule[5]) and the cadet corps of the Bavarian army, it was located in Munich, southwesterly of the corner Blutenburgstraße and Pappenheimstraße, nearby to the parade-ground on the Marsfeld and the later infantry barracks "Marsfeldkaserne", which were completed in 1888.[6]
Education and training
Officers of all branches except these of the railroad troops,[7] who were designated for adjutant services as well as candidates for the general staff or for military sciences had to attend the Kriegsakademie.[4] The program of the Kriegsakademie included higher education in tactics, weaponry, fortification theory, army organization, topography[8] and languages, as well as military foot drill, sports, riding and shooting training, completed by courses in strategies, military and generically history, geography, philosophy, mathematics and physics.[9]
