1240–1918: The Wittelsbach Dynasty
-
From 1240 onward, the Wittels-bach dynasty was instrumental in defining the evolution of the city. They graduated from simple dukes to electors and finally to kings. Ludwig I commissioned the erection of Classical public buildings in Munich; Ludwig II built larger-than-life fairy-tale castles; the last member of the Wittelsbach dynasty, Ludwig III, had to flee Bavaria after World War I.
