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.
It was active from 1867 to the beginning of World War I in 1914.[2] For a better comparison, equivalent institutions of other countries were those like the older and ten times[3] larger Prussian War College of the Prussian Army in Berlin or the k.u.k Kriegsschule (also a War College) of the Austrian Army in Vienna.
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]
