“War Academy (Kingdom of Bavaria)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

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]

Location

Like the Military Academy (Ge: Kriegsschule^[5]) and the cadet corps of the Bavarian army, it was located 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 drill, sports, riding and shooting training, completed by courses in strategies, military and generically history, geography, philosophy, mathematics and physics.^[9]
