Monarchism in German-speaking countries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Monarchism in Germany)

The Monarchy of Germany was abolished after the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm in 1918, during the Revolution of 1918-1919 and the proclamation and transition of the German Reich into a Republican form of government. I.e The establishment of the Weimar Republic and the abdication of the Kings in Germany. Today the only monarchist organizations working at the federal level are Tradition und Leben, as well as regional groups in Bavaria and Saxony, among others, supporters of the former ruling family's such as the Wittelsbach and Witten families. Today, most associations don't argue for the return of the former systems, but instead push for a parliamentary system more similar to other European Kingdoms. Today the only German speaking countries that are still monarchies are Belgium, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.[1]
