The Electorate of Bavaria (German:Kurfürstentum Bayern) was an independent hereditary electorate of the Holy Roman Empire from 1623 to 1806, when it was succeeded by the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Bavaria (/bəˈvɛəriə/; German:Freistaat Bayern[ˈfʁaɪ̯ʃtaːt ˈbajɛɐ̯n]) is a federal state of Germany. In the southeast of the country with an area of 70,548 square kilometres (27,200 sq mi), it is the largest state, making up almost a fifth of the total land area of Germany, and, with 12.6 million inhabitants, Germany's second most populous state. Munich, Bavaria's capital and largest city, is the third largest city in Germany.
Bavaria has a unique culture, largely because of the state's Catholic majority (52%) and Conservative traditions. Bavarians have traditionally been proud of their culture, which includes festivals such as Oktoberfest and elements of Alpine symbolism. The state also has the largest economy of any of the German states, giving it a status as a rather wealthy German region.
The village has 1280 residents, is located 78 m asl and its inhabitants are called Bavariani.
Physical Geography
The centre is located at the foot of the Montello, along the former road Schiavonesca SS 248, between the villages of Sovilla (east) and Giavera (west). The village is located about 22km from Treviso and 3km from Nervesa della Battaglia.
History
Human presence dates back to ancient times: in Bavaria stone tools were found, among the oldest relics of the province, dating back to Mousterian (70.000-40.000 years ago). Human presence reappeared in the Montello 5th millennium BC.
Under Roman rule, Bavaria was a farming area.
Starting from 11th century a community of German origin, the Bavarians which the town was named after, gave rise to the current village.
During Venetian domination the forest of Montello was almost cleared and wood was taken to the port (such was the importance that the forest of Montello was ideally placed “within the arsenal”, the heart of Venetian power). During the First World War, in the years 1917 and 1918, the town was on the front line and its inhabitants were evacuated. Bavaria was razed and the reconstruction was very difficult. After the war, poverty was such that Bavaria and the whole area were addressed as the town of the sachet, alluding to the large number of poor people who, with a canvas bag in hand, meandered through the nearby towns to beg for a handful of cornmeal to make a simple polenta. Since the early '60 the area has developed a solid industrial and crafting network, extended to the entire Montello.
The reign of Maximilian I in many ways marks the start of a new era in the history of Bavaria. When he came to power in 1597, he inhertied a thousand years old duchy with a failing economy. However, through a period of vigorous reform he manages to refill the state coffers, revise the law code, and organize an effective army, which allowed him to play an important part in the Thirty Years' War. Having established the Catholic League in 1609, he would help Emperor Ferdinand II put down the Bohemian uprising a decade later, getting the important and prestigious title of Elector as a reward. Although the latter parts of the war would see most of Bavaria occupied by the forces of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, he would ultimately make it out of the conflict with more land than he had going in t...

Maximilian III Joseph of Bavaria: "The Much Beloved"
The reign of Maximilian III Joseph would see an end to Bavarian great-power politics, and instead focus mostly on internal issues. The electorate was deeply endebted, and he therefore began to vigorously promote industrial and agricultural endeavors to get the economy back on its feet. Maximilian also launched reforms of the legal system, enlarged the freedom of the press, and founded new educational institutions. This, among other things, has earned him the epithet “the much beloved”.

Charles Theodore of Bavaria: Unwilling and Unwanted
When Bavaria’s ruling family died out in 1777, the country was inherited by the Elector Palatine, a member of the same dynasty, but from a different branch. In this way, the Palatinate and Bavaria were united under the same ruler for the first time in over 400 years - but there was a problem. The Elector Palatine, Charles Theodore, wasn’t interested in Bavaria, and would soon agree to give away nearly half the country to the neighbouring Habsburgs.

Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria: Recovery from War
While his father had led Bavaria into The Thirty Years' War, Ferdinand Maria would make sure that this was followed by thirty years of peace. He carefully balanced his relations between the Habsburgs and the French, giving him and his country time to recover from the previous conflict. Thanks to Ferdinand's skillful development of the economy, the country soon grew quite wealthy, allowing him to spend the excess money on great art and building projects. In this respect, he was greatly helped by his wife, Henriette Adelaide, who brought with her the Italian Baroque from her native Savoy.

Germany - States / Electorate of Bavaria: THALER 1774 | Maximilian III Joseph
Whereas his predecessor had been hated for his attempts to sell out Bavaria, his wastefulness and for his reactionary policies, Maximilian Joseph would vehemently defend his country’s sovereignty and try to reform it into an efficient and liberal state. Trapped between the French and Austrians he was soon dragged in to the Napoleonic wars and would for a long time be the most faithful of Napoleon's German allies. Although Bonaparte was eventually defeated, Max emerged from the Congress of Vienna having protected his country's independence and gained the title of king.

While his father had led Bavaria into The Thirty Years' War, Ferdinand Maria would make sure that this was followed by thirty years of peace. He carefully balanced his relations between the Habsburgs and the French, giving him and his country time to recover from the previous conflict. Thanks to Ferdinand's skillful development of the economy, the country soon grew quite wealthy, allowing him to spend the excess money on great art and building projects. In this respect, he was greatly helped by his wife, Henriette Adelaide, who brought with her the Italian Baroque from her native Savoy.

Whereas his predecessor had been hated for his attempts to sell out Bavaria, his wastefulness and for his reactionary policies, Maximilian Joseph would vehemently defend his country’s sovereignty and try to reform it into an efficient and liberal state. Trapped between the French and Austrians he was soon dragged in to the Napoleonic wars and would for a long time be the most faithful of Napoleon's German allies. Although Bonaparte was eventually defeated, Max emerged from the Congress of Vienna having protected his country's independence and gained the title of king.
