War Academy (Kingdom Of Bavaria)
The Kriegsakademie (German for war academy) of the Bavarian Army was the military academy and staff college of the Kingdom of Bavaria, existing from 1867 to the beginning of World War I in 1914. For a better distinction to equivalent institutions of other countries like the older and ten times larger Prussian Military Academy of the Prussian Army in Berlin or the war academy of the Austrian Army in Vienna, the Kriegsakademie in Munich is commonly called Bavarian war academy.
The Kriegsakademie was subordinated to the Inspektion der Militärbildungs-Anstalten, a department of the Ministry of War, that was responsible for all training institutions of the Bavarian Army. Like the Kriegsschule (war school) 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.

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or academy:
“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
