Some interesting information about Bavaria, Germany, and the Finster family:

  • The last, and one of the most important, of the dukes of Bavaria was Henry the Lion of the house of Welf, founder of Munich, and de facto the second most powerful man in the empire as the ruler of two duchies.
  • The Bavarians spoke Old High German but, unlike other Germanic groups, probably did not migrate from elsewhere. Rather, they seem to have coalesced out of other groups left behind by Roman withdrawal late in the 5th century.
  • Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1837 – 1898), also known as “Sisi”, was born into the royal Bavarian house of Wittelsbach and was originally known as the Duchess of Bavaria. It was only when she married Emperor Franz Joseph I that she left her beloved homeland to become Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary.
  • In the state of Bavaria, beer is actually considered a food!
  • Germany is one of the world’s leading book nations. Publishing around 94,000 titles every year.
