Answer options

1. Ingolstadt
2. Regensburg
3. Nuremberg
4. Munich

Explanation

The state capital of the Free State of Bavaria is Munich; it hosts the Bavarian State Government and the Landtag (at the Maximilianeum). “State capital” is a legal-administrative designation under Land law and fits within Germany’s federal order under the Basic Law (Art. 20(1) GG) and the guarantee of municipal self-government (Art. 28 GG). Historically, Munich served as the Wittelsbach residence, the site of the 1918–19 revolution and the 1923 Hitler–Ludendorff Putsch, and later as a center of democratic reconstruction after 1945, including the adoption of the Bavarian Constitution in 1946. Thus, the city combines the Land’s political central functions with a layered historical legacy.
