Blogging about Bavarian Politics from Hotel
Bavaria is an interesting and very beautiful part of Germany with a rich history and an
interesting cultural and political heritage. The unique national identity and strong political views of a
great many Bavarian people could be successfully documented into an interesting political blog. German
politics may not seem like the most interesting subject for a blog, but there is something about Bavaria in
particular that would lend itself to being successfully culturally and politically defined through the blog medium.
A blog is not normally the most objective and academic of text publishing methods and would allow for a full and
contextual understanding of the Bavarian people and culture through the lens of politics.
Bavaria is a state in the Federal Republic of Germany located in the south eastern corner of
the nation. There are 12.5 million people who live there and its capital city is Munich. A political blog
about Bavaria would not have to be confined to just modern day politics, as it could be argued that the political
life of a region can only be truly understood if it is looked at with the context of past and present day cultural
and economic realities. Different sections of the blog could be dedicated to an understanding of the Bavarian
people through different perspectives. One section of the blogcould be about the history of Bavaria and how it has
been politically and culturally influenced in the past. Advertising could be a possibility and local
businesses such as different hotel Bavaria (Hotel Bayern) may
be interested in getting involved. Staying at some of these establishments while writing your blog would be a
very good idea.
The Bavarians originally emerged in a region north of the Alps that had been under Roman
rule. They always spoke Old High German and did not seem to migrate from anywhere but instead joined together
from groups that were left behind after the Roman withdrawal in the 5th century. This may be a hint of one of
the original reasons for their strong and independent present day identity. This sense of originality and
independence has been a feature of the Bavarian people and is one of the reasons why this region of Germany would
be a great subject for a blog. The Bavarian region was independent from the rest of Germany until 1871, and so
many aspects of Bavarian life are rather distinct from the rest of the nation.
Bavaria has a multi party political system where the two major parties are the Christian
Social Union (CSU) of Bavaria and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The CSU has absolutely
dominated the political sphere since 1957 and won every single election since then. What is interesting in Bavarian
politics today is that in the recent 2008 Bavarian State elections the CSU lost its absolute majority for the first
time in 46 years. The CSU will have to form government with coalition partners for the first time in 46 years,
making for a very interesting few years ahead. This dramatic shift in Bavarian politics makes right now the perfect
time to be blogging about these matters.
Before starting a political blog on the area it would be a good idea to stay at some local
hotels to get a feel for the region and its people. You don't really know a region until you stay there for a
bit, and the many Greenline hotel offers (Greenline Hotelangebote) can make this an affordable reality. The current political climate of Bavaria makes for interesting
reading by political students everywhere. This fact when combined with the unique culture of the Bavarian
people could potentially make a Bavarian political blog very successful indeed. regular
