The Bayerischer Landtag is the parliament of the Free State of Bavaria and one of its highest constitutional bodies. It is located in the historic Maximilianeum in Munich and plays a central role in the political landscape of Bavaria.

• Formation of the State Government: The Landtag elects the Minister-President and confirms the members of the state government[1][3].

The Bayerischer Landtag stands for the promotion of democracy and the representation of the interests of the Bavarian population. It places great importance on transparency and citizen participation. By involving citizens in political processes, democratic participation is strengthened.

The Landtag is committed to accessibility and inclusion. Since 2017, it has carried the "Bayern barrierefrei" sign and offers information in Easy Language to facilitate access for people with reading difficulties[4]. Additionally, it operates the children's house MiniMaxi to promote the compatibility of family and work for its employees[5].

The Landtag plans to move to a new building complex in the Altstadt-Lehel district to create more space for parliamentary work and better working conditions[5]. Furthermore, a children's commission advocates for the rights and protection of children[5].

The Bayerischer Landtag is a vibrant center of democracy that continuously evolves to meet the needs of the population.
