We have dedicated ourselves to the delivery, stimulation and cultivation of political knowledge in Bavaria and Germany above all party lines. Thus we are working towards a stronger foundation of our democracy and its international relations. Not only do we keep a focus on state and federal policies, but to various sites of political processes worldwide and pick up on the latest topics in politics, economy and society and make them a subject of discussion. The academy was founded by the Bavarian Parliament in 1957 as an autonomous and independent public-law institution. The academy is financed by the Free State of Bavaria, but retains full independence in the statutory framework set forth by the Bavarian Ministry of Culture and Education. It cannot be compared to any other institution for political education in Germany. We conduct – partially in cooperation with other partners – courses, seminars, workshops and scholarly conferences on our own premises in Tutzing on Lake Starnberg. Besides that, we arrange conferences and roundtable discussions with politicians and other figures of public prominence throughout Bavaria. Most of the seminars we offer are organized by our own renowned experts who invite subject familiar professionals from all over the world. In exceptional cases, we host seminars with other institutions. Our biannual program is available in German. Imprint: https://www.apb-tutzing.de/kontakt/impressum.php
