Bavarians live in southeast Germany’s populous alpine state of Bavaria. In 1806, the Kingdom of Bavaria was established when the Roman Empire was abolished and it existed until 1918. Afterwards Bavaria became a Republic and then in 1946 a state of the Federal Republic of Germany. Bavarians have a strong national identity separate from Germany, considering themselves “Bavarian” first and “German” second.
