Deutsch: Der Thronverzicht Ludwigs I. von Bayern. Eigenhändiger Entwurf der Königlichen Worte an die Bayern, 20. März 1848. München, Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, Staatsrat 1719.

Bayern!

Eine neue Richtung hat begonnen, eine andere,
als die in der Verfaſſungsurkunde enthaltene
in welcher Ich nun im 23ſten Jahre geherrſcht.
Ich lege die Krone nieder zu Gunſten meines
geliebten Sohnes des Kronprinzen Maximilian.
Treu der Verfaſſung regierte Ich; dem Wohle
des Volkes war mein Leben geweyht, als wenn
Ich eines Frayſtaates Beamter geweſen, ſo
gewiſſenhaft ging Ich mit dem Staatsgute, mit
den Staatsgeldern um. Ich kann Jedem offen
in die Augen ſehen. Und nun Meinen tief
gefühlten Dank Allen die Mir anhingen.
Auch vom Throne herabgeſtiegen ſchlägt glühend
mein Herz für Bayern, für Teutſchland.

München 20 März 1848.
Ludwig

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1868, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
