He was a member of the House of Palatinate-Sulzbach, a branch of the House of Wittelsbach.

His mother was Marie-Anne-Henriette- Leopoldine de La Tour d'Auvergne, Margravine of Bergen op Zoom, a grandniece of Henri de La Successor Maximilian IV Joseph 1 of 11 07/15/2021, 03:04 Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Theodore,_Elector_of_Bavaria Tour d'Auvergne, Viscount of Turenne. Charles Theodore was born in Drogenbos near Brussels and educated in Mannheim. Born 11 December 1724 Drogenbos, Charles Theodore was the Margrave of Bergen op Zoom from 1728 onwards. He then succeeded his Brussels, Austrian father as Count Palatine of Sulzbach in 1733 and inherited the Electoral Palatinate and the duchies Netherlands of Jülich and Berg in 1742, with the death of Charles III Philip, Elector Palatine. To strengthen the Died 16 February 1799 union of all lines of the Wittelsbach dynasty Charles III Philip had organised a wedding on 17 January 1742 when his granddaughter Elizabeth Augusta was married to Charles Theodore and her (aged 74) sister Maria Anna to the Bavarian prince Clement. Munich Residenz, Bavaria As reigning Prince Elector Palatine, Charles Theodore won the hearts of his subjects by founding an Burial Theatine Church, academy of science, stocking up the museums' collections and supporting the arts. When Munich Maximilian III Joseph of Bavaria died in 1777, Charles Theodore became also Elector and Duke of Bavaria and moved to Munich. Spouse Countess Palatine Elisabeth Augusta of Bavarian succession Sulzbach Archduchess Maria Leopoldine of Charles Theodore did not immediately take up his new title. He had several mistresses and many illegitimate children. However, these Austria-Este children could inherit neither the Electorate of Bavaria nor that of the House House of Wittelsbach Palatine; Charles Theodore needed territory that he could bequeath to his Father John Christian, illegitimate children. Charles Theodore also dreamed of resurrecting the Count Palatine of Burgundian Empire of the Middle Ages. Sulzbach On 3 January 1778, shortly after the death of Max Joseph, Charles Mother Maria Henriette de Charles Theodore Theodore signed an agreement with Emperor Joseph II to exchange La Tour d'Auvergne southern Bavaria for part of the Austrian Netherlands. The plan was strongly opposed by Maria Anna Sophia of Saxony, the widow of Max Joseph, and Charles Theodore's cousin Charles II August, Duke of Zweibrücken, the head of the House of Palatinate-Birkenfeld and next heir of Bavaria and the Palatinate. They were supported by Frederick II of Prussia, and most of the German minor states. The ensuing diplomatic crisis led to the War of the Bavarian Succession, which was ended by the Peace of Teschen (1779). Charles Theodore accepted the Bavarian succession, but agreed that his illegitimate descendants could not inherit Bavaria.[2] Austria acquired the Innviertel, a part of Bavaria in the basin of the Inn river.[3] Charles Theodore had only one son with his wife, Countess Elizabeth Augusta of Sulzbach, who died a day after birth. His wife died in 2 of 11 07/15/2021, 03:04 Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Theodore,_Elector_of_Bavaria 1794. In 1795, he married Maria Leopoldine of Austria-Este, Joseph's niece, but they had no children. A second proposal to exchange Bavaria for the Austrian Netherlands in 1784 also failed as Frederick II of Prussia initiated the Fürstenbund. When Charles Theodore died, Bavaria and the Electorate passed to his cousin, Max Joseph, Duke of Zweibrücken, the younger brother of Charles August, who had died in 1795. In 1989, Marvin E. Thomas argued in Karl Theodor and the Bavarian Succession, 1777–1778 that Charles Theodore wanted to maintain possession of his new territory, as is shown in his diplomatic correspondence. Thomas is the only scholar to produce such an analysis.[2] It is more widely understood that Charles Theodore continued the despotic and expensive habits he had developed as Elector Palatine. Rule as elector of Bavaria Charles Theodore never became popular as a ruler in Bavaria according to his critic Lorenz von Westenrieder. He attempted, without success to exchange the ducal lands of Bavaria, for the Austrian Netherlands and a royal crown, and he never managed to control the mounting social tensions in Bavaria. After a dispute with Munich's city council, he even moved the electoral residence in 1788 to Mannheim but returned only one year later.[4] In 1785, he appointed the American Loyalist exile Benjamin Thompson as his aide-de-camp and chamberlain. Over the next 11 years, Thompson reformed the army and many aspects of the state, rising to high ministerial rank with Charles Theodore's backing, and becoming Count von Rumford. Charles Theodore is also known for disbanding Adam Weishaupt's order of the Illuminati in 1785. In 1794, the armies of revolutionary France occupied the Duchy of Jülich, in 1795 they invaded the Palatinate, and in 1796 marched towards Bavaria. Charles Theodore begged Francis II for help that would have made Bavaria a puppet state of Austria. When he died of a stroke in Munich in 1799, the population in Munich celebrated for several days. He is buried in the crypt of the Theatinerkirche in Munich. Despite the mutual dislike and distrust between the Duke and his Bavarian subjects, Charles Theodore left a distinctive mark on the city of Munich: it was during his reign that the English Garden, Munich's largest park, was created, and the city's old fortifications were dismantled to make place for a modern, expanding city. One of Munich's major squares, Karlsplatz, is named after Charles Theodore. Munich natives, however, seldom use that name, calling the square instead Stachus, after the pub "Beim Stachus" that was located there until construction work for Karlsplatz began, mainly because Charles Theodore, as noted above, never enjoyed the popularity in Bavaria that he enjoyed in the Palatinate. Character Silver thaler coin of Charles Theodore, 1778. 3 of 11 07/15/2021, 03:04 Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Theodore,_Elector_of_Bavaria Charles Theodore was more interested in arts and philosophy than in politics. Victorian historian Thomas Carlyle referred to him as a "poor idle creature, of purely egoistical, ornamental, dilettante nature; sunk in theatricals, bastard children and the like; much praised by Voltaire, who sometimes used to visit him; and Collini, to whom he [Charles Theodore] is a kind master."[5] The French foreign minister, Charles Gravier, comte de Vergennes, knew him and described his foibles even more succinctly: Although by nature intelligent, he has never succeeded in ruling by Obverse Reverse himself; he has always been governed by his ministers or by his CAR[OLUS] TH[EODORUS] PATRONA BAVARIAE 1778. father-confessor or (for a time) by the [E]lectress [his wife].

Cultural legacy Charles Theodore was a great lover of the arts, including drama and especially music. His Mannheim court orchestra was considered one of the finest in its time. The Mannheim School (including composer Christian Cannabich and conductor Johann Stamitz) did groundbreaking work that the celebrated Wiener Klassik would later draw upon. Mozart applied for a position with the Mannheim orchestra in 1777, but was turned down, as the court was about to move to Munich.

  • Born 600 Years Ago at Heidelberg Palace: Mechthild Von Der Pfalz
    THE STATE PALACES AND GARDENS OF BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG STAATLICHE SCHLÖSSER UND GÄRTEN BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG PRESS RELEASE MARCH 2019 / 3 PAGES HEIDELBERG CASTLE: MECHTHILD VON DER PFALZ Heidelberg Castle Born 600 years ago at Heidelberg Palace: Mechthild von der Pfalz 2019 marks the 600th anniversary of her birth. Her story: On March 7, 1419, Mechthild von der Pfalz was born in Heidelberg Palace, the daughter of Prince- Elector Ludwig III, later the wife of two important rulers. She was a highly cultured woman and the center of a "Musenhof", a court of muses. She was the driving force behind the founding of two of the state's academic institutions, continuing a family tradition, which began with the founding of Heidelberg University by Prince-Elector Ruprecht I in 1386. Her birthday falls the day before International Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8 — one more reason why the State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg is commemorating this famous resident of the Electoral Palatinate. THE ROYAL RESIDENCE 600 YEARS AGO As the daughter of Prince-Elector Ludwig von der Pfalz and his wife, Countess Matilda von Savoyen-Achaja, Mechthild was born in Heidelberg Palace on March 7, 1419. The castle was still very much a medieval structure, not one of the grandiose palaces that characterize the area today. The Ruprechtsbau structure, commissioned by and named after her grandfather, King Ruprecht I, was not completed until just before Mechthild's birth. It is the oldest surviving residential structure on the castle grounds and is one of the last remnants of the late medieval castle.
