Kurt Eisner (German pronunciation:[kʊʁtˈʔaɪsnɐ]; 14 May 1867 – 21 February 1919)[1] was a German politician, revolutionary, journalist, and theatre critic. As a socialist journalist, he organized the socialist revolution that overthrew the Wittelsbach monarchy in Bavaria in November 1918, which led to him being described as "the symbol of the Bavarian revolution".[2][1] He is used as an example of charismatic authority by Max Weber.[3] Eisner subsequently proclaimed the People's State of Bavaria but was assassinated by far-right German nationalist Anton Graf von Arco auf Valley in Munich on 21 February 1919.
