Luitpold Karl Joseph Wilhelm of Bavaria (March 12, 1821 in Würzburg – December 12, 1912 in Munich) was Prince Regent of the Kingdom of Bavaria from 1886 until his death; first for three days for his nephew King Ludwig II, then for his mentally ill brother Otto I. While his reign brought about a great cultural boom in Munich, for Bavaria it meant the gradual retreat of Bavarian interests to those of the German Empire.

Luitpold von Bayern was born in the Würzburg Residence[1] as the fifth child and third son of King Ludwig I of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghausen. His siblings were Maximilian (* 1811, later King of Bavaria), Mathilde (* 1813), Otto (* 1815, later King of Greece), Theodolinde (* 1816), Adelgunde (1823-1914), Hildegard (* 1825), Alexandra (b. 1826), later Abbess of St. Anna in Munich, and Adalbert (b. 1828). Luitpold was his father's favorite son.
