Kurt Eisner (May 14, 1867 – February 21, 1919) was a politician, revolutionary, journalist, and theatre critic from Germany. 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". He is used as an example of charismatic authority by Max Weber. Eisner subsequently proclaimed the People's State of Bavaria but was assassinated by German nationalist Anton Graf von Arco auf Valley in Munich on February 21, 1919.
