In 1934, the Bavarian parliament was, like all other state parliaments, dissolved too.[7] Shortly after, Bavaria itself was broken up during the reorganisation of the Reich.[8] Instead of the states, Reichsgaue were established as administrative sub-divisions. Bavaria was split into six regions, the Reichsgaue Schwaben, München-Oberbayern, Bayerische Ostmark, Franken, Main-Franken and Westmark.
