Kurt Eisner was born in Berlin on 14 May 1867, to Emanuel Eisner and Hedwig Levenstein.
Eisner studied philosophy, but later became a journalist in Marburg.
In 1892 and 1893 he contributed to the Frankfurter Zeitung and thereafter wrote articles for various socialist papers. From 1899 to 1905 he was editor of Vorwärts. Vorwarts. Before World War I he was imprisoned several times for inflammatory writings, which included an attack on Kaiser Wilhelm II. He voted with the majority of the Social Democratic group in 1914 for the war credits but in 1917 joined the independent Socialist Party. In January 1918 he was convicted of treason but was released because he was a candidate for the Reichstag. At a mass meeting in Munich on November 7 he declared the Bavarian monarchy overthrown and proclaimed a "People's Government" with himself at the head of the "Workers', Soldiers', and Peasants' Council. " He rejected representative government but guaranteed a free press and the security of property. On 23 November 1918, he leaked documents, from the Bavarian plenipotentiary in Berlin during July and August 1914. He was premier of this Bavarian revolutionary government until February 21, 1919, when Anton Graf von Arco auf Valley Arco-Vally, a German nationalist, assassinated him in Munich.
His murder led to the short-lived 1919 Bavarian Communist regime, overthrown by federal German troops. The Passau labor union tried to stage a play about Eisner at the bishopric theater in 1920, but Reichswehr soldiers and high school students sabotaged it, using weapons from the military arsenal, which triggered media headlines and a variety of judicial procedures. In 1989, a monument was installed in the pavement at the site of Eisner's assassination. It reads, "Kurt Eisner, who proclaimed the Bavarian republic on 8 November 1918 – later Prime Minister of the Republic of Bavaria – was murdered here on 21 February 1919. "
