This picture has been shown like five times in my lesson as an illustration. I know it’s in post WWI München but that is basically it. Who are the people and what is so important in it for it to get so munch attention ?
Thanks for those who answer

Funeral procession for Kurt Eisner: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Eisner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Eisner)
Google Lens will usually help you faster with such questions than reddit. 🙂
It’s the funeral march for Kurt Eisner in 1919.
He was a socialist Minister President of Bavaria (Peoples State of Bavaria as it was called then). He was one of the leaders of the bavarina revolution that led to the ousting of the Bavarian royal dynasty. He was on his way to parliament to resign when he was shot. In the aftermath the government fled and a short lived Bavarina Soviet Republic (Räterepublik in German) formed.
Somewhere in this crowd is a young austrian veteran of the war who became one of the biggest assholes and mass murderers of all time (there’s are other picture and film footage of him).
