Our focus in Bavaria is actually on the Wittelsbach dynasty, but at the level of nation Hohenzollern is undisputed amongst almost all monarchists O0
From my IMC (International Monarchist Conference) contact in France I know their situation is quite different, because France has historically not the federal strucutre as Germany has.

Yes and no. The speeches are on monarchist activities during the republican NS-regime, on the legal state of the nobility and on the meaning of inherited values in 21st century. None of these speeches will actually promote monarchy, but the connection still is obvious. The first one is probably the most important, since it brings a new view into the never-ending history debate in Germany and Freiherr von Aretin is one of the most respectable historican ^-^

Well, I would rather argue that problems would arise, if there were only one single monarchy in Germany. It could be I'm too much influenced by historical situation here, but Germany always had a federal structure. Only exception was the period of 1933-45 where everything was under the rule of one single person. Though this person is not comparable with a monarch, since the NS-regime still was a repubic, but people here are very suspicious if someone argues against the federalism.
Thus the only problem that could arise from regional monarchies is the role of the nation-wide monarch. In the past his title was "Kaiser" which leans against "Cesar" and thus can be seen as a reference on Germany being the successor of the Roman Empire. Actually in a sense this reference is even justified, but conservative Russians see their state also as successor of the Roman Empire. For that reason it is truly wise to deliberately understate the role of the german monarch/kaiser/king!
Harzel:
Why do you need these monarchs anyway, what good would they bring?
