During the period of the Second Empire (1871 - 1918), Germany was composed of quasi independent states, each of which, while having an overall fielty to the Kaiser, fielded its own armed forces. As a result, the German forces in World War One actually consisted of the armies of the various states, including those of Prussia, Bavaria, Wurttemburg and Saxony.
