The Hochstift Augsburg was the secular domain of the Prince-Bishop of Augsburg until secularization at the beginning of the 19th century .
history
The Augsburg bishopric was created in the 11th to 13th centuries from various acquisitions by the bishops of Augsburg and by 1450 already had a relatively closed territory. From the 13th century there were violent disputes between the increasingly independent imperial city of Augsburg and the prince-bishopric, so that in the 15th century the main residence of the prince-bishops was relocated to Dillingen an der Donau . Prince-Bishop Otto Truchseß von Waldburg founded the University of Dillingen in 1549 , placed it under the leadership of the Jesuits in 1563 and made it a center of the Counter-Reformation . The last prince-bishop of Augsburg and ruler of the bishopric, which was dissolved during the secularization in 1802/03, was Clemens Wenzeslaus of Saxony . The possession of the bishopric within the city of Augsburg initially came to the imperial city of Augsburg. Due to the Bratislava Peace of December 26, 1805, Augsburg, which had already been occupied by Bavarian troops on December 21 , lost its imperial freedom and also fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria .

Expansion and administrative structure
The bishopric extended from the north ( nursing office Westendorf ) to the west (nursing office Zusmarshausen ) and the offices in the Augsburg Straßvogtei ( nursing offices Bobingen and Schwabmünchen ) to the Allgäu . At the time of secularization in 1802, it covered an area of around 3,000 square kilometers and had a population of around 100,000 residents who were subordinate to the land or court. The residences of the Augsburg prince-bishops were Augsburg and Dillingen , where the main episcopal residence was. There were also summer and secondary residences in Oberdorf (today Marktoberdorf ), Füssen and Bad Hindelang .
