City arms

The list of mayors of the city of Salzburg begins with the first mayor known by name , Konrad Taufkind (around 1370). Emperor Friedrich III. 1481 granted the city through a council letter the right to appoint the city ​​council and the mayor. However, the city of Salzburg itself has been calling its lords as mayors since Konrad Taufkind.
