The Salzachkreis (after the district capital Salzburg or sometimes also called Salzburgkreis or Salzburger Kreis after older names) was one of the districts of the Archduchy of Austria ob der Enns in the Austrian Empire , and comprised the current state of Salzburg (the demarcation along the first unregulated, later regulated Salzach has only changed very small areas), i.e. large parts of the former prince-archbishopric of Salzburg .
Austrian history (1816–1849)
The Duchy of Salzburg , which was occupied by the French during the Napoleonic Wars and handed over to Bavaria in the Paris Treaty , belonged to the royal Bavarian Salzach district from 1806 to 1810 .
The part of the Salzach district that fell to the Habsburg Monarchy after the Peace of Paris in 1814 and the final defeat of Napoleon in 1816 was not restored independently, although the ducal dignity passed back to Francis I : After the Congress of Vienna , the area of the duchy was renamed the Salzach district in 1816 (isolated after the district capital also known as the district of Salzburg ) is attached to the crown land of the Archduchy of Austria above the Enns, but the Innkreis (Innviertel) , which was added under Bavarian occupation, was independently restored. It formed the fifth district for over three decades , alongside the four classic quarters Innkreis, Hausruckkreis , Traunkreis and Mühlkreis . The western parts of Salzburg, which up to now always belonged to Salzburg, the Mühldorf nursing court and the Rupertiwinkel (with the nursing courts Waging , Tittmoning , Laufen , Staufenegg and Teisendorf ) as well as the former prince provostship of Berchtesgaden remained with Bavaria, the area Zillertal and Windischmatrei (Matrei in Osttirol) were affiliated to the Kronland Tirol .
In 1848/49 (imperial resolution of June 26, 1849) the crown land of Salzburg was formed from the Oberennsischer Kreis . On January 1st, 1850, this part was reinstated as an independent Austrian crown land , with the rank of duchy as it had been since 1806, and received its own governor, governor, and its own representation and administration.
