 Albert (Archbishop) - LoveToKnow 1911
ALBERT (1490-1545), elector and archbishop of Mainz, and archbishop of Magdeburg, was the younger son of John Cicero, elector of Brandenburg, and was born on the 28th of June 1490.
Having studied at the university of Frankfort-on-the-Oder, he entered the ecclesiastical profession, and in 1513 became archbishop of Magdeburg and administrator of the diocese of Halberstadt.
His hostility towards the reformers, however, was not so extreme as that of his brother Joachim I., elector of Brandenburg; and he appears to have exerted himself in the interests of peace, although he was a member of the league of Nuremberg, which was formed in 1538 as a counterpoise to the league of Schmalkalden.

 WHKMLA : Siege of Magdeburg, 1550-1551
Magdeburg was the seat of the Prince-Archbishops of Magdeburg and never gained the status of an Immediate or Free Imperial City.
Following the Schmalkaldic War 1546-1547, the city of Magdeburg (not the Princebishopric) refused to accept the Augsburg Interim of 1547 and was banned.
Magdeburg attracted Lutheran refugees from many parts of Germany (the population, due to the refugees, had risen to 40,000), and in the city publications by uncompromising Lutheran theologians rejecting the Augsburg Interim, such as Hartmann Beyer of Frankfurt, were printed; the city was nicknamed "Unseres Herrgotts Kanzlei" (Our Lord's Chancery).

In the 15th century lengthy conflicts between the council, the salt panners and an oposition within the city gave the Archbishop of Magdeburg a chance to intervene in 1478 when he sent troops in and forced the town back into strict feudal dependence.
