		The bishop, as the guardian of these passes, was gradually given all the fiscal rights of the duchy by the Emperor, rights of toll and mint, half the town of Chur, and many other privileges.
		The spiritual and political emancipation of the citizens from the bishop resulted in the Hof (the residence of the bishop) becoming a religious and political enclave, a situation which remained until the introduction of the cantonal constitution in 1854 and which led to many disputes, for instance concerning the right of sanctuary.

	Saint Gall
		On the death of the provost in 1819 this district fell to the Diocese of Chur.

		This is a victory for the people and clergy of Chur in the sense that Haas has had imposed on him auxiliaries that he did not seek and would not have chosen.
