Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Peace of Augsburg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) The Peace of Augsburg was a treaty signed between Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and the forces of the Schmalkaldic League on September 25, 1555 at the city of Augsburg in Germany. Although the Peace of Augsburg was moderately successful in relieving tension in the empire and increasing tolerance, it left important things undone. By aligning religious divisions with political divisions, the Peace of Augsburg fixed the patchwork of states that characterized Germany into the 19th century. www.hallencyclopedia.com /Peace_of_Augsburg   (333 words)

Free Cities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) Augsburg is known as the site where Luther defied the Papal legate in 1518, and where the treaty of Augsburg (1555) was formulated and signed, acknowledging the status quo ante of religious division in Germany. The town is perhaps best-known as the point of origin for a particular breed of guard dog, based on a type of war mastiff abandoned by retreating Roman troops in the 4th century CE. An important bishopric in the Middle Ages, the town was often the site of Imperial councils and Diets - it was here, in April of 1521, that Martin Luther, summoned under safe-conduct to answer and recant, made his final break ("Here stand I, I cannot do otherwise. www.hostkingdom.net /FreeCities.html   (807 words)

Holy Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the common case of a Prince-Bishop, this temporal territory (called prince-bishopric) frequently overlapped his -often larger- ecclesiastical diocese (bishopric), giving the Bishop both worldly and clerical powers. Religious conflicts were waged in various parts of Europe for a century, though in German regions there was relative quiet from the Peace of Augsburg in 1555 until the Defenestration of Prague in 1618. When Bohemians rebelled against the emperor, the immediate result was the series of conflicts known as the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), which devastated the Empire. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire   (5691 words)

Augsburg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) For example, Aegridus was the son of the famous Augsburg Patrician Lucas Rem and Magdelena Welser. The city of Augsburg in that period (and the Rem family) owed its wealth to being at the center of the overland shipping network that transported goods from around the world from Venice to northern Europe; Lucas Rem for example worked in Venice, Lisbon, and Antwerp. According to Thomas Safley (author of Matheus Miller's Memoir, St Martin's Press, NY 2000 and source of the map above) states that the inflation of 1622-23, epidemic of 1627-28, and siege of 1634-35, decimated the population, ruined the economy, and shook the society. www.cba.hawaii.edu /remus/genes/Bavaria/home.htm   (791 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: France Thus the war against Holland, and that against the League of Augsburg, and his intervention in the affairs of England were in some respects the result of of religious policy and of a desire to uphold Catholicism in Europe. The long and complex reign of Louis XIV, in spite of the disasters which mark its close, gained for France the possession of Flanders, and of Franche-Comté, and saw a Bourbon, Philip V, grandson of Louis XIV, seated on the throne of Spain. The Concordat of 1851 set up fifty bishoprics and ten archbishoprics; the Concordat of 1817 made a fresh arrangement, which was realized in 1822 and 1823 by the creation of new bishoprics. www.newadvent.org /cathen/06166a.htm   (15107 words)

Pastor Paul T. McCain Cyberbrethren: June 2004 Archives The Augsburg Confession was intentionally crafted to present as gentle and peaceful response to the Emperor as possible. Melanchthon and his followers were willing to accept the Augsburg Interim compromise even of the doctrine of justification, allowing it to state that we are not saved by faith alone, but that a person's inner renewal is part of salvation. Emperor Charles V was forced to flee from Augsburg, and even the Roman Catholics meeting at Trent were so afraid they interrupted their meetings and fled to their homes. paulmccain.worldmagblog.com /paulmccain/archives/2004_06.html   (13566 words)

Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), Germany Aachen was annexed by France in 1801 and given to Prussia after the Congress of Vienna (1814–15).

Bavaria Archives - GenWiki You can read them on microfiche in the Diocese Archive, with two exceptions: In Augsburg, they are on microfilm instead of microfiche, in Passau, there was a digitalization program instead, which is not yet completed, and you will have to read the original records instead. Only few parishes have ordered copies of the microfiche of their records, so in these few cases, they can be alternatively read in the parish as well. The alphabetical indices of the wedding records are digitalized for the Diocese of Passau (not all wedding records have indices though!), so the staff of Passau Diocesan Archives is able to find wedding records even if the parish is not exactly known. wiki-en.genealogy.net /wiki/Bavaria_Archives   (846 words)

Drive-Cycle-Hiking Through The Alps: Summer Tour ~ by Jorg Unger Over the centuries the fortress had become a castle and in the late 13th century, the first town wall surrounded the small settlement as well as the castle that stood - still unfinished - on a hill near the banks of the river Lech. When the bishopric of Augsburg acquired the place in 1322, the castle was completed to a summer residence for the bishop. Between 1490 and 1504, it was extended into an imposing Burgschloss (fortified castle) and received its present shape, including the outer fortifications. www.escapeartist.com /efam/76/Touring_The_Alps.html   (1966 words)
