 Holy Roman Empire elector
In the Holy Roman Empire, the electors or electoral princes (the German term is Kurfürst, with the plural Kurfürsten) had the function of electing the king of Germany preparatory to his accession as the next emperor, though until the 12th century they often merely formalized what was in fact a dynastic succession.
In 1623, the Elector Palatine Frederick V was banned for his involvement with the revolt of Bohemia, and his electorate was given to the Duke of Bavaria (Maximilian I), who became known as the Elector of Bavaria.
The Archbishops of Trier and Cologne were eliminated, and Karl Theodor von Dalberg[?], the Archbishop of Mainz, was moved to Regensburg and given the title of Prince-Primate of the Empire.

 Palatinate
In the Golden Bull of 1356, the Palatinate was made one of the secular electorates, and given the hereditary offices of Archsteward of the Empire and Imperial Vicar of the western half of Germany.
When the senior branch of the family died out in 1559, the Electorate passed to Frederick III of Simmern, a staunch Calvinist, and the Palatinate became one of the major centers of Calvinism in Europe, supporting Calvinist rebellions in both the Netherlands and France.
The childless Karl Theodor also inherited Bavaria when its electoral line became extinct in 1777, and all the Wittelsbach lands save Zweibrücken on the French border (whose Duke was, in fact, Karl Theodor's presumptive heir) were now under a single rule.

 Congress of Ems
Pius VI erected this nunciature upon the urgent request of the Elector of Bavaria, who was loath to have parts of his territory under the spiritual jurisdiction of bishops who, being electors like himself, were rather his equals than his subordinates.
The Elector of Bavaria likewise remained a zealous defender of the pope and his nuncio at Munich, and even the Protestant King Frederick II of Prussia was an opponent of the "Punctation" and favoured the nuncio Pacca at Cologne.
He desired Karl Theodor von Dalberg as coadjutor, and, to obtain the consent of Rome, he withdrew, at least apparently, from the "Punctation" and obtained a renewal of his quinquennial faculties from Rome on 9 Aug., 1787.

 RESCUING THE MANNHEIM MUSIC - New York Times
During those years of Karl Theodor von Sulzbach's rule as Elector Palatine, the Mannheim court orchestra was famous throughout Europe for its unprecedented virtuosity and brilliance.
While it may not be historically correct to say that the modern symphony orchestra was actually born in mid-18th-century Mannheim, that city was the scene of extraordinary changes in orchestral technique and compositional styles, developments that were to affect the course of musical history.
The innovations of the Mannheim musicians would probably not have been possible without the generosity of Elector Karl Theodor, a music-loving prince who poured millions of gulden into the expansion and upkeep of his proud cultural possession - when he became Elector of Bavaria in 1778, most of his musicians moved with him to Munich.
