History
The Archbishopric of Salzburg was secularized in 1803 as part of the German Mediatisation and reorganized as the Electorate of Salzburg. The electorate was created for Ferdinand III, former Grand Duke of Tuscany. Its territory also included parts of the Berchtesgaden Provostry, the Bishopric of Eichstätt, and the Bishopric of Passau.
Austrian rule
The electorate passed to the Austrian Empire according to the 1805 Peace of Pressburg; Ferdinand was compensated with the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, while the Eichstätt and Passau areas fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria.
Bavarian rule
Salzburg then passed from Austria to Bavaria in the 1809 Treaty of Schönbrunn.
Division between Austria and Bavaria
The region was divided between Austria and Bavaria in the 1814 Peace of Paris and was subsequently administered from Linz in the Archduchy of Upper Austria. The Salzburg region became the Duchy of Salzburg in 1850.
