Bishopric Of Freising
The Prince-Bishopric of Freising (German: ''Hochstift Freising'') was an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire from 1294 until its secularisation in the early years of the 19th century. The Prince-Bishopric of Freising should not be confused with the diocese of Freising, which was considerably larger and over which the prince-bishop's authority was that of an ordinary bishop and therefore limited to spiritual and pastoral matters. Geography While the prince-bishopric's territory was comparatively small, it was very fragmented and its lands were dispersed over a wide area, from central Bavaria and Tyrol in the west to Austria, Styria and Carniola in the east (see map). In 1800, the 15,000 subjects of the Prince-Bishop lived in the following areas: * Immediate lordships: ** the City of Freising on the Isar river, located about north of Munich, with a population of approximately 4,000 (as of 1800 AD) ** the adjacent County of Ismaning (also called ''Yserrain'' ...

Groß-Enzersdorf
Groß-Enzersdorf is a town and municipality in the district of Gänserndorf in the Austrian state of Lower Austria, directly to the east of Vienna and north of the river Danube. Apart from the town itself, it also comprises seven subordinated municipalities. History While the area of the municipality was probably inhabited in pre-Roman times, the first written mention of the settlement by the name of ''Encinesdorf'' dates to 1160. At its current location, an estate was founded in about 870. The terrain comprising this estate (the island ''Sahsonaganc'', which roughly coincides with today's municipality) was donated to the Weihenstephan Abbey by Henry II in 1021, only to be transferred to the Diocese of Freising in 1028. While the general area was also under the influence of the Diocese of Passau, a document of 1202 formally associates the church in Groß-Enzersdorf to the Diocese of Freising. By 1298, all of ''Sahsonaganc'' belonged to the Diocese of Freising and the administrati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Altbayern
Altbayern ( Bavarian: ''Oidbayern'', also written Altbaiern, English: "Old Bavaria") is the territory and people of the three oldest parts of the Free State of Bavaria, which were earlier known as Kurbayern (English: "Electoral Bavaria") after the former Electorate of Bavaria. Altbayern mainly consists of the following Bavarian ''Regierungsbezirke'' (administrative regions): * Upper Bavaria (''Oberbayern'') * Lower Bavaria (''Niederbayern'') * Upper Palatinate (''Oberpfalz'') Since the term ''Altbayern'' is based on the cultural difference compared to Franconia (i.e. Upper, Middle and Lower Franconia) as well as with Swabia (i.e. Bavarian Swabia), some areas surrounding the Upper Franconian town of Wunsiedel as well as the Swabian Aichach-Friedberg district are counted as part of Altbayern, because they share the same history, dialect and culture as the three previously mentioned districts. Strictly speaking, the Upper Austrian Innviertel also belongs to Altbayern, since it was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mittenwald
Mittenwald is a German municipality in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria. Geography Mittenwald is located approximately 16 kilometres to the south-east of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

History Mittenwald, along with Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the west, was acquired by the Prince-Bishopric of Freising in the late 14th century and the "crowned Aethiopian" head that is part of Mittenwald's coat of arms recalls that 400-year association that ended when the Prince-Bishopric was secularized in 1802-03 and its territory annexed to Bavaria. Mittenwald's location as an important transit centre on a relatively low (and therefore predictable) transalpine route ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

County Of Werdenfels
The County of Werdenfels (German: ''Grafschaft Werdenfels'') in the present-day Werdenfelser Land in South Germany was a county that enjoyed imperial immediacy that belonged to the Bishopric of Freising from the late 13th century until the secularisation of the Bishopric in 1803.

The county was divided into three administrative areas: Garmisch, Partenkirchen and Mittenwald. The senior judge (''Pfleger'') had his seat in Garmisch, where he held his hearings (''Gerichtstage''). Court sessions initially took place at the castle, but in 1632 they were moved to Schwaigwang. The county had considerable ore and silver deposits. Of even greater economic importance was its control of the trading routes to Italy at the beginning of the Modern Era. Goods that came from the south (spices, fruit, incense, wine) had to be deposited in Mittenwald for a fee while g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Isar
The Isar is a river in Tyrol, Austria, and Bavaria, Germany, which is not navigable for watercraft above raft size. Its source is in the Karwendel range of the Alps in Tyrol; it enters Germany near Mittenwald and flows through Bad Tölz, Munich, and Landshut before reaching the Danube near Deggendorf. At in length, it is the fourth largest river in Bavaria, after the Danube, Inn, and Main. It is Germany's second most important tributary of the Danube after the Inn. Etymology One theory is that the name ''Isar'' comes from the hypothetical Indo-European root ''*es'' or ''*is'', which generally meant "flowing water" and later turned into a word with a meaning narrowed to frozen water (hence English ''ice'', german: Eis) in Proto-Germanic; the name itself is mentioned for the first time in 763 as ''Isura''. An older theory is that it comes from Celtic words and the name ''Isar'' is a construction of the Celtic stems ''ys'' "fast, torrential" and ''ura'' "water, river". Accordin ...
