Abolition
Together with the secularisation of the archbishopric in 1803, the bishropric lost its function as territory as well. In 1808 the diocese was abolished after the last bishop waived his rights. Temporary under the rule of the Ordinariate of the Bishopric of Freising, the Austrian parts returned to Salzburg and got added to the Bishopric of Brixen in 1817/18, the rest becoming regular part of newly renamed Bishopric of Munich-Freising.

Famous quotes containing the word abolition:
“It was a marvel, an enigma in abolition latitudes, that the slaves did not rise en-masse, at the beginning of hostilities.”
—Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“We Abolition Women are turning the world upside down.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
