Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg

The Prince-Bishopric of Augsburg was one of the prince-bishoprics of the Holy Roman Empire, and belonged to the Swabian Circle. It should not be confused with the Diocese of Augsburg, which while administered by the same individual, was considerably larger than the Prince-Bishopric.

The city of Augsburg proper, after it gained Free Imperial Status, was a separate entity and constitutionally and politically independent of the Prince-Bishopric of the same name until both states ceased to exist in 1803.
