Inner Austria ( German : Innerösterreich , Slovene : Notranja Avstrija , Italian : Austria Interiore ) was a term used from the late 14th to the early 17th century for the Habsburg hereditary lands south of the Semmering Pass , referring to the Imperial duchies of Styria , Carinthia and Carniola and the lands of the Austrian Littoral . The residence of the Inner Austrian archdukes and stadtholders was at the Burg castle complex in Graz .
Austria ( /ˈɒstriə/ ( listen ) , /ˈɔːs-/ ; German : Österreich [ ˈøːstɐʁaɪ̯ç ] ( listen ) ) , officially the Republic of Austria ( German : Republik Österreich , listen ( help·info ) ) , is a landlocked East Alpine country in the southern part of Central Europe . It is composed of nine federated states ( Bundesländer ) , one of which is Vienna , Austria 's capital and its largest city . It is bordered by Germany to the northwest , Czech Republic to the north , Slovakia to the northeast , Hungary to the east , Slovenia and Italy to the south , and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west . Austria occupies an area of 83,879 km2 ( 32,386 sq mi ) and has a population of nearly 9 million people . While German is the country 's official language , many Austrians communicate informally in a variety of Bavarian dialects . Austria initially emerged as a margraviate around 976 and developed into a duchy and archduchy . In the 16th century , Austria started serving as the heart of the Habsburg Monarchy and the junior branch of the House of Habsburg - one of the most influential royal dynasties in history . As an archduchy , it was a major component and administrative centre of the Holy Roman Empire . Early in the 19th century , Austria established its own empire , which became a great power and the leading force of the German Confederation but pursued its own course independently of the other German states . Following the Austro-Prussian War and the compromise with Hungary , the Dual Monarchy was established . Austria was involved in World War I under Emperor Franz Joseph following the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand , the presumptive successor to the Austro-Hungarian throne . After the defeat and the dissolution of the Monarchy , the Republic of German-Austria was proclaimed with the intent of the union with Germany , which eventually failed because of the Allied Powers and the state remained unrecognized .
Irsee Abbey , also the Imperial Abbey of Irsee ( German : Reichsabtei Irsee ) , was a Benedictine abbey located at Irsee near Kaufbeuren in Bavaria . The self-ruling imperial abbey was secularized in the course of the German mediatization of 1802-1803 and its territory annexed to Bavaria . The buildings of the former abbey now house a conference and training centre for Bavarian Swabia .
Bavaria ( /bəˈvɛəriə/ ; German and Bavarian : Bayern [ ˈbaɪɐn ] ) , officially the Free State of Bavaria ( German and Bavarian : Freistaat Bayern [ ˈfʁaɪʃtaːt ˈbaɪɐn ] ) , is a landlocked federal state of Germany , occupying its southeastern corner . With an area of 70,550.19 square kilometres ( 27,200 sq mi ) , Bavaria is the largest German state by land area comprising roughly a fifth of the total land area of Germany . With 13 million inhabitants , it is Germany 's second-most-populous state after North Rhine-Westphalia . Bavaria 's main cities are Munich ( its capital and largest city and also the third largest city in Germany ) , Nuremberg and Augsburg . The history of Bavaria includes its earliest settlement by Iron Age Celtic tribes , followed by the conquests of the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC , when the territory was incorporated into the provinces of Raetia and Noricum . It became a stem duchy in the 6th century AD following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire . It was later incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire , became an independent kingdom , joined the Prussian-led German Empire in 1871 while retaining its title of kingdom , and finally became a state of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949 . The Duchy of Bavaria dates back to the year 555 . In the 17th century AD , the Duke of Bavaria became a Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire . The Kingdom of Bavaria existed from 1806 to 1918 , when Bavaria became a republic . In 1946 , the Free State of Bavaria reorganized itself on democratic lines after the Second World War . Bavaria has a unique culture , largely because of the state 's former Catholic majority and conservative traditions .
Altenhof is a municipality in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district , in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern , Germany . Schloss Altenhof , on the other hand , is in Austria , and is the seat of Norbert Graf von Salburg , Freiherr von Falkenstein .
Styrum ( German pronunciation : [ ˈʃtiːʁʊm ] ; sometimes spelled Stirum ) was an immediate lordship in the Holy Roman Empire , located in Mülheim an der Ruhr , North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . It held no seat in the Diet and was circumvened by the lordship of Broich . The exact date of construction of its castle is unknown . Styrum was already prosperous in Frankish times before Charlemagne ( late 8th century ) . In 1067 Styrum was given to the Abbacy of Kaiserswerth . After the murder of the Archbishop of Cologne , Engelbert of Berg , in 1225 , the descendants of Frederick I of Isenberg gained ownership of Mülheim an der Ruhr and thereby of the castle as Lords of Styrum and took up residence . Here they founded the line of Counts of Limburg Styrum , a family that would later obtain important estates in Westphalia and the Lower Rhine . With the partition of the House of Limburg Styrum in 1644 , Styrum passed to the line of Limburg-Styrum-Styrum .
Limburg-Hohenlimburg was a county in Germany in the Middle Ages . It was created as a partition of Limburg-Isenberg in 1246 , and was annexed to Limburg-Styrum in 1304 . In the 15th century , the house Limburg-Styrum was divided into Limburg-Broich , controlling Limburg-Hohenlimburg , and Limburg-Styrum who kept the lordship Styrum . Limburg-Hohenlimburg passed to the Daun-Falkenstein in 1511 , then Neuenahr-Alpen in 1542 . Limburg-Hohnlimburg became a possession of the counts of Bentheim at the end of the 16th century , who kept it until it was mediatized to the Grand Duchy of Berg in 1808 . The count of Bentheim still owns the fortress of Hohenlimburg .
The house of Limburg Stirum ( or Limburg-Styrum ) , which adopted its name in the 12th century from the sovereign county of Limburg an der Lenne in what is now Germany , is one of the oldest families in Europe . It is the eldest and only surviving branch of the House of Berg , which was among the most powerful dynasties in the region of the lower Rhine during the Middle Ages . Some historians link them to an even older dynasty , the Ezzonen , going back to the 9th century . The Limburg-Stirum were sovereign counts within the Holy Roman Empire , until they were mediatised in 1806 by the Confederation of the Rhine . Although undisputedly a mediatised comital family , having enjoyed a dynastic status for over 600 years until the collapse of the Empire , they were omitted from the Almanach de Gotha because the branches of the family possessing mediatised lands were extinct by the time ( 1815 ) that the Congress of Vienna established the German Confederation 's obligation to recognise their dynastic status . Since the 9th century , the family counted five Counts Palatine of Lotharingia , several Dukes of Westphalia , Bavaria , Carinthia and Swabia , seven Archbishops of Cologne , one Prince-Bishop of Speyer , more than ten bishops in the Holy Roman Empire , and at least two saints of the Catholic Church ( Saint Richenza , celebrated on 21 March , and Saint Engelbert of Cologne , celebrated on 7 November ) . The territorial authority of the family , counts of Berg since 1077 , counts of Altena and Isenberg , then counts of Limburg since 1246 , was significantly reduced following the opposition of Frederick II , Count of Isenberg to the aggression of his cousin , the Archbishop of Cologne , Engelbert II of Berg , leading to the murder of the latter . A cadet branch , the Counts van den Marck , later rose in importance as dukes of Cleves , Jülich and Berg , dukes of Nevers and Bouillon , counts of Schleiden , etc . Today 's members are mostly found in Belgium and The Netherlands .
Isenburg was a region of Germany located in southern present-day Hesse , located in territories north and south of Frankfurt . The states of Isenburg emerged from the Niederlahngau ( located in the Rhineland-Palatinate ) , which partitioned in 1137 into Isenburg-Isenburg and Isenburg-Limburg-Covern . These countships were partitioned between themselves many times over the next 700 years .
The Lahngau was a medieval territory comprising the middle and lower Lahn River valley in the current German states of Hesse and ( partially ) Rhineland-Palatinate . The traditional names of the Gau are Loganahe Pagus or Pagus Logenensis . The Lahngau was the East Frankish ancestral homeland of the Conradines . It was divided in ca . 900 into the Upper and Lower Lahngau ( translated from the German Oberlahngau and Niederlahngau [ or Unterlahngau ] , respectively ) .

Kempenich is a municipality in the district of Ahrweiler , in Rhineland-Palatinate , Germany .
Isenburg-Kempenich was the name of a state of the Holy Roman Empire , based around Kempenich in modern Rhineland-Palatinate , Germany . Isenburg-Kempenich emerged around the Lordship of Kempenich , which was first mentioned in 1093 as being ruled by Richwin of Wied . In 1143 another Richwin is mentioned , although it is unclear if it is the son of the former Richwin or if it was the former Richwin . Either way , his son Sigfried is considered the founder of the state of Isenburg-Kempenich in 1142 . In 1152 Siegfried had his daughters entered into a monastery . Through marriage , Isenburg-Kempenich passed to Reynold of the House of Isenburg in 1153 . In 1158 the Lords Theodoric I and Florentin are mentioned in a document of the Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa . Both lords are mentioned in 1166 and 1173 , but only Florentin was mentioned in 1183 and in 1187 . Inheritance passed to the sons of Theodoric I after Florentin 's death , Salentin , Rosemann and Theodoric II . Salentin died sometime after 1213 leaving Rosemann as the most powerful of the three lords . Isenburg-Kempenich benefited greatly from their close relation to Henry II of Isenburg-Grenzau , one of the most powerful lords in the region . In 1277 , Gerard I made his lordship mediate to the Archbishopric of Trier .
Isenburg-Birstein was the name of two German historical states centred on Birstein in southeastern Hesse , Germany .

In 1816 Isenburg was partitioned between the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt and the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel . Count Ernest Casimir ( 1801-1848 ) was elevated to the rank of prince by Louis II , Grand Duke of Hesse , in 1840 . Since then , the name of the branch is spelled Ysenburg and Büdingen , to distinguish it from the princes of Isenburg from the Isenburg-Birstein branch .
Isenburg-Offenbach was the name of a state of the Holy Roman Empire , based around Offenbach and Neu Isenburg ( built by the counts in 1699 ) in modern Hesse , Germany .

The Grand Duchy of Hesse and by Rhine ( German : Großherzogtum Hessen und bei Rhein ) was a grand duchy in western Germany that existed from 1806 ( the period of German mediatization ) to the end of the German Empire in 1918 . The grand duchy originally formed on the basis of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt in 1806 as the Grand Duchy of Hesse ( German : Großherzogtum Hessen ) . After the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 , it changed its name in 1816 to distinguish itself from the Electorate of Hesse , which had formed from neighboring Hesse-Kassel . Colloquially , the grand duchy continued to be known by its former name of Hesse-Darmstadt . It joined the German Empire in 1871 and became a republic after German defeat in World War I in 1918 .
Isenburg-Braunsberg was the name of a state of the Holy Roman Empire , based around Braunsberg in modern Rhineland-Palatinate , Germany . It was created as a partition of Isenburg-Isenburg in 1199 ( 1210 ) . In 1338 Isenburg-Braunsberg became an Imperial County .

The Roman Catholic diocese of Trier , in English traditionally known by its French name of Treves , is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic church in Germany . When it was the archbishopric and Electorate of Trier , it was one of the most important states of the Holy Roman Empire , both as an ecclesiastical principality and as a diocese of the church . Unlike the other Rhenish dioceses - Mainz and Cologne , Trier was the former Roman provincial capital of Augusta Treverorum . Given its status , Trier has always been the seat of a bishop since Roman times , one of the oldest dioceses in all of Germany . The diocese was elevated to an Archdiocese in the time of Charlemagne and was the metropolitan for the dioceses of Metz , Toul , and Verdun . After the victory of Napoleon Bonaparte of France , the archdiocese was lowered to a diocese and is now a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Cologne . The diocesan cathedral is the Cathedral of Saint Peter .
The Archdiocese of Cologne ( Latin : Archidioecesis Coloniensis ; German : Erzbistum Köln ) is an archdiocese of the Catholic Church in western North Rhine-Westphalia and northern Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany .
The monastery of Fulda ( German Kloster Fulda , Latin Abbatia Fuldensis ) , from 1221 the Princely Abbey of Fulda ( Fürstabtei Fulda ) and from 1752 the Prince-Bishopric of Fulda ( Fürstbistum Fulda ) , was a Benedictine abbey and ecclesiastical principality centered on Fulda , in the present-day German state of Hesse . The monastery was founded in 744 by Saint Sturm , a disciple of Saint Boniface . After Boniface was buried at Fulda , it became a prominent center of learning and culture in Germany , and a site of religious significance and pilgrimage through the 8th and 9th centuries . The Annals of Fulda , one of the most important sources for the history of the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century , were written there . In 1221 the abbey was granted an imperial estate to rule and the abbots were thereafter princes of the Holy Roman Empire . The growth in population around Fulda would result in its elevation to a prince-bishopric in the second half of the 18th century . Although the abbey was dissolved in 1802 and its principality was secularized in 1803 , the diocese of Fulda continues to exist .
