Electorate of Magdeburg

The Electorate of Magdeburg (German: Kurfürstentum Magdeburg), also known as the Archsbishopric of Magdeburg, is an ecclesiastical principality of the Holy Roman Empire, whose ruler also holds an electoral title in the imperial college. Magdeburg's electoral status was awarded in 1265 by the future King of the Romans Otto VII, King of the Romans, at the expense of the Archbishopric of Mainz, whose electorate was extinguished at the occasion.
