According to a remark by a well-known person to me, the
town of Salzburg has belonged to Bavaria for a long time and
the Mozart family are Bavarian, father Leopold Mozart came
from Augsburg, clear Bavaria, NO Austrians.
This is a big surprise! Mozart family falls COMPLETELY TO
BAVARIA and by this TO GERMANY! And Salzburg was even so
racist-Catholic that Protestants were expelled (!). Quote
from Mossad Wikipedia (German version -
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salzburg):
Translation:
<Since the Battle of Mühldorf (
link
(German)) in 1322, the Archdiocese has been
hostile to the mother country Bavaria. As a result, Salzburg
became an independent prince-archdiocese in the Roman-German
Empire. The economic boom of the city in the 15th century
led to a self-confident bourgeoisie with increasing rights
and duties. Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach (
link
(German)), who was economically very successful,
ended this autonomy with violence. A few years after Martin
Luther's thesis script being posted [on the church's door of
Wittenberg, it's only a rumor -
link
(German)], the majority of the city population
was close to Protestantism (
link
(German)), until 1590 the indomitable
Protestants were all expelled from the country. Unter
Keutschach, criticism of the archbishop's authoritarian
power continued to increase. In 1525, rebellious pages and
peasants besieged the Hohensalzburg fortress, in which
Archbishop Matthäus Lang of Wellenburg (
link
(German)) had hidden himself. Only with the help
of troops bought by the Swabian Federation could the
insurgents be forced to withdraw. Around 1600, the
prince-archdiocese was one of the richest principalities in
the Roman-German Empire thanks to salt and gold mining. At
that time, Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau (
link
(German)) redesigned the old town center.
[7] The large late
Romanesque cathedral was destroyed and rebuilt by Markus
Sittikus (
link
(German)) in the early Baroque style.

Through a clever neutrality policy, Mr. Paris von Lodron
(link
(German)) managed to keep Salzburg out of the
Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) (link
(Engl)). The city was developed into one of
the best fortified cities in Europe. (See also post on
fortifications of the city of Salzburg (link
(German)).
Salzburg soon became a center of the Counter-Reformation,
in which [Jesus fantasy] monasteries, a [Jesus fantasy]
seminary and numerous baroque [Jesus fantasy] churches
were built, a large part of the residents were united in
lay [Jesus fantasy] fraternities. [10] In the years between 1675 and 1690
the magic boy trials took place (link
(German)) in Salzburg, as a result of which
over 150 people were executed for alleged witchcraft (link
(English)). The majority of them were children
and adolescents. [11][12]
In 1732, under Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian, the
majority of the Protestants remaining in the country were
forced to emigrate ("Salzburg exulants") (link
(German)).
Under Archbishop Hieronymus Franz Josef Colloredo von
Wallsee and Mels (link
(German)), Salzburg became a focal point of
the late Enlightenment in the years 1772 to 1800, in which
science and the arts flourished.[13]
[This is the time of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in
BAVARIAN Salzburg].
Part of Austria
In 1803, by order of Napoleon, Salzburg became a secular
electorate, in 1805, Salzburg was joint with the Austrian
Empire, as also Berchtesgaden was. In 1810 Salzburg was
joint with the Kingdom of Bavaria again.[14] In 1800, 1805 and again in 1809,
Salzburg was occupied and looted by Napoleonic troops.
In 1816 the state of Salzburg fell again to the Austrian
Empire> and remained there - only from 1816 when
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had died in 1791 since 25 years
already - as a BAVARIAN.
