I am looking for a complete list of German states - i.e. lordships, countships, duchies, imperial cities (Reichsstadt) etc - and their dominant religion (catholic, protestant) for the two years a) 1555 (Peace of Augsburg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Augsburg) b) 1648 (Peace of Westphalia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Westphalia) |

I stand corrected - faulty memory and a UK keyboard :-} Funny how Prussia was Protestant, yet its Eastern domains were Catholic |

If Scriptor-ga looked at this question and couldn't answer it or didn't suggest that he could for a better price, I fear that is is very difficult. |

Probably it touches a nerve. From my little knowledge the place was a patchwork of religions. |

I fear that indeed the question is more difficult than I thought. I am happy to increase the price if that helps... |

It is indeed a complicated matter. I assume that you have some background knowledge of subject and maybe read some German, and have looked at the full text of the Peace of Augsburg (can be clicked on at the bottom of the Wikipedia site). At the end of the intriguing treaty, you will see all the people who signed it. Perhaps they are sorted by Protestants and Roman Catholics, but I couldn't tell (not that there is any reason that I could). Frde-ga is right, Germany was a great patchwork of principalities as the high resolution map for 1648 that you can click on at the bottom of the other Wikipedia link shows. I lost the link to a map that showed the religious affiliations of the parts of Westfalia in 1806(?) which would have demonstrated the problem of listing Protestants and Catholics for all of Germany in 1648, when the map was more complicated. This link lets you see how Germany was (dis)organized in 1789: http://www.hoeckmann.de/geschichte/nrwhist.htm This is no help, just a little explanation of the problem. |
