History

Since the 6th century the area now Flachgau belonged to the Duchy of Bavaria Salzburggau. With the recognition of the Salzburg western border by the Bavarian Duke in 1275 the detachment of Bavaria Salzburg entered its final phase. As the Archbishop Frederick III. Leibnitz had in 1328 adopted its own national policy, the archbishopric of Salzburg had become a largely autonomous state within the Holy Roman Empire.

By the year 1803 the rule of the prince archbishops took in the flat land that was known as the Land of mountains or Außergebirg, the latter in demarcation to Innergebirg ( Gebirgsgaue Pongau, Pinzgau and Lungau). 1803, the Archbishopric was secularized, and created an Electorate of Salzburg under Habsburg reign, while also addressing the Flachgau after a millennium worldly possessions was. Already in 1805 it came to the Empire of Austria, albeit initially under French occupation, and 1806, with the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, the Elector office was untenable, and transformed the country into a duchy.
