Why visit

For many centuries Biberach was an Imperial Free City of the Holy Roman Empire, and after the Peace of Westphalia it became one of the very few «Mixed Imperial Cities», with a joint Catholic and Protestant government.

Origins and history

Biberach was for many centuries an Imperial Free City in the Holy Roman Empire, and in that role it took part in the 1792 Reichstag. During the Reformation it became — eventually along only with Ravensburg, Augsburg and Dinkelsbühl — a «Mixed Imperial City»: the Peace of Westphalia established a joint Catholic–Protestant government and administrative system, with equality offices.
