After the Protestant Reformation resulting in the secularization of the Archbishoprics of Bremen and Magdeburg , the Archbishop of Salzburg and the Archbishop of Besançon (whose territorial holdings were minuscule) were the only remaining Archbishops of the Holy Roman Empire who were not also Electors . The most famous Archbishop was probably the last with princely authority, Hieronymus Von Colloredo , who was an early patron of Salzburg native Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . In 1803, the Archbishopric was secularized and made an Electorate for the former Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany (brother of Emperor Francis II ), who had lost his throne. The territory was annexed to Austria in 1806, then to Bavaria in 1809, and finally returned to Austria at the Congress Of Vienna in 1815 . The Archbishop of Salzburg also bears the title "Primas Germaniae" (which means "First {Link without Title} of the Germans"). The powers of this title - which are in no way jurisdictional - are limited to being the pope's first correspondent in the German-speaking world. He also has the title of "legatus natus" (or permanent legate) to the pope, which allows him the privilege of wearing the scarlet vesture of a cardinal, even in Rome, although he is not a cardinal.
