!!!Regensburg

Regensburg, town and diocese in Bavaria, centre of the Bavarian duchy 
from the 6%%sup th/%  century on; played an important role in the 
formation and development of Austria. In July 976, the Babenberg 
Leopold I was appointed Margrave in Regensburg; in 979 Regensburg 
was given Wieselburg, where Bishop Wolfgang had a fortress built. 
Until 1803 the diocese held large estates in Lower Austria (Poechlarn, 
Ulmerfeld) ( Reichsdeputationshauptschluss). Regensburg was the 
location of the Permanent Imperial Diet, which was one of the reasons 
for the close contacts of the emperor and the Austrian princes with 
this town.
