Around 700, he founded two monasteries here that have survived to this day - the male Benedictine abbey of St. Peter and the female monastery of Nonnberg. Salzburg got its current name at the end of the 7th century thanks to the numerous salt deposits in the area (Salz - salt in German). For many centuries Salzburg was the seat of archbishops and remained a sovereign principality. And only with the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars did the principality cease to exist, and in 1816 it was finally assigned to Austria.
