History

  The archdiocese of Trier in 1500
Map of the territory of the archdiocese of Trier in 1651

The bishops of Trier were already virtually independent territorial magnates in

Wiomad complete immunity from the jurisdiction of the ruling count
for all the churches and monasteries, as well as villages and castles that belonged to the Church of St. Peter at Trier. In his will he also elevated the diocese to the Archdiocese of Trier, with suffragans on both sides of the Rhine. This arrangement lasted over a thousand years.

In Early Modern times, the archdiocese of Trier still encompassed territory along the

Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles, technically from 1242 and permanently from 1263, and nominally until 1803. Arles along with Germany and Italy
was one of the three component kingdoms of the Empire.
