Kempten coins catalog with values
Kempten is a city in the Allgäu region
(Bavaria).
The settlement arose next to the ecclesiastical diocese of
Kempten, which owned numerous estates.
The diocese continued to exert great influence on Kempten even
when he received the privileges of a free imperial city. Its
citizens had to pay a tax to the princely abbey of Kempten.
In 1525, a peasant uprising broke out and was joined by the
serfs of Kempten Abbey. The rebels plundered the monastery, the
prince-abbot fled to the imperial city of Kempten. In exchange
for protection and refuge, the mayor of Kempten bought his
rights to the city from the abbot and Kempten became finally
independent.
During the Reformation, the abbey remained Catholic, and the
city became Lutheran. The rivalry between the two rival sections
of Kempten intensified over the years and culminated in the 30
Years' War (1618–1648) when it came to military conflict. Both
sides suffered huge losses, the abbot's residence was completely
destroyed.
In 1802, as a result of mediatization, the city and the abbey
were annexed to the Bavarian Electorate, which became a kingdom
in 1806.
In 1818 the town and abbey were officially united to form the
town of Kempten.
