Als großer Theaterfreund förderte er auch den kleinen Mozart, dem er seine erste Reise nach Italien ermöglichte und überhaupt den Grundstein zu dessen Karriere legte. Am 16. Dezember 1771 starb der Erzbischof an einer Nierenblutung.'' (Sigismund von Schrattenbach, born in 1698, came from the Styrian branch of his family. He, the previous cathedral dean, who was by no means the most capable, even if he brought the best of intentions with him, won the election on the 13th day of the balloting. Through his intense monastic piety he aroused the displeasure of those who were already inclined towards the awakening Enlightenment. He prayed the rosary with his court for hours. In Salzburg he founded a penitentiary and workhouse as well as two orphanages. He also promoted mining, which experienced a faint resurgence under him. However, Sigismund could not resolve the serious financial crisis in which his state found itself. The budget was additionally burdened by a contribution of 18,000 guilders to the Austrian costs of the Seven Years' War and by a lump-sum compensation of 30,000 guilders for emigrant assets, on which Prussia insisted. He enriched the cityscape with two unique works: the Sigismundtor (Neutor), a bold technical feat because it pierced the Mönchsberg, and the statue of the Virgin Mary on the Domplatz. As a great lover of the theatre, he also encouraged the young Mozart, for whom he made his first trip to Italy possible and laid the foundation for his career. On December 16, 1771, the Archbishop died of a kidney hemorrhage.)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt; The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. This type was struck 1762-64 in several minor varieties. It is somewhat common. In the seventeenth century, Salzburg was blessed with a number of productive silver mines and the prince-archbishop was a prolific issuer of coins, particularly thalers. The archbishopric was secularized in 1803 and passed to [[Austria]] in 1813.&lt;br /&gt;
