Zweier - Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau

Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau became Archbishop of Salzburg in 1587 at just 28 years old, backed by his family's connections to the Roman Curia — his great-uncle had been Pope Pius IV. His reign was architecturally transformative; he demolished much of medieval Salzburg to rebuild it in Italian Baroque style, a project driven as much by personal ambition as by genuine Counter-Reformation zeal. The small silver Zweier circulating under his authority funded a city being physically reinvented around its issuer's ego.

Wolf Dietrich's rule ended badly — imprisoned in 1612 by his own chapter after a war with Bavaria, he died in captivity in 1617.
