While the prince-bishopric’s territory is comparatively small, it was very fragmented and its lands were dispersed over a wide area, from central Bavaria and Tyrol in the west to Austria, Styria and Carniola in the east.

15,000 subjects of the Prince-Bishop lived in the following areas:

• Immediate lordships:
  • the City of Freising on the Isar river, located north of Munich, with a population of approximately 4,000
  • the adjacent County of Ismaning a narrow band of territory stretching along the east bank of the Isar river, from Freising in the north to the outskirts of Munich in the south
  • the exclave of Burgrain centred around Isen Abbey, east of Yserrain
  • the County of Werdenfels, located between Munich and Innsbruck, with the towns of Garmisch, Partenkirchen and Mittenwald.
• Mediate estates:
  • several small territories in Old Bavaria
  • Entersdorf, Hollenburg, Ulmerfeld, and Waidhofen in Austria
  • Wölz in Styria
  • Innichen in Tyrol
  • Bischoflack and Klingenfels in Carniola
  • County of Cadore in the Patria del Friuli.
