Augsburg used to be a Mixed Imperial City (Paritätische Reichsstadt) with an equally mixed Catholic–Protestant city council.

The onion shaped tower of the late-gothic Catholic church, which was finalized in 1594, became a model of lots of Baroque onion shaped church towers in Bavaria.

The little onion shaped tower of the Protestant church was built in the years 1709 and 1710.
