Although most of its neighbors coalesced into relatively centralized states before the 19th century, Germany did not follow that path.

Early secularisations
Having to face the territorial expansionism of the increasingly powerful secular princes, the position of the prince-bishops became more precarious with time. In the course of the Reformation, several of the bishoprics in the north and northeast were secularized, mostly to the benefit of Protestant princes. In the later sixteenth century the Counter-Reformation attempted to reverse some of these secularisations, and the question of the fates of secularized territories became an important one...
Eighteenth century secularisation plans
While no actual secularisation took place during the century and a half that followed the Peace of Westphalia, there was a long history of rumors and half-baked plans on possible secularisations.

Thus, secret proposals by Prussia t...

In reality, neither the Final Recess nor the I...
