The Peace of Augsburg said that the people in each individual Kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire (Germany did not exist as a state at this point) were to follow the religion of their ruler: Lutheran or Catholic. The Peace of Augsburg held until the Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War and gave that right to Calvinists as well.
