The Peace of Augsburg (1555) and the Peace of Westphalia (1648) both aimed to address religious conflicts in Germany, fostering a degree of cooperation among the various states. The Augsburg treaty allowed for the coexistence of Catholicism and Lutheranism, establishing the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio," which recognized the rights of rulers to determine their territory's faith. The Westphalia treaties further expanded this framework by recognizing Calvinism and promoting broader religious tolerance among the German states. Together, these agreements laid the groundwork for a more stable political environment, reducing religious warfare and enhancing cooperation among the diverse principalities of Germany.

You are speaking of the Peace of Westphalia, and the Peace of Augsburg. These two treaties stipulated that everyone in a particular principality had to be the same religion as the ruler. The Peace of Augsburg was a treaty between Charles V and the Schmalkaldic League (a group of Lutheran princes) on 25 September 1555 in Augsburg, Germany. It was the official end of the wars between protestants and Catholics and established the "Cuius regio, eius religio, which allowed each prince in the Holy Roman empire to choose his religion which would be for the entire state that they controlled. A period of time was allowed for non-conformists to emigrate to where their preferred religion was practiced. The Peace of Westphalia extended this further to the Calvinist religion.
