The leader of the Germans from Salzburg was Leopold von Firmian, the Archbishop of Salzburg. He played a significant role in the 1730s by expelling thousands of Protestant Salzburgers, primarily Lutherans, due to religious persecution. This expulsion led to the migration of many Salzburg Protestants to various regions, including America, where they established communities. Firmian's actions were a reflection of the broader religious tensions of the time.
