The Treaty of Munich (German Vertrag von München) of 14 April 1816 normalized relations between the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria through several territorial exchanges. It was negotiated and signed at Munich, the capital of Bavaria, by the Baron de Wacquant-Geozelles on behalf of Emperor Francis I and by Counts Maximilian von Montgelas and Aloys von Rechberg on behalf of King Maximilian I.
Bavaria ceded to Austria:
- the parts of the Upper Austrian quarters of Hausruckviertel and Innviertel, that had to be ceded by Bavaria to Austria in the Treaty of Teschen of 1779 and were in turn ceded back to Bavaria in the Treaty of Schönbrunn of 1809
- the bailiwick (Amt) of Vils in the County of Tyrol
- the duchy of Salzburg
Austria ceded to Bavaria:
- on the Left Bank of the Rhine:
- the former French arrondissements of Kaiserslautern, Speyer and Zweibrücken, except the cantons of Worms and Pfeddersheim, in the former département of Mont-Tonnerre
- the cantons of Bergzabern, Landau and Langenkandel in the département of Bas-Rhin, as wall as that part of the département on the left bank of the Lauter, ceded to Austria by France by the Treaty of Paris on 20 November 1815
- on the Right Bank of the Rhine:
- the bailiwick of Hammelburg, the greater part of that of Weyhers and a smaller part of that of Bieberstein
