With the end of the Western Roman Empire in 476 B.C., the Germans brought their influence to the alpine territory.
By the time they disappeared from the area in 553 B.C. , it was the time of the Longobardi, which moved into Low Atesina.
The Baiuvari, along with the slaves, crossed over the Brennero and along the Pusteria Valley to the doors of Lienz, then trying to occupy the territory of Bolzano.
However, the Longobardi and their duchy of Trento stopped them.
An ethnic minority of the dominion of Rome, the Ladini, still survives today in the Gardena Valley and around the territories of Badia Valley, Fassa Valley, Fiemme and Ampezzo Valleys. Their language falls in between Italian and German.
By the beginning of the eighth century the hollow of Merano had become Bavarian.
In 774 B.C., Carl the Great won over the Longobards and unified the entire territory under the Franks.
In 952 B.C., King Ottone I extended the Regime Teutonicum (the German dominion) to the city of Treviso.
He separated the county of Trento from the territory of Verona and annexed Trento to the Bavarian duchy.
Under King Conrad II (1024 1033), the counties of Bolzano and Venosta Valley were ceded to the bishop of Trento, while the counties of Inn, Isarco Valleys, and later those of the Pusteria Valley, were given to the bishop of Bressanone.
In this way, the bishops became the German sovereign princes until the secularization of 1803.
