The Treaty of Luneville was a peace treaty between France and the Holy Roman Empire, represented by Austria, that ended the War of the Second Coalition on the European continent. It was signed after Napoleon's victory at Marengo in Italy and the French victory at Hohenlinden in Germany forced Austria to seek peace. The treaty confirmed the earlier Treaty of Campo Formio, and gave France the left bank of the Rhine. It also recognised French sister republics in Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and compensation for the dispossessed German princes would be provided from church lands. This led to a reorganisation of Germany in 1803 which was a step to the end of the Holy Roman Empire.
