There's already a disambiguation link to Swabia, so another in the next sentence is redundant.
I changed the original wording from "Augsburg style" to "the Augsburg taste" because that was the only phrasing I could find. I also changed "throughout Germany" to "throughout Europe" due to another source I found on Medium. Alongside the scholarly reference I cited, two other references for this are: https://medium.com/art-connoisseur/beyond-the-gilding-the-untold-story-of-rococos-rise-and-fall-78cbb7b7e576 AND https://kunstsammlungen-museen.augsburg.de/en/augsburgtaste
