. ... IT STARTS RIGHT BOOK BY RICH LAW ..
.. so the headline was about the oldest law book in the German language ..., the Mühlhäuser imperial law book ... Posted
it was the beginning of the 13th ... Century, perhaps even before 1220 ... and was probably even older than the known level of Eike von Sachsen Repgow ..
Narrated in two copies in the archives of the imperial cities of Mulhouse and in Nordhausen, heard the Mühlhäuser an imperial law to the major German works of the law of the Middle Ages.
had 1923 Professor Herbert Meyer made the translation from the altmitteldeutschen language and published.
Later, there were still a number of assumptions about the author, which were never fully clarified.
was probably it is not a simple, albeit learned clerk, but probably still in an upright standing residing in Mühlhausen royal ministerial, which here probably spoke on behalf of the king's law.
The Mühlhäuser imperial law book included both the Stafrecht, as well as the economic, inheritance and family matters, and the industrial and civil law, was So the time for all areas of life in the city of the king. Later, in the free imperial city, the right book should have served as a legal basis and was also Nordhausen and Eschwege - former royal cities - even in the 14th Century is of particular importance.
The law in the city of the king, so here is a significant Palatinate had been spoken by the royal prefect or mayor, often a high-ranking nobleman, who was in the service of the king. He oversaw the other royal ministerial officials, who in the city and Reichsgutbezirk their feud, which later formed as a hereditary property, the basis of gender.
With the right book should be a basis for equal rights established in the city. Therefore it is said here also
".. because we all are called neighbors, here in this city ..."
The first chapter deals then also with the most serious crimes ..., with murder and manslaughter: "Is it that a man kills another, here in this soft image to Mulhouse. .... he has forfeited his neck "
Now, the law appears to have been regarded not always reported for the Chronicle later: "In 1338 the slew of other Muhlhausenwie Stetter Deutzschlandt all their Jews"
It was not so far away .., with equal justice for all ...
also for assaults with injuries, there were stipulations: "wounded a man so constituted the other wound that will endure over night ..... so we should strike off her right hand"
the wounded died, and denied the defendant the offense was able to prevail a plaintiff in a fight .. the right, a kind of ordeal .., that was actually banned at that time already ..
The right one's home was then already regulated, a right that already existed among the Germans as a stove right:
"After this is written, that every man is here to Mulhouse in the kingdom have peace in his home town ... if anyone as the haunts be it day or night, with unjust violence .... it's him on his neck ... " was
Even with theft at that time the ordeal applied: "but says the thief that you do him wrong ... you should take a hot iron ... that he should take three steps .. . he burned himself, so he should hang ... "
(.. that is where the false statement before the judge until the higher Punishment brought ... because otherwise lay depending on the severity of the crime to refuse the penalty between the hand up to the slopes ..)
Although the woman at that time did not have the same right as men, there were rape - that is rape - even heavy penalties : "If a man at a Weibsperson without their consent and against their will ... it is to fight back with a shout ... and the man is taken in the act ... so it goes to his throat. .. "
oderMitwohner for witnesses who "verliegen" the plight of women - that pretend they have not heard - "... which should be poured the surging lead in their ears ..." .. a Action that led to probably not only hearing .. Also, one should "break down ... the croft where it happened ... and it should never be cultivated on .."
Here is a probable link with the legend of the destruction of the imperial castle. So here is the Knight of Hagen, the daughter of a goldsmith Mühlhäuser have the castle was kidnapped and raped ... and then stormed the citizens of the castle and destroyed it on the ground ... nimmemehr and should be built at the castle site ... Had
1256 article of the law book as a justification for the destruction used the castle ... or the forecast was good but then later ...?? But it is surely more likely that a legal vacuum in the Kaiser-free time - the interregnum - to have been that led to the Verselbstädigung ministerial officials and citizens.
course could not be missing in the law book for the inclusion as citizens of the city. Thus we read in Chapter 38
".. As a citizen should be, is hereinafter described .." Here
was determined that a Zugezogner had to decide after four weeks whether he wants to be a guest or citizens.
When he lived a year and a day in the city without him as someone property claimed ".. one should think he is a free citizen .."
Then, after the new citizens to the judge, the Council and the city, and the Empire Hofmann and Kirchner had paid the spell of pennies, he had to swear before the Council
".. the kingdom of the grace and faithfulness to the citizens and truth, to keep this city the best of his ability, alone with his mind and his thoughts to anyone, except before the kingdom that God so help him and the Saints ... "
addition to the high court of the mayor, there was the home court guarantor of citizens, dealing with Corridor disputes box theft, etc. beschäftigte.So it says in Chapter 34: "is written .. Accordingly, we put people to Mulhouse, all years .... a home sponsor and the court meeting will be hold by right at St. Kilian's Linde .. and then, all who come to ask for something and have to complain ... "
The old linden court may well already have had a special significance for the market town of Saint Kiliani have been, this had been done prior to the Old Town.
... By the way, were here only a few fragments from the 49 chapters of the book Mühlhäuser imperial law be shown ... but it's interesting, as they did in our old city law has spoken ...
