Talk:Reichsfreiheit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Wouldn't say so

De facto Reichsfreiheit corresponded to a semi-independence with a far-reaching autonomy.

This would be true in the End of the middle ages when the Kaiser was weak and thus a reichsfreie city hadn't to obey to anybody.

But formerly ther was no semi-indpendence. The reichsunmittelbaren cities hat to do what the emperor said and they did it becaus the status of Reichsfreiheit otherwise could have been taken by the emperor. Roughly speaking. Foreigner 14:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
