Soest city law

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Soest city charter is the first demonstrably recorded in the German area town charter .

It has been handed down in the form of the old and new cowhide as well as the old scarf . Presumably, the Soest city ​​law goes back to models from Lombardy that were mediated via Cologne . It was adopted by many cities in the area, e.g. B. from Korbach . Overall, the Soest city law was a model for 65 cities in northern Germany.

More important, however, was the long-range effect of Soest city law: the takeover by Lübeck , which was co-founded by Soest merchants , meant that Soest city law, in a modified form, was widely broadcast as Lübisches law in the Baltic Sea region. Another, albeit smaller, family of city rights developed from the granting of Soest rights to Lippstadt in the 13th century as Lippian city rights .
