Dominium
In the Middle Ages, a complex of several dominions and goods that formed the assets of a dominion was referred to as a dominium (Latin for rule , property ) . The administration of the assets was usually carried out centrally by an official who was usually referred to as the regent in the sources .
According to the general Prussian land law , several forms of property existed: in addition to full property ( dominium plenum ), upper property (dominium directum) and sub-property or usable property ( dominium utile ).
