Friedberger Police Regulations
The Friedberger Police Ordinance was a particular law in force until 1900 in the areas that belonged to the former territory of the Burggrafschaft Friedberg .
history
The events of the Thirty Years' War prompted the burgraviate to re-establish its rule in the area of public order . The then burgrave of Friedberg, Hans Eitel Diede zum Fürstenstein , used older ordinances, compiled them and initiated a consultation process in which the pastors and the Greben (community leaders ) were involved and asked to submit their comments on the material collected . He had this edited editorially and submitted it to the regimental convent , the "government" of the burgraviate. This passed the Friedberg Police Regulations on December 3, 1679.
As early as 1698 - and again in 1703 and 1723 - the “Regiments-Convent” complained that there were hardly any printed copies of the Friedberg Police Regulations. But it was not until 1729 that the second (and last) edition appeared.
This special right retained its validity in the 19th century even when the former burgraviate belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . The particular law was replaced on January 1, 1900 by the civil code that was uniformly valid throughout the German Empire .
