In the imperial territories , the rulers had the right to lodge. Especially on the main traffic roads , many were tenants obliged. For the Mark Brandenburg , Lieselott Enders worked out: The initially sovereign deposit was increasingly passed on to other landlords by means of enfeoffment and illegal appropriation .

In principle, the just committed all, but the nobility were largely able to free themselves from it.

Within the Roman Catholic Church , higher clerics enjoyed free lodging by lower clergymen. To his relief, Pope Lucius III forbade . 1184 the church patrons , advocates and bailiffs exercising the right to lodge . Rulers who had given fiefs to the church were excluded.
