Ius indigenatus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ius indigenatus is a legal term that describes civil rights in Prussia. It was originally written in German and applied to the Prussian region. The eastern Dukes of Prussia remained closely connected with the western Prussia royal share due to the common citizenship , from 1466 to 1773 in personal union with the King of Poland as patron with the title Magnus Dux Prussiae .

The right of the locals , which the Prussian Federation had guaranteed as one of the royal privileges when it joined in 1454 , was confirmed by each new king before it was accepted. It restricted Polish interference and regulated self-government . In particular, offices and property were reserved for long-established Prussians.

According to Karin Friedrich The Other Prussia (pp. 36-39), the Prussian Indigenous was the source of all Prussian freedom and even after 1569, when Poland wanted to introduce Polish Indigenous to Prussia , this was rejected as the worst injustice in Prussia. In 1696 the ius indigenatus was still a central point in western Prussia.
