Hunting sovereignty

Hunting sovereignty is the historical right to hunt in a certain area. Today we speak of the right to hunt .

history

In the days of hunters and gatherers , hunting was free. In the development of state sovereignty or sovereignty , hunting sovereignty also emerged at the same time. The introduction of the royal hunting shelf restricted the rights of the rural population more and more. In the German Peasants' War , claims were raised in Article 4 of the Twelve Articles , which u. a. were opposed to this privilege of the nobility . This form of hunting sovereignty was not ended until the French Revolution and the Revolution of 1848 in Germany .

Right to hunt

With the bourgeois revolutions and the loss of aristocratic privileges, the right to hunt largely passed into the right of the landowner. Depending on the hunting laws of different countries, hunting is carried out on the basis of ownership of the land. In Germany there is the territorial hunting system , in Switzerland the patent hunting system or licensed hunting .
