Miles right

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The mileage right is a privilege of a city, which states that no one is allowed to operate a certain trade, restaurant or handicraft within a radius of one or more miles of the city without the approval of the city ( ban mile ). In most cases, the mile right referred to the Brewers and Malzergewerbe . Except in the city itself, no Kretschmer (innkeeper) was allowed to settle down in the specified area , let alone "malted or brewed". The privilege was often a bone of contention between the city and the surrounding area.

The medieval mile of the mile right usually varied between seven and eleven kilometers, depending on the measurement method. The distance was measured along the path or the road between the locations.
