Pfeiferrecht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The piper right is a medieval right based on the feudal system . It placed the “ traveling people ” under the protection of the respective sovereign or feudal lord. In 1431 the lords of Rappoltstein in Alsace were given the right to piper as an imperial fief.

Medieval piper

An imperial fief since 1355

The lack of rights of the minstrels

In the early Middle Ages reading was the privilege of scholars and clergymen. It was up to the musicians to announce the latest and most important things in song and word to the population. What the Knights the minstrel , the townspeople, the Meistersinger , the rural population was the wandering musician .

The returning crusaders were joined by hordes of singers, minstrels, buffoons, and sleuths. They wandered homeless and sang the adventures of the heroes of the Crusades . These foreign travelers, who competed with the local musicians, were not subject to any authority or rules.

So it was not surprising that intrusiveness, profanity and immorality increased. They were despised and disliked by the nobility and clergy. In old chronicles they are often called "varende lüte, Pfiffer and other erlose, onechte lüte" . In order to put a stop to their goings-on, all travelers were finally declared without rights. This was accompanied by exclusion from the church.

Emperor Karl IV. Gives patronage over the minstrels as an imperial fief

In order to put an end to these unfounded conditions that discriminated against the affected 'honorable' minstrels, Emperor Charles IV took the travelers in 1355, to whom all minstrels were called - besides the whistlers, also "drummers, violinists, zinc blowers or whatever else they played and played Drifting for fun ” - under his protection, gave them their own coat of arms and named Johann the Fiedler“ Rex omnium histrionum ”.

The German king, as patron of these brotherhoods, awarded the patronage as an imperial fief to powerful regional rulers. In 1385 the Archbishop of Mainz appointed a “King of Farender Lüte”. Around the same time, the Alsatian minstrels also seem to have formed the brotherhood. The lords of Rappoltstein became patrons .

The gentlemen of Rappoltstein: feudal lords in Alsace

In a document dated April 10, 1431, which reports on a dispute settlement between Ulrich VIII von Rappoltstein and the city of Colmar by the Count Palatine near Rhine and dukes in Bavaria, the right of the Lords of Rappoltstein to whistle is mentioned for the first time . At the hearing, Ulrich has his representative explain that "S Maßman, sin brother, and he forested the wiltfang to Hagenauwer, and the Hauenstein, the Rine and the mountains, and also had a whistle kunig from the court."

Although a complaint by the Council of the City of Strasbourg of December 4, 1430 already puts Smassmann I and the Pfeiferbruderschaft in context, it was first recorded in 1431 that the Lords of Rappoltstein were given hunting and piper rights as imperial fiefs. At the same time, the area to which both fiefs refer is delimited: from Hauenstein in the northern Swiss Jura in the south to the Hagenauer Forst in the Lower Rhine in the north and from the Rhine in the east to the Vosges ridge in the west.

Emperor Friedrich III. confirmed in 1481 at the request of Wilhelm I von Rappoltstein, “ that from us the noble from us and the empire dearest Wilhelm Herrre zu Rappoltzstein who has obviously called and asked that we should be of his own and as the leaseholder of the noble man and the dear Reich Lords of Rappolczstein, his brother, because of the fiefs and fate of the country, from the Hawenstein to the Hagenawer forest and between the Reine and the First, also the services and the upper level of the spillewt in the same district, so from vnns and the holy To lend richly, to lend, to lend gracefully smoked . "

In return, Friedrich demands that the brothers Wilhelm and Smassmann must take the feudal oath before the abbot of Murbach , "to be obedient and worthy, to serve and to act as a feud from such people ."

After the death of Friedrich in 1495, the Roman-German King and later Emperor Maximilian I confirmed, at Wilhelm's request, the permanence of the imperial fiefs of hunting and piper rights. In 1664 Johann Jacob, Count von Rappoltstein, the last male ruler, issued a decree in which it was u. a. means: “... with us the Spielleuth brotherhood approved by Roman emperors and kings ... we to handle their from unforgivable times, hero our ancestors, and now therefore we have acquired emperors. privileges and freedoms, remedies and want to create advice. "

The Piper King

Wilhelm I. von Rappoltstein wrote on September 22nd, 1456 in the name of his brother Kaspar, "who yetz nit inlenndig is" to the masters of the Schlettstädter , Strasbourg and Rosheimer brotherhoods that they met on November 17th ("vff mittwuch after sant Martins day" ) should come to Rappoltsweiler to pay homage to the feudal lord ("lehentreger") and the newly appointed Pfeiferkönig, the trumpeter Georg Baumann ("trumpter Jorge Buwman") .

The Piper King was appointed by the patrons. The term of office of his "Ambachtes des künigrichs varender lüte" lasted a year, but could be extended as often as desired. He was assisted by four masters, including the ensign, the twelve and a woman.

A separate Pfeifer jurisdiction

We first learned of the existence of a separate Pfeifer jurisdiction through a message from 1454 that the arbitration of a dispute over remuneration between an Austrian single horse from Ensisheim and the Pfeifer Veltin Startzer after hearing the “künig der pfeiffer” Georg Hock to “das pfeiffer gericht rejected " .

Example: a murder case over the strong position of Pfeifer King is a letter dated December 12, 1460 of the above-Georg Baumann said the abbot of the monastery to Munster in Colmar information by threatening, imprisonment, torture and death of a loud racket, "the me promise stat “ to present to the liege lord. The abbot protests against these accusations. Baumann presents the case of Wilhelm I, and he quotes the abbot to himself. Since the latter has not yet complied with the request after four months, Wilhelm sets April 27, 1461 as the date on which the abbot should meet.

Abbot Johannes Rudolf lets this date pass too, so William I turns to the council of the city of Colmar, to whose territory the monastery belongs. This sets the negotiation date on November 21, 1461. Both parties are heard. The costs incurred are “1 lib., 3 s., 2d.” On February 13, 1462, the Colmar council announced that Wilhelm was to present evidence of his claims within six weeks and three days.

If he is not able to do so, the abbot should swear that the Lautenschläger did not die “through nor with sinem geys” . March 31, 1462 is set as the date (see above). On March 30, 1462, the abbot swears his innocence. Until February 18, 1463, one year later, we read nothing more about the outcome of the disputes. But then Wilhelm I wrote to “mynen good friends to the master vnd dem advise zue Munster in sant Gergorien thal” and asked for an explanation from them within 14 days, since the abbot had sworn his innocence and stated that “by uch des guilt should have. ” That is the end of the record of the lute's death.

Articles of Association and Organization

The formation of brotherhoods and the assumption of patronage by the sovereigns required a code of conduct that regulated the relationship between the brotherhoods and their liege lords, the brothers among themselves and with the population. The feudal lords issued statutes.

A wording of the statutes of the Pfeiferbruderschaft is only available to us from the time of the reign of Eberhard von Rappoltstein (1585–1637). It can be assumed that its content has not changed significantly over the centuries. Because in 1494 the current Pfeiferkönig, the trumpeter Georg (Jorgen) N. asks his gentlemen Wilhelm Herr zu Rappoltstein, Hohenack and Geroldseck am Wasichen, "to write down the order in writing and to seal and seal it." Wilhelm follows this request in his and in Names of his brother Smassmann II. And his nephew Bruno II. " Always revoke vff vnnser and vnser nochkomen ."

The statutes confirmed by Eberhard reads: “After the sazungen der Pfeifen spiler, Pfeifer spilleut in Upper and Lower Alsace between Rein and Gebirg from Hauenstein to Hagenauer Vorst, we have the old order and laudable use because of the rich again renewed and confirmed as follows:

Tax regulations

In an exchange of documents from 1434 reference is made to the Herr von Rappoltstein's right to piper. Smassmann I (his brother Ulrich VIII died in the Battle of Bulgnéville in 1431 ) appointed Loder, the "trummeter" (trumpeter), as the whistle king over the "varende (n) luete in daselb kunigrich vnd zu belongs" and determined that this annually for the feast of St. Jacob from the "five fraternities of the Pfiffer vnd farenden lueten" has to collect the taxes "all that he semlich ampt has to borrow from me" . Loder points out that the masters of the brotherhood have to report to him on the proper enforcement of the tax code in Strasbourg.

In the autumn of 1434 the masters of the brotherhoods of Strasbourg and Rosheim write "to the noble Wolgebornnen gentlemen juncher S Maßman Herr zue Ropolczstein, lantuogt etc., vnserm gracious dearest hern" that they "i like to be obedient and everyone admitted what then uwern gracious cnd Also Loder, who is to be heard, " but at the same time ask for " that we keep our faithfulness as that of old ye and you. "

Performance rights outside of the Reichslehensgebiet

In 1458, Wilhelm I. von Rappoltstein and Engelhard von Blumegg , owners of the Pfeiferlehens in Breisgau, agree that the Alsatians and Breisgauers “spilleuthe and varende leuthe” enjoy reciprocal performance rights.

Our dear Mrs. von Dusenbach; the Virgin Mary as patron saint

The Piper Brotherhood chose the Holy Virgin Mary , to whom the chapel in the Dusenbach was consecrated, as the patron saint . The annual gathering of the Alsatian Piper Brothers was (and is) celebrated on September 8th, the feast of the birth of Mary , in Rappoltsweiler . The Pfeifertag was celebrated for the first time in 1390.

The pipers and the sacraments

There were restrictions on visiting churches and receiving the sacraments for all pipers and travelers. In many places they were not allowed to enter churches. They were completely excluded from receiving communion.

In 1461 Wilhelm asks his liege lord, the Bishop of Basel, that pipers, who previously belonged to the brotherhood of Weiler im Albrechtstal (near Schlettstadt) and who had been confirmed by the papal legate Julianus Cesarini at the Council of Basel , “that one ir Christian rights and holy sacrament should give and do as others cry out " , and who are now in the fiefdom of the Bishopric of Basel zu Rappoltsweiler, " to confirm the continuation with emphatic on the kilcherren, that one sy beare and provide according to Christian rights are prevented irs whistles. "

The same is true of a certificate from the Bishop of Basel from 1480, in which he gave the members of the Pfeifer Brotherhood in Altthann the above-mentioned privilege that they are allowed to communion once a year, namely at Easter (“in communione fidelium existentibus divinissimum eucharistiae sacramentum ministari posset ”) , provided that they abstain from practicing their Pfeifer “ craft ” 14 days before and after (“ ab officiorum vestrorum et scurrilium operum exercitiis absteneatis ”) . In 1508, the Bishop of Strasbourg confirmed the letter from the cardinal legate Julianus for his entire diocese. This means that all pipers in the Rappoltsteiner's territory are admitted to the sacraments.

The costume of the piper

The courtly costume was more and more imitated by the bourgeoisie. New “dress codes” are intended to prevent the tightly structured social hierarchy from being blurred. These regulations regulate the type, amount and color of the fabrics, the shape and nature of the garments, the type of headgear and shoes and even the value of the jewelry for each class.

Marginal groups of medieval society - prostitutes, executioners, beggars and minstrels, but also Jews - are clearly marginalized through certain mandatory labeling. The following dress code was issued for the Alsatian minstrels: The pipers wore a wide-cut shirt with puffed sleeves over yellow, tight-fitting trousers , and over it a red, puffy, sleeveless doublet held in place by a dull green belt. A broad-brimmed hat with a heron feather was worn as headgear. The footwear formed a kind of brown sandals, with straps running around the leg to the base of the calf. A dark-colored coat was part of the winter equipment. In their buttonhole they carried a coin made of half an ounce of silver and bearing the image of the Virgin Mary.

The Whistler Day

The evening before, the Pfeifer met in the hostel "Zur Sonne", today's "Pfifferhus". At dawn a piper, accompanied by two drummers, went through Rappoltsweiler to wake the brothers. People gathered in front of the “sun” to form a procession. The city drum beater marched at the head, followed by the Piper King, adorned with a broad-brimmed hat on which a glittering corn ring was fastened. He wore a yellow, richly embroidered knee-length skirt and white tight-fitting trousers. A splendid fur-trimmed coat fell in long folds over the skirt. In his hand he carried a sword as an insignia of his royal dignity.

Behind the king followed the mayor, master and twelve, then the ensign with the banner of the brotherhood. This was followed by the long procession of the Piper Brothers. Her costume (see there) was richly decorated with cockades and ribbons. Marching in rows of four, they did not play to a tune, but each played what he wanted: a cacophony of crashing horns, shrilling whistles, ringing lutes, booming kettledrums and drums. And behind the train the residents of Rappoltsweiler followed, singing and dancing.

The train was moving west out of the town to the point where the path to the Dusenbach Chapel branches off. Then there was silence, and with measured stride you were pulled up the mountain. Arrived in front of the chapel, the gentlemen von Rappoltstein and their entourage were expected, who had come down from the Ulrichsburg and who were greeted with clanging instruments. Following the solemn Holy Mass, people moved to Ulrichsburg, in whose knight's hall the nobles and piper brothers gathered. The Piper King stepped forward to take his oath of allegiance. He began with the words: "From Hagenau's consecrated forest, up to the Hohenstein, today the brotherhood vows sounded to the high Lord von Rappoltstein." Then flutes and whistles first set in, then guitars, shawms and lutes, followed by timpani and trumpets and the horns. The population in the courtyard broke out in loud cheers.

Herr von Rappoltstein has his pages hand him a goblet filled with wine. Individual minstrels stepped out of the crowd individually or in small groups and paid homage to their master with their own songs. At the end of the ceremonies in the early afternoon, the piper hiked downhill to Rappoltsweiler with the population lingering in the courtyard, where they ate their lunch together in the "sun". The aristocrats moved back to Ulrichsburg (later to their city palace).

The Pfeifergericht met at three in the afternoon, mostly in the presence of the Rappoltstein gentleman and his entourage. Under the chairmanship of the Pfeiferkönig, the registered and then the unannounced cases were dealt with first. If a convict felt that he had been treated unfairly, he was allowed to approach Mr. von Rappoltstein for an arbitration award.

In the evening, the dancing pleasure began on the market square (later in the castle garden), where the piper played together with the castle musicians. One of the oldest and most popular songs was “Gügük im Häfele”, the original melody of which can be traced back to the 14th century and which was part of the standard repertoire of the Pfeifertage until around 1730. Heißa, Kathreinerle is a nursery rhyme from the early 20th century which was created on its basis.

Mr. von Rappoltstein provided food and drinks. The event ended around midnight. Minstrels and the population went to sleep. The following morning the whistlers went on their way again.

The piper train

Flags flutter from the windows, And in a bold curve
Have virginal hands drawn the garland wreath.
No bay window is unadorned and unaffected:
Rappoltsweiler's wives know how to honor their guests.
And from the Pfeiferhaus and the city gate and from the high count's castle
The sound of festive fanfares, thunderous projectiles roar.
Now in the courtyard of the Pfeiferhaus the guild is standing up for the train:
The woman's roar resounds loudly, and the whistlers approach in flight.
First the standard-bearer appears with the long flagpole;
He looks grim: old women are frightened at the sight of him.
Fat musicians follow, drummers and trumpeters,
Not one of the thousands, but everyone is strong.
The king stepped behind them. "Pfeiferkönig" was his name:
Every year noble lady crowns him for the count of the castle.
It was a worthy man: the crown, riveted gold, adorns the forehead,
The highest firne shines like an early alpine sun glow.
After the king came the woman, limping, with the staff in her hands;
Then the lay judges of the court who understand the right to appeal.
Two and two in colorful costumes could now be seen approaching the piper.
Today it is said that piper people are of the most pious pious:
Each wore the fraternal mark with the image of the Immaculate,
And from their instruments they even woke old wise men.
But the bunch's most beautiful melodies play the last row:
Songs of tenderly breathed longing, songs of consecration breathed through pain.
And the most beautiful is played by the blonde who walks in their midst:
It sounds like faith quarreling with heaven itself.
Flowers fall on him more than on the others:
"You must give him the crown, he sings us the most beautiful songs!"
The crowds move into the church, and with festive pomp
Sacrifice the bang and praise chants to Our Lady.

The fall of the Alsatian brotherhood

With the Peace of Westphalia concluded in Münster and Osnabrück in October 1648 , Alsace fell under the sovereignty of the French king. The supreme jurisdiction of the Piper Brotherhood was no longer exercised by the Lords of Rappoltstein, but by the Conseil Souverain d'Alsace . Penalties in excess of ten livres had to be tried before the Royal Court of Justice in Colmar. In 1751 the council passed a resolution according to which all Reformed members of the Pfeifer Brotherhood had to attend Holy Mass during the Pfeifers day under threat of corporal punishment and kneel down during the conversion.

With the French Revolution, the whistle kingdom in Alsace ended. The last member died in 1838. “The last member of this pipe guild died in Strasbourg; It was the honorable Franz Lorenz Chappuy, born in Strasbourg on October 1, 1751, a former virtuoso on the violin, who shone as first violinist and orchestra leader for over 50 years. "

In 1899 the 500th anniversary of the first Pfeifertag was celebrated with great pomp in Rappoltsweiler. A detailed report on the Pfeifertum and the Rappoltsteiners, but especially a tribute to the last Rappoltsteiner and later first King of Bavaria, Maximilian I , appeared in the " Kölnische Volkszeitung " on March 10, 1899 under the title "The last king of the traveling people '- An Alsatian greeting on the Wittelsbach anniversary ”.
