Tagbars

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tagbaren is originally a Lower Saxon legal term of the 16th and 17th centuries with the meaning of free parents conceived and born . Since the 19th century, the term has been related to people from Bremen who descended from parents who were born in Bremen and who grew up in Bremen themselves. The word is also used as an adjective (tagable Bremer).

The term is only one of the definitions of the “real Bremer” in the tradition of social demarcation (e.g. eight-class voting rights ). Others have been passed down orally, which explains narrower interpretations of the conceivable.
