Civil state
The civil state is that part of the court of principalities that is uniformed like the military state. The civil state also wears uniforms, so-called civil uniforms , and is integrated into the centralized system of command and obedience. Ernst Haeckel gives a brief description in 1853.
Research into civil uniforms was the subject of a special research area at the University of Münster: On the symbolic constitution of political and social rank in the early modern period
