Needle losses in Prussia 1794-1870
List of all ascertainable cases of Prussian nobility recognized in court personal loss
When in 1794 appeared the General Land Law for the Prussian States as a kind of "Basic Law " in Prussia , it also the state of the aristocracy with rights and duties has been presented to him . So was , for example, stated that Knight goods could be bought and sold only by nobles , but not by non- noble people. Nobles had also possess a certain marriage circle. Did they not befitting a person married , they required the approval of the king.
Needle loss in Prussia 1794- 1870Der nobility was thus a stand, which suffered statutory framework directives . Belonging to this stand was but dynamic, ie there were ways to change the state . This possibility can be described as " social mobility " .
Who had distinguished himself in the administration or in the military as Nichtadeliger ( "Citizens " ) , could be raised by an ennoblement of the King ( until 1918 ) to the peerage . These subjects experienced an appreciation of their profession . It was possible the ennoblement of one or more persons. Born before and after the ennoblement offspring were usually (if not a personal nobility was conferred ) also noble. The nobility inherited continued in both sexes in the man trunk.
Who had his stand proved to be unworthy , because he had committed a crime ( according to former definition) , could be discharged ( to 1870 ) from the nobility by a court conviction. The needle loss was possible only one person. The children born before needle loss retained their nobility, the children born after the needle loss were born nichtadelig and remained so even with all their descendants. The nobility inherited no longer with these children or those children.
To answer a frequently asked question we here the same: That means that today is not noble support of the here family name could possibly be descendants of formerly noble persons and families. In any case, an examination of the church records must be made by you to determine the filiation .
In 1870 the corresponding legal basis of the General Prussian law was repealed in the course of judicial reform by the unification of the German Reich and not taken the needle loss in the penal laws . Nobles who then is a "crime " committed , remained more noble. Of course, there have also been before 1794 and after 1870 "criminals" from the nobility , they were and are not only indicated by a needle loss. Adel losses it has thus given only in Prussia between 1794 and 1870.
It would be unscientific to claim that the nobility had committed crimes in his majority or is a " wicked " stand Absolute comparative figures of those who lost the nobility, to those who still viewed and lived blameless , can not be determined. Undoubtedly, but the needle loss and thus the delinquent Edelmann remained the exception. An example : 1815-1820 there were 33 losses nobility in Prussia with an estimated 140,000 people in aristocratic Prussia ever. That would be a percentage of only around 0,023 percent!
The persons named on this website all have several characteristics in common: they are , as far as it could see the Prussian authorities - and their official file based the information given here - initially only detected nobles , but the state was not always safe whether it was indeed nobles .
However, it was assumed that they are nobles . A distant thing in common: they lost all their nobility for their person of an offense for which they had been convicted of an ordinary Prussian court. In most cases the convicted person additionally get a fortress , prison or penitentiary , and occasionally a fine. The offenses were often in theft and fraud, receiving stolen property less frequently , forgery, fornication or rape.
The entries are reproduced here in abbreviated form . However, each entry has at least the following information ( except for very minor exceptions with missing first name or a lack of home ) :
First and last names of the convicted
Year in which occurred the needle loss
Home of the convicted ( it is called a Prussian province )
For details on the personal , professional , former career, occupation of father (data not uniformly available)
Offense , which led to the needle loss
Punishment , was detected on the addition to the needle loss
Below as an example of a database entry the data on the social democratic writer Johann Baptist v.Schweitzer , was the disallowed due to his political omissions of nobility :
Year of needle loss : 1866
Name: Johann Baptist v.Schweitzer
Home : Brandenburg
Personnel : 32 years of writer and editor of the newspaper " The social democrat " , son of a surviving reindeer criminal record , for an offense involving moral turpitude
