  • Extra informatie: - Legal History of Servants in Western and Southern Germany. In Western and Southern Germany, the legal history of servants (Gesinde) had specific characteristics shaped by feudal structures and urban traditions. Below is an overview of how the legal status of servants developed in these regions. In the Middle Ages: Feudal Structures and Manorial Law (Hofrecht) In much of Southern and Western Germany, manors and large farms were the main economic units. Servants, including farmhands and maids (Gesinde), were often subject to manorial law (Hofrecht), a special form of jurisdiction on estates. They were usually bound by annual labor contracts, which could only be terminated at certain times of the year.In ecclesiastical territories, such as the Archbishopric of Mainz or the Duchy of Bavaria, church authorities also regulated the treatment of servants. In the Early Modern Period Gesindeordnungen and Urban Regulations wereintroduced. From the 16th and 17th centuries, many towns and regions introduced special Gesindeordnungen (servant regulations), which established: Maximum working hours and rest periods for servants; Wages, food, and housing conditions; Strict behavioral rules, often enforced by employers. The requirement of a workbook (Arbeitsbuch) to record employment history. Cities such as Frankfurt am Main, Nuremberg, and Augsburg had detailed city laws regulating servant rights and obligations. In the 18th-19th Century stricter Control was enforced and Early Reforms took place. In much of Bavaria, Baden, and Württemberg, Gesindeordnungen were strictly enforced. Servants had limited freedom of movement and could not easily change employers without permission. In Prussia and parts of Southern Germany, the "Gesindezwang" (forced employment for the unemployed) was introduced. At the same time, reforms began: Napoleonic influence (early 19th century): In areas such as the Rhineland, feudal restrictions on servants were partially lifted. 1840s-1850s: The first modern labor laws were introduced in Baden and Bavaria.
