Introduction

This page provides some details on the process of mediatization that took place between 1803 and 1815 in Germany (until 1806 the Holy Roman Empire).

See the page on the Holy Roman Empire for background.

Secularization and mediatization in 1803

Move this back to the page on the HRE. Only the tables will be kept here.

The dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire meant that anyone who was previously a directly subject to the authority of the Emperor ceased to be subject to any superior authority. In practice, however, not everyone survived as sovereign into the new legal order that emerged in 1806.

Of those who were immediate in the Empire, some became sovereign; the others became subjects of someone else: they were mediatized.

Most mediatizations took place in July 1806 as a consequence of the formation of the Confederation of the Rhine. Within the area covered by the Confederation, those who became full-fledged members of the Confederation became full-fledged members of the international community as sovereign entities. A few other mediatizations were carried out by Napoleon between 1806 and 1813, and were not reversed by the Congress of Vienna.

The exact process of mediatization was delineated by articles 25-33 of the treaty founding the Confederation. Although the mediatized families did not acquire sovereignty and lost some of their powers (legislation, final jurisdiction, control over police and military conscription, right to levy taxes), they kept their private estates and feudal rights, including lower jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases, jurisdiction over local policing, forests, hunting and fishing rights, mining rights, etc. Mediatized princes continued to be subject to a special jurisdiction in criminal matters, their estates were free from confiscation, and some of their liabilities were taken over by their new sovereigns. They were free to settle anywhere within the territory of the Confederation.

Over the course of the 19th c. the term _mediatized families_began to slide. The reason is that the act founding the German Confederation (8 June 1815) defined special privileges for members of the mediatized families, in a manner reminiscent of what the Confederation of the Rhine had done. But it left it to the individual members of the Federation to decide who was a mediatized family among its subject, and drew a list of princely families (in 1825) and comital families (in 1829) to whom this status had been recognized. These families became the ones included in the Gotha and are known as standesherrliche. Because of this process, there is some degree of discrepancy between the upper nobility of the Holy Roman Empire and that of 19th century Germany.

By the _Rheinbundsakte_of July 12, 1806, a group of German states consisting in Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Baden, Hesse-Darmstadt, Nassau and a few others, seceded from the German Empire. Article 24 specified a long list of domains, hitherto the properties of various princes and counts who were states of the Empire, henceforth to be ruled by the members of the new Confederation. These 72 princes and counts were "mediatized" (the old German term was "eximiert"; the word "mediatize" appears in French and English about the same time, in 1815).

The process of mediatization was not unknown. It was called "exemption" (from the obligations to the Empire). There were also cases of partial mediatization, in which the territories of a family were partly or wholly placed under the sovereignty of another state, but the family nevertheless retained its seat and vote at the Reichstag: Giech (subjected to Prussia 1791), Stolberg-Wernigerode (sovereignty shared with Prussia, 1714), Stolberg-Stolberg and Stolberg-Roßla (1730-38 partial subjection to Saxony), Schönburg (subjected to Saxony, 4 May 1740), Ortenburg (ceded its county to Bavaria, 1805), counts Fugger (to Bavaria, 7 June 1806).

A few weeks later, on August 6, 1806, the German Emperor relinquished his title and dignity, and absolved all his subjects from their obligations under the old Empire, leaving all other former states at the mercy of political events. No rights were guaranteed to the mediatized princes. Not before 1815 was their status defined.

1. Princes of the Empire

The following table summarizes what happened in the Council of Princes between 1803 and 1806.

1. The first column lists the composition in 1792 (based on Pütter; the order of precedence is as in Beck 1755, with spiritual and temporal princes alternating).
   • a name in italics indicates a state lost to France in 1801.
2. The second column lists the composition in 1803 as proposed by the Reichsdeputations-Hauptschluß. The order of precedence in the Hauptschluß is slightly different from the earlier one.
   • a name in bold indicates a new state.
   • a number in italics between parentheses gives the ranking for that state in column 1.
   • a date between brackets is the date of induction into the Reichstag.
3. The third column indicates the possessor of the seat in 1803, after the changes proposed by the Hauptschluß.
   • an underlined name indicates a change of ownership in 1803.
4. The fourth column indicates when the state was mediatized after 1803.

2. Secularization of the Prelates Bench

The following table lists the spiritual members of the two prelates' benches (of Swabia and the Rhine) before 1803, and the disposition of their lands to new owners in replacement of lost territories on the Left Bank of the Rhine.

1. The first column lists the original members of the prelates' benches.
   • Italics indicate a territory that was lost to France in 1801.
2. The second column lists subdivisions when the original territory was divided between new owners.
3. The third column indicates the new owner of the secularized territory.
4. The fourth column names the territory lost to France for which the new owner was being compensated.

3. Changes in the counts' benches

This table accounts for changes in the counts' benches from 1801 to 1803.

Italics indicate a territory that was lost to France in 1801.
(*): indicates that the new territory given in compensation in 1803 comes from the Prelates' benches.

where is Reifferscheid?

4. Mediatization of Imperial Cities

This table accounts for the free imperial cities from 1801 to 1806.

Italics indicate a city that was lost to France in 1801.
Bold indicates a city that remained an imperial city in 1803.
All others were mediatized in 1803.

Mediatization in the Treaty of Paris, July 1806

This table lists the mediatized territories listed in the treaty of July 1806 creating the Confederation of the Rhine. The owners of the territories are identified using Köbler (1999).

The territories listed in italics are actually annexed or ceded with full sovereignty and ownership (articles 13-23 of the treaty). The territories listed in art. 24, and not italicized here, are those over which states were given "sovereignty rights" but not ownership.

Princes

This list accounts for the states (i.e., individual votes in the Reichstag) who existed before 1803 and those who were created by the _Hauptschluß_of 1803. It shows whether or not they joined the Rheinbund (1806), the Deutsches Bund (1815), the Norddeutsches Bund (NDB, 1867) and Deutsches Reich (DR, 1871), and other changes in status between 1806 and 1815. At the end are listed states that joined either the Rheinbund or the Deutsches Bund but were not states before 1806.

N = No, Y = Yes
dates between brackets in the first column indicate the year in which the status of prince (with individual vote) was achieved. Those without dates had achieved it before 1582 (altfürstlich).

Counts

This table starts from the complete list of members of the counts' benches in 1792 above. it accounts for their status after 1806: whether they became princes in 1803 (by the Hauptschluß) or 1806 (by joining the Rheinbund), or else were mediatized.

1. The first column lists the families
2. The second column indicates:
   • The date of title, i.e. the year in which the title of Reichsgraf or Reichsfürst was conferred.
   • The date of admission, i.e. when the family was admitted to the counts' bench and became effectively reichsständisch. "A" means _altfürstlich_or altgräflich, a date of admission prior to 1582.
3. The third column indicates the bench to which the family belonged. The abbreviations of names of benches are as follows:
   • Wt = Wetterau
   • S = Swabia
   • F = Franconia
   • W = Westphalia
4. The fourth column names the territories possessed by the family (when they differ from the family name)
   • "P" indicates that the seat was held personaliter.
5. The fifth column indicates whether a new title or territory was acquired (in 1803, unless otherwise specified).
6. The last column indicates in which sovereign state the family was mediatized.

The 19th c. Standesherren

This table lists the families that could have been/were considered as Standesherren in the 19th century.

It is based on four lists or sources:

• the list of princely families whose heads received the title of Durchlaucht(by application of the Bundesbeschluß 18 Aug 1825) and of comital families whose heads received the title of Erlaucht (by application of the Bundesbeschluß 13 Feb 1829), as given in Meyer & Zoepfl: Corpus Iuris Confoederationis Germanicae. vol. 2, p. 177-78, 211-12. 1859.
  Meyer and Zoepfl cite the lists provided to the Diet by
  • Austria (Protokollen, 1829, p. 57, 341; 1830, p. 530)
  • Baden (1829, p. 64)
  • electoral Hesse (1829, p. 108)
  • Nassau (1829, p. 109)
  • Saxony (1829, p. 128)
  • Hesse-Darmstadt (1829, p. 128, 340)
  • Bavaria (1829, p. 382; 1831, p. 631)
  • Württemberg (1829, p. 407-08)
  • Prussia (1829, p. 425-26)
  • Hannover (1829, p. 548-49)
  • Mecklenburg (1830, p. 1103).
• the list of princely and comital families entitled to the styles of Durchlauchtand Erlaucht, as given in the Almanach de Gotha (e.g., ed. 1833, p. 107). This list also provides the names of the states who declared each family to the German Diet.
