Mediatization in Germany (1803-15)
Return to the page
on the Holy Roman Empire
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The fourth column indicates when the state was mediatized after
1803.

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).
