Mediatization in Germany (1803-15)Return to the page on the Holy Roman Empire
IntroductionThis 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 1803Move 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. 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 EmpireThe following table summarizes what happened in the Council of Princes between 1803 and 1806.
2. Secularization of the Prelates BenchThe 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.
3. Changes in the counts' benchesThis 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 CitiesThis 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 1806-15Mediatization in the Treaty of Paris, July 1806This 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.
