German States before 1918 F-M
- Note: The list below is only
complete for those polities that survived beyond 1806.
Within
- the Holy Roman Empire, there existed
countless minor states (ecclesiastical states,
imperial
- cities, imperial villages, lordships,
counties, baronies, principalities, etc.), which
- are nearly impossible to list with
even partial accuracy. A major reorganization was
- brought about by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss
of 1803, when more than 100 polities were
- abolished. Polities listed prior to
1806 are a sample of the major or most well known
- polities of the Holy Roman Empire and
the Confederation of the Rhine. After 1806, all the
- polities that survived the Napoleonic
Wars and the Congress of Vienna are listed.
- The Golden Bull 25 Dec 1356
codified the procedure for electing the king and
specified the (then) seven princes, called electors (Kurfürsten),
who would carry out the election, thus confirming then
current practice. These princes nominally derived
their electoral status from the high court offices (Erzämter)
they held. The first-named three electors were the
holders of the office of archchancellor of the Holy
Roman Empire, i.e., the archbishops of Mayence
(Mainz), Treves (Trier), and Cologne (Köln). These
archbishops were of course major territorial lords,
although in the period covered by this record their
territorial holdings no longer included the cities
from which they derived the names of their sees (Erzstifte).
- For the sake
of providing a division between eras, after the
republican revolutions
- of Nov 1918, which overthrew the last
German monarchies, remaining states are listed under
- German
states since 1918; these include the
states (länder)
and former provinces of Germany. The provinces
of Prussia are listed in a separate section following
the entry for Prussia (Prussian provinces).
Statistical data is given only for those polities that
survived until 1866.
