This is about the city Schippenbeil. It lay about 70 miles southeast of Königsberg in circles Bartenstein. Today it is located in northern Poland than 10 km from the border to Kaliningradskaya Oblast away with the name of Se, popol (the checkbox under the "e" means that one "e" nasal says, such as Sempopol, the emphasis is on the first "o").
lived in this city demonstrated that for 1662 to 1923 continuously many generations of my ancestors and had often in the self-government with this community. The city had, according to contemporary historical circumstances, about 2,000 to 3,000 inhabitants. After today's terms so than a small town. But in earlier times, this small community had quite a weight, because the other East Prussian towns were hardly much bigger. The city had a lot of land and appeared to be sitting on the dependent peasants as a noble landowner. The citizens enjoyed a number of privileges were free and no one in particular as a subject because of the supreme sovereign. The city had the right a relatively autonomous self-government: mayors, councilors, judges, town clerks, town musician, the older people (chairman) of the guilds (the various professions in the trades) were selected independently from the voting citizens. The supreme ruler confirmed (confirmierte) the only choice. The city had the right to a series of revenue, which remained part directly in their own cash to cover the local costs (salaries of city officials, maintenance of buildings, roads and bridges, military facilities, hospital and poor house) or to a certain extent only in authority of the sovereign were taken and forwarded to them. Had about the councilors (earlier they were called Rath relatives) and put Cämmerer regular account. Even more, the Funtionsträger and conscientious citizens of the city, a number of differentiated tiered privileges: supplied free firewood from the urban forest from the humble peasants of Langendorf, free lumber for the repair of buildings, brewing rights, use of city-owned land outside the city for own operation and animal husbandry, fishing rights, grazing rights in the urban forest and the like.
in the national archives, I found a file that is reported in the abuses of violent disputes over terms of the freedoms and privileges from the 1691. The fact contained detailed descriptions of fascinating insights into the social structure of a small city grant over 300 years ago. But read for yourself:

4th Wirdt allergehorsambst gebehten that as in other cities, usually one of those town are, bey the herrr mayor, andt should auffwarten the other Beyme judge at all times, so if something now before its Ambt Instantaneous is außzurichten andt, gesuchet the servant is not long darff be: in the case but after beyde necessity of bey things a Ambt or Raht andt court Sindt necessary, should also do the same with the assistance of Wagenknecht's their duty.

Ad 4 et 5 Beyde town are, by the Publico Darzu held that you Beyme andt Raht mayor, judges should andt auffwarten court, such must be taken diligently in eight, including those commanded servants, the judge also auffzuwarten, andt when a Beyme mayor, the other is to arrive itself at the judge, andt when they both have to do to a bey must wager the beyspringen offer a helping andt Handt. Deßgleichen when commanded by the judge shut his a charge the town are, they need to perform such a moment, this account of the mayor andt andt have acceptable maintenance Consens, ALSS which has nothing to do, not to require.

7th virtue of Churfürstl: Verabscheidung of Septembre 8th: verwichenen 1689sten year is in delictis andt to regis act when Someone wirdt angeklaget properly, the thing Baldt before the judge or court gemachet pending, but otherwise, where there is no accuser, and then travel an Überthäter per modum inquisitionis from Raht a Scrutinium held andt to pass afterward, the same to the court be where followeth nohtwendig by our LandtR: Lib: j.tit 20, § .10. the bißherigen practice andt other day mediation Sr: HochEdelgeb: Herrl: Prayer Men sheriff fortgesetzet andt, jetzo confirmiren to be gebehten gehorsambst that the low Diebereyen, damage done, allerhandt blows andt wounds andt like evil deeds, worauff only Geldt or however the absence the tower Tight wirdt zuerkandt, if you have even Beyme Mr. Mayor, or E.

Ad 7 All delicta andt to regis acts are before Judge andt court, but where no plaintiff negotiations andt the Raht perform such must be obtained it before Wundt before it the court übergiebet, inexpensively Scrutinium, as such, the Churfürstl: Verabscheidung of 8th Septembre: 1689 requires such always happens only in important andt significant Things in small Diebereyen but damage inflicted allerhandt blows, wounds andt like evil deeds, worauff Geldt only one, or in his absence, tower-tight is zuerkandt is not under the pretext nöhtig Scrutinia keep. The matters the judge and the court from where the mayor to andt pull Raht. Nachdehm is now Was vorgeschehen, güttlich been beygeleget, andt andt Raht mayor promised künfftig such things to the judge andt court leave; ALSS had darbey be at that. Deßgleichen remain four Rthlr: so that court, in addition StadtMitlen empfänget, because of their professional services rendered in criminal matters, so driven ex officio been Otherwise it has no sintemahl Ergetzlichkeit against the same cheap, umb Viell more, except a weill Uhralten habit the same to the pastors Diacono andt annually to the New Jahresgeschenck dargereichet been.
8th seeing that shift andt divisions (= inheritance matters) after our LandtRecht Lib: j.tit: 10 § .19. in pr: tit andt: 43.art: 4 what acting in front of the Sportuten Inventirungen, andt-layer divisions wirdt to the civil matters or in front of E.

The ones doing so guilty division, compelliren there, and when the same abgezeuget by the court, enroll in the town books can, confer: num: 12 d. L. ALSS wirdt gebehten hereby dehmütigst that fortmehro bey the arid character of our revidirten LandtR: zumahlen because praefat sound the same: before: But again this Jemandt our constitution, all habits, so the revidirten regulations, statutes andt gemeeß LandtRechten matter rest have andt contrary, auffgehoben gäntzlich should be cassiret and done, is absolutely his, andt E. Erb: Raht with the layer-andt divisions may even be content. Ad 8 layer andt divisions include Landtrecht According to court, andt which can not be passed with the same rightfully argued, bore still the same times of undencklichen Raht Beyme been ALSS let that matter rest dabey court also liked when you only the Kauff, exchange andt other prescriptions, so any time you have been bey, be allowed to enter in which mayors and Raht gladly and willingly.
9th also that the so genandte Feldt Men The guests can things which are before the judge or the Court of ALSS, fields, meadows, paths and woods of this city außgeübten thief stable, robbery, Gewaldt, Schlägerey and wounds inflicted damage, modification, and Säeung foreign land and the like, and the parent of Raht Bet Lord, Kauff and Verkauff andt, Was the same pending, still does not decide to take andt the right, but let the Erkentnüß about condemnation Tight andt the judge or court victim Being gestellet. Water but from Rahts andt Intermediate Courts occupied Ämbter concerniret if somethings in which things that left you to decide bey same is erkandt of Law, andt someone from the Auspruch belong elsewhere Wolter, the relationship of Raht andt Court should happen conjunctim so the judge and that court Collegium win over entries in the corresponding jurisdiction or Vergeringerung of AMBT not be a source of complaint. ad 9 The Feldt Men should not künfftig The ones do things like this before andt court judges are to take the right to decidir viellweniger. Undt So you give information about you to complain cause, and also Daferner Solte dispute arise between you, you will be objective and, Maass. andt with the betting which includes things along, as it is to be held in Kaliningrad, the like of which sayings when wirdt provociret.
10th Similar to the jurisdiction auffm Langendorff Schippenbeyl no one in here specially endowed or reserviret, another is from the city gantz Theuer acquired, so ask judge andt gehorsahmbst court that remain the same even willing eygen Gantzer the city and the mayor andt Raht, andt court after the judge in our country legally Lib: 1 tit: 10 §. 8.9. 10th et scheidt set in the objects, such as the andt vorigten punct counsel, may be exerciret except those Dorff, andt other small things that each of the Jurisdictions delegatam Schultzen andt Dorff which left the jury, nor to the message can be determiniret and discussed. Ad 10 Weilln Raht the jurisdiction of any exerciret on Langendorff that bit his court date, not dargethan that in which coincidences shall belong in court, they have been in court jemahls zudehm, including by the Commissions jurisdiction Rahts festgesetzet been, ALSS has there have to be cheap darbey matter rest. The low dorff things remain as of old bey the Schultzen andt which the jury dorff, which have to do after your content is arbitrary.
11th Stellet court that the legal Erkäntnüß that if this city is bey eraügen some things that are neither per Expressum textum et argumentum LR: still a legal habit of some or Ambt Raht court andt are actually in them that may apply praeventionis Jus, Thus, he who can cite such things invite the First and the same should also be the cognition and execution bewerckstelligen without someone's disability.

13th Of undencklichen years ago it was on this city been in use, that if the GewercksEltesten or Schöpp champion in the name of Sämbtl: Zünfft and Gewercke something in town matters before local Raht or find otherwise have had, bey andt the judge court selbige first, gathered together deliberiret and conjunctim, to water projects to transportation of goods on city closed wool ride whereby the Sämbtl: links in perpetual concordance with E.

Erb : Rahts Consens together not required, or may get there voluntarily, which defines, such were also a Commissoria Verabscheidung gesetzet fixed. Weilln but quaesitum by such a langwirige custom local court Jus created, which of them andt lifted wool council lords commissioners niemahls Maassen, after things all conventicula verbohten andt are, according to the Commissorialischen Abhandelung the Schöpp champion not verstattet that Gewercke without beregten Consens together to come, which the judge andt court, on this by no means heard, nor its Nohtdurfft andt so beygebracht in the Verabscheidung can not be-ing gemeinet, cum Resinter alios acta alys non praejudicet again that Jus verordenet quaesitum nothing zumahlen, previously not selbige the gantz Gewercke, but the same Elders, or their deputies come together, to the point E. Erb: Raht sothane Commissorialische institution in hoc terms contra juris principia ad alia non cogitata extendiren, and rest-ring Iren not contrary to afectiren Wolter, Selbiger etiam cum alterius injuria absolutam potestatem the gantz City maketh the suspect. ALSS asks judge andt gehorsahmbst court to protect highly inclined bey their laudable habit, and E.

Siegel - Christoff Alexander von Rausch (who mentioned herein as captain, today you would call it District)
I do not quite know if anyone really the whole text until the end of desire had to read. I present this copy still available here, because I think that it is an important document on the organization of a community.
If we imagine these days sometimes, that we are swimming in the presence of the highest wave of the so-called progress and all must have been before us inevitably somehow be shown a low level of development, can such a document from ancient times, the ideas about the oh-so- backward lives of our ancestors in past centuries and all to be bold in faith in progress relative to help.
In my opinion it is rather that the entire knowledge capacity is a community of people with small fluctuations more or less constant. As time is changing but the knowledge in such a way that new things come and fall victim to the old forgotten. But this knowledge extends itself can be reconciled. Much is lost. Much is added. Organic growth ... ? But in spite of our great technological advances we have today but still have the same social problems as shown here in this over 300 years old grievances. We still have people or instances of us who enrich themselves at the community or think that we must operate to the detriment of others in their own pockets. Only the totals, the dimensions of today may become larger. We still have a problem with it, as we do with such cases of abuse of power, embezzlement and worse to deal appropriately or how we can prevent can. We still have the problem as we had peace in a community, whether in a small town 300 years ago or in our state, will take effect on our continent and our globe. The everywhere more or less intense surge of protests show that nowadays have only extended the dimensions of the problems are basically not much different than 300 years ago in Schippenbeil (I admit, this is a bold comparison, but I lie But that's not so wrong - or ).
fascinating about this file, I think, as created in this complicated agreement worked out the basis for a resumption of peaceful coexistence in that community was.
good 20 years after these grievances are indeed deplorable circumstances again become noised abroad in that town Schippenbeil, but that's another story (see earlier).
