Patriciate of Frankfurt am Main

The Particiate (German: Patriziat) was the group of noble families which controlled in Frankfurt am Main from the High Middle Ages until the end of the Free City of Frankfurt in 1806. It consisted of a set of families who belonged to one of two patrician societies [de], called Alten Limpurg [de] and Zum Frauenstein [de].

History

In 1220, Emperor Frederick II abolished the advocatus of Frankfurt. From that point, the citizen community began to aggregate rights of self-government and privileges. From 1266, a council (German: Rat) represented the Frankfurt citizenry. It consisted of three "benches" of fourteen men each. The first bench consisted of "lay judges" Schöffen [de], who represented the patrician families and were coopted onto the council based on seniority. The second bench were also patricians, drawn from the "community", while the third bench were artisans drawn from the "council-status guilds." The emperor could appoint a Schultheiß ("right-speaker") who was to protect the emperor's prerogatives and was initially the supreme authority in the city.

From 1311, the Council elected two mayors by secret ballot: the "senior mayor" (German: Älteren Bürgermeister) from the first bench and the "junior mayor" (German: Jüngeren Bürgermeister) from the second bench. In May 1372, Frankfurt purchased the office of the Schultheiß from Emperor Charles IV and finally became a free imperial city.

Most of the old Frankfurt families banded together in the patrician society of Alten Limpurg, which went back the Zum Römer drinking society, founded in 1357. There were other noble families who did not belong to Alten Limpurg. They were mostly members of the Zum Frauenstein society, which derived from another drinking club, Zum Salzhaus, which was founded in 1382. Zum Frauenstein was slightly more liberal and admitted foreigners. As a result, the "nouveau riche" only had a chance at rising to political power through the Zum Frauenstein society.

Until the end of the free city in 1806, Alten Limpurg and Zum Frauenstein had great influence over the city council, while the guild masters lost most of their power over time. Initially, most seats on the council were reserved for members of Alten Limpurg, but, during the Fettmilch uprising in 1613, it was agreed that members of Zum Frauenstein and legal graduates would also be taken into account in the selection of members of the first two benches of the council, after which there was a kind of equality in the civic government between Alten Limburg and Zum Frauenstein.

The historian Andrea Hansert divides the patriciate in the 17th century into three clearly delineated groups, which he calls the "first" (Alten Limpurg), "second" (Zum Frauenstein") and "third" patriciates. Hansert's third group contained the citizen families outside the two societies who tended to dominate the "non-patriciate" council seats. This last category included the Textor family, the maternal ancestors of Goethe.

Abolition

The patriciate was abolished with the end of the free city in 1806, when Frankfurt became part of the State of the Prince-primate [de] and then, in 1806, the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt. After French rule ended in 1813, Frankfurt became a free city once more, passing a constitution in 1816. The patriciate was not revived. After that, the families in Alten Limpurg and Zum Frauenstein lost almost all the rights of nobility, which were once connected with an augmentation of honour.

The Zum Frauenstein society still exists. It administrates the Dr. Beyer Foundation [de], among other things. Frauensteinplatz and Frauensteinstrasse in Nordend are named after it. Alten Limpurg survives as a legal entity called the "noble inheritance of the house" (German: Adelige Ganerbschaft des Hauses).
