The Noble German Barons
The Noble Title of Baron is one of the most ancient of aristocratic ranks, and German Noble Titles played a very significant part in the history of Ancient Europe.
The term ‘Baron’ was used to identify the King’s companion; it stems from the Germanic word “Baro”, meaning warrior.
Holding warrior status was a particular privilege among the Germanic people, as only a freeborn man was entitled to bear arms.
As a result, those acquiring a noble rank such as Baron, came to represent an elevated social status, and they were granted entry to the esteemed social realm of other noble families and the aristocratic luminaries of the time.
The original German Barons were often soldiers with an aura of legend and grandeur, a privileged social group fond of weaponry, horses, and hunting, who served not only the Germans but the Austrians and Russians as well.
These titles of nobility and the accompanying legal privileges became symbolic of a sacred and military order.
The German Nobility was one of the most powerful and privileged of the European social elite, yet the old values of chivalry and honour were notably prominent features of the German Baronial class.

Our Baronial Titles are usually located in the former lands of the Holy Roman Empire, and sometimes Prussia, Galitzia, Bohemia, the Baltic Estates, and other regions of the ancient German empires and confederations.
Most of the owners of German Baronies formed part of a very privileged social group of landowners and military officers. Hunting, shooting, and an interest in the old concepts of Chivalry were common to the German baronial class.
It’s worth noting that most of the Barons would have had a strong interest in the military, especially in the fields and corps of artillery and cavalry, typically being acclaimed and respected experts in weaponry and horses, which lends an extra air of exclusivity to these German nobility titles.
The German Barons were very active in their society, both economically and socially, and would usually come from ancient lineages of nobility.
They were also very proud of their heritage, and made important contributions to the genealogical knowledge of Europe, vigorously defending the prerogatives of their nobility, and the virtues of Christianity.
Habitually, the German Barons were born leaders who played a vital role in the administration of the imperial institutions and, as military leaders, carrying the torch of tradition once lit by Emperor Charlemagne.
