German Lordships for Sale
Within the German Nobility (known as Adel throughout the Germanic kingdoms), the noble title of Edler is one of the most ancient ranks of the aristocracy. It is often likened to the rank and position of a Lord within the British noble hierarchy, similar to Esquire or the Landed Gentry.
With such a longstanding heritage, the titles of Edler have varied in their specific details over the centuries. For example, some ancient German Noble families only adopted the title of Edler a while after they were ennobled. It’s believed this was to distinguish them from ‘newer’ nobility.
The term ‘edler’ actually stems from the German word for noble, which is edel. The position of an Edler within the aristocratic hierarchy is below that of a noble Knight or Ritter in German, but ranking above untitled or ministerial nobles.
The specific claims, property and duties of the title of Edler also varied during the evolution of the German aristocratic system. While it is a noble hereditary feudal title, it was sometimes linked to land or estates, but often the title did not include any feudal property or rights.
The stories behind the German Lords and Landed Gentry tell the very history of Germany, positioned as they were in a rare crossover between the elite and powerful aristocracy, and the everyday people and peasants in the towns and villages. This makes these esteemed noble titles a fascinating addition to any family history, particularly those with strong ties to the Germanic Kingdoms and their vast territories.
The Edler Title is a hereditary aristocratic rank, a rare and intriguing remnant of the German Nobility. These very prestigious titles are extremely valuable, both in terms of historic interest and their exclusivity within European and International social circles
The German Nobility was one of the most powerful and elite social orders throughout the entire history of Medieval Europe, dominating the land, politics and social classes of the time. While the official classes of the aristocracy were abolished in Germany at the turn of the 20th century, the noble titles are still regarded with considerable esteem in many of the European countries that hold links or ancestral ties to Germany and the Holy Roman Empire. For example, the British Royal Family has very strong ancestral links with German Royalty, most notably the connection fostered by the marriage of Queen Victoria and her German husband Albert in 1840.
With their proximity to the mighty German Royalty, as well as the higher-ranking aristocrats within the nobility, the ancient titles of Edler hold an enchanting place in the story of Germany. Though they may no longer confer grand country homes or rural estates, these rare noble titles make for an impressive and intriguing status symbol for those who appreciate the richest strands of German history or value the eminence of ancient heritage.
