This book is a collection of historical documents pertaining to the legal and constitutional history of the city of Villingen, in present-day Germany, from the 10th to the 18th century. The documents include charters, ordinances, and other legal instruments that provide insights into the development of urban law and governance in medieval and early modern Europe. Through these documents, the author traces the evolution of Villingen from its origins as a small settlement in the 10th century to its emergence as an important urban center in the 13th and 14th centuries. The documents shed light on the legal relationship between the city and its feudal overlords, the counts of Fürstenberg, and the gradual expansion of the city's autonomy and self-government. The book also examines the day-to-day administration of justice in Villingen, including the establishment of a municipal court, the appointment of officials such as the mayor and the bailiff, and the development of a system of criminal and civil law. The documents reveal the challenges faced by the city in maintaining order and enforcing the law, as well as the efforts of the citizens to protect their rights and liberties. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval and early modern European history, legal history, and urban studies, providing a rich and detailed account of the development of a particular city within the broader context of European urban history.
