Kaiserpfalz

Under a Palatinate (from MHG phal [ s ] ze to OHG phalanza from mlat. Palatia ( Pl ) to Latin palatium "palace" ) was understood in the early and high Middle Ages formed (living) bases for the traveling King ( rare for a bishop as territorial lord, who stood against the king in gas Tung obligation). The term was inspired by the Palatine Hill, one of Rome's seven hills on which resided in many parts of the Roman Empire of Augustus ( Domus Augustana ).

Description

The medieval king ruled not by a capital, but rather had to be possible "on site" and personal contact to keep his vassals ( Reisekönigtum ). Since palaces were built and used by the king in his capacity as ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, their historically correct term royal palace. The term imperial palace is a designation of the 19th century, overlooks the fact that the King after a coronation ( by the Pope ) had the title of the Roman Emperor. In contrast to a Palatinate, where the journey king exercised his stately duties, a royal court is merely an asset owned by the King, who only occasionally serves as a residence for the king in transit.

Palaces consisted primarily of large estates, catering and accommodation for the king and his numerous suite, which often consisted of hundreds of people, as well as numerous guests and their horses offered. In Latin this royal courts were called "villa regia " or " curtis regia ". They were either in bishoprics, at great monasteries, with remaining urban residues, or on vacant land in the midst of King goods. Palaces originated mostly at a distance of 30 kilometers, which corresponded to a former day's journey on horseback.

A Palatinate was at least from the palace, a palace chapel and a manor. The kings and emperors led there from official acts, held their court days and there celebrated high church festivals.

The palaces, visiting the ruler, changed depending on their orientation. Especially important were those palaces in which the kings spent the winter (winter palaces ), and the holiday palaces, whereby the Easter festival represented the most important festival (Easter palaces ).

Larger palaces were often located in cities, the special rights (eg freedom Empire ) had, but could also bishoprics or monasteries kingdom be.

In the Hohenstaufen era of the Holy Roman Kingdom also important princes began to demonstrate their claims to power by building their own palaces. Important examples are the Dankwarderode Castle of Henry the Lion in Braunschweig and the Wartburg above Eisenach. Both buildings follow the basic structure of the Staufen palaces and have their proportions.
