Markt, Titel


Market (Markt), term originally referred to a town in which merchants regularly put up their stalls on the market place. During the Middle Ages the right to hold markets (fairs, weekly markets for vegetables, fruits, cattle etc. ) was granted by the prince; later on by the feudal lord. The villages which became market towns after 1849 did not obtain any legal prerogatives by means of this title. Despite this fact, however, many municipalities still strive to become a market town (today the title is awarded by the respective provincial government).
