Research into historical settlement, law, and language shows the way the Saxon-Magdeburg Law was received in the medieval territories of Eastern and Central Europe, which include the areas of today’s Poland. The article begins with a summary of the state of research on this topic. Afterwards, it presents reflexes of the reception of the Saxon-Magdeburg Law in Poland in a German- -Polish comparison, partly also including Czech material. The article focuses on loanwords in legal terminology.

Ergebnisse siedlungs-, rechts- und sprachhistorischer Forschungen belegen, daß eine Rezeption des sächsisch-magdeburgischen Rechts in den mittelalterlichen Territorien Ost- und Mitteleuropas erfolgte, so auch in den Gebieten des heutigen Polen. Einleitend wird der Stand der Forschung zur Problematik zusammengefaßt. Anschließend werden in einem deutsch-polnischen Vergleich anhand der „Magdeburger Urteile“ sprachliche Reflexe der Rezeption des „sächsisch-magdeburgischen Rechts“ in Polen vorgestellt. Teilweise wird auch tschechisches Material einbezogen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Entlehnungen.

The following text examines fief holding by women in the surviving charters from Saxony from about the 11th to the beginning of the 14th centuries. Specifically, these are the areas around Harz delimited by the five bishoprics of Meissen, Naumburg, Hildesheim, Halberstadt, and Merseburg. The basis for analysis is collections of charters from these dioceses supplemented by the collections of charters from the two most significant noble houses active in this area — the houses of Ascania and Welf. The selection of sources and region is not a coincidence: It is probably where Eike von Repgow lived most of his life and wrote his Saxon Mirror (Sachsenspiegel), which significantly influences the modern study of medieval law. Through an analysis of the terminology associated with fiefs and feudal institutions in general, as well as through specific examples of fief holding by women, this study attempts to show that the limitations on a woman holding a fief as defined by Eike in the Saxon Mirror and largely accepted in the contemporary literature are not entirely consistent with the testimony of these diplomatic sources.
