“Special Taxation of Jews” ordered by Lord Johannes Hannemann [Present-day France; Lordship of Lichtenberg; House of Hanau]: “[…] that We take up the citizens of Hagenau and the city itself, both Christians and Jews, and everything that belongs to the city […] and that the payment of 50 Mark Silver annually by the Jews is to serve as an emergency fund which is modest […].” [Researcher’s note: In the same document, Christian citizens of Hagenau are assured that they will not be required to provide any financial assistance to the Lordship of Lichtenberg whatsoever.”]
