“Patent regarding stores and stalls/kiosks of Jews in the various localities” by Eberhard von Danckelmann* on behalf of Fredrick III [Present-day Germany; Margraviate of Brandenburg]: “After His Serene Highness, the Prince-Elector of Brandenburg and […] Our gracious lord, have received a number of humble [complaints] from [the various guilds …] that the ordinances of 1693 regarding Jewish-stores and stalls/kiosks […] are no longer regarded very much, so that not only those stores that were closed in the past are now open again, but the number of stalls/kiosks have increased in such a manner, that it is now nearly impossible to walk through any street in Berlin without encountering Jewish-stores/businesses (‘Juden-Gewölbe’) that sell all sorts of knick-knacks to the detriment of the local businesses […] this is why His Serene Highness orders with the power of this: 1) […] local protected Jews who have established a store or a stall/kiosk after the year 1690 are to close these down and not to reestablish them in the future, even if that is noted in their letters of protection […].” [Researcher’s note: *Eberhard von Danckelmann served as Prime Minister of Brandenburg-Prussia from 1692-97.]
