“Patent regarding a body-tax for Jews” issued by Count von Wartenberg on behalf of Frederick I of Prussia [Present-day Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Russia; Kingdom of Prussia]: “[…] all Jews are to present their passports and letters/patents of protection (residency permits) at all local toll-crossings and even if they are not protected, they are to pay the body-tax; […] and in places where the mail-office and toll-office are the same, the Jews are to show their passports and letters/patents of protection (‘Schutz-Patente’) to the post-master […who is] to collect the body-toll from the unprotected [Jews]. […]” [Researcher’s note: Johann Kasmir Kolbe von Wartenberg was a count and Minister-President/Prime Minister of Prussia.]
