“Ordinance” issued by the Government of Prince-Elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg [Present-day Germany; Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg/Holy Roman Empire]: “[…] 1) that all Polish-Jews shall be earnestly forbidden to enter and to be present in these/our lands. […] all local authorities are to watch over this in their districts […] and have this posted again publicly on all warning-poles (‘Warnungs-Pfählen’), […] at border-crossings, and on secret paths and byways, as well as in taverns; 2) Should this current ordinance be defied again, and there be foreign beggar-Jews present again in our lands after 6 weeks […] the protected Jewry* shall be liable for them. […] therefore, it is to be announced in all non-local places and warned that Polish-Jews as well as beggar-Jews are not to be allowed entry into our lands […]” [Researcher’s note: *There were a number of Jews who were given special permissions to settle in the territories of Brunswick-Lüneburg.]
