“Court Decree” issued by the Imperial Court of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II (Franz) [Present-day Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany; Holy Roman Empire]: “[…] Each Jew is to live in the community in which he has his family-spot/registration (‘Familienstelle’) […] which cannot be transferred into another community without the approval of the Land Office (‘Landesstelle’). […] Jews may lease and live in other places for the duration of a lease. However, when the lease expires, they have to move back to their [original] communities. […] For the duration of the lease, they have to ensure the proper payment of their family-taxes in that community […] if they own properties in other places, they are subject to the local jurisdiction. […]”
