The agrarian constitution in the Kingdom of Hanover was characterized by the disparity between the ownership and the cultivation of agricultural land, which dated back to the medieval feudal system. The landlords were of very different kinds. Besides the nobility, owners could be monasteries, towns and other corporations as well as wealthy citizens. The rights deriving from the ownership consisted of levies – either in kind or in cash – and services of the dependent peasants. The replacement of the levies and services burdening the peasant estates took place in the kingdom through the replacement laws initiated by Johann Carl Bertram Stüve at the beginning of the 1830s. The replacement of these burdens constituted a process that lasted several decades and at the same time caused a social upheaval of the rural population in the kingdom. Unaffected by the redemption laws were the classes of the rural population below the peasants, who formed a proletariat comparable to the industrial areas of Germany. The aim of this monograph is to trace the changes in the agrarian constitution of the Kingdom of Hanover in parallel with the constitution of the state.
