Bürgher was a rank or title of a privileged citizen of a medieval to early modern European town. Burghers formed the pool from which city officials could be drawn,[citation needed] and their immediate families that formed the social class of the medieval bourgeoisie.
Admissionedit
Entry into burgher status varied from country to country and city to city.[1] In Hungary, proof of ownership of property in a town was a condition for acceptance as a burgher.[2]
Privilegesedit
Any crime against a burgher was taken as a crime against the city community.[citation needed] In Switzerland, if a burgher was assassinated, the other burghers had the right to bring the alleged murderer to trial by judicial combat.[3]
In the Netherlands, burghers were often exempted from corvée or forced labor, a privilege which later extended to the Dutch East Indies.[4] Effectively, only burghers could join the city guard in Amsterdam because in order to join, guardsmen had to purchase their own expensive equipment. Membership in the guard was often a stepping stone to political positions.
