Home > Freiherr


Freiherr (German for "Free Lord") is a title of lower nobility in Germany, considered equal to the title Baron. When adressed, a German Freiherr is styled "Baron", although this is not the formal title.

The wife of a Freiherr is called Freifrau ("Free Lady"), a daughter of a Freiherr is called Freiherrin (often shortened Freiin).

Notice on the use: Noble titles have officially been abolished in Germany since 1918, they are now ordinary name-parts, and they may or may not be used. They do however have high prestige in some circles of society.
