Lists the tax contributions for various professions and population groups in Lower Lusatia (Niederlausitz.) Jews who live in cities are levied the highest tax rate. A protected Jew has to pay ten Reichsthaler, his wife five Reichsthaler, his children and servants one Reichsthaler each. In comparison: Merchants pay six Reichsthaler, “capitalists” pay five Reichsthaler per one thousand Reichstahler in their possession, Noblemen pay four Reichsthaler, physicians pay two Reichsthaler and peddlers pay twelve Groschen. Jews in the countryside pay only half of the listed rates. Lusatia became a province of Saxony in 1635, except for a region around Cottbus, possessed since 1462 by Brandenburg. Frederick Augustus III (1768–1827), elector and first king of Saxony, promulgated a restrictive Judenordnung (regulation concerning Jews) in 1772. Saxon Jewry thus remained numerically static throughout the following decades - an increase during the Napoleonic wars proved to be only temporary. The Congress of Vienna awarded most of Lusatia to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815, except for the southern part which remained part of Saxony.
