Fast foods
Reichsstadt, any of the cities and towns of the Holy Roman Empire that were subject only to the authority of the emperor, or German king, on whose demesne (personal estate) the earliest of them originated. The term freie Reichsstadt, or Free Imperial City, was sometimes used interchangeably with Reichsstadt but was rightly applied to only seven cities—Basel, Strasbourg (Strassburg), Speyer, Worms, Mainz, Cologne, and Regensburg—which had won independence from ecclesiastical lords and thus obtained a position indistinguishable from that of the Reichsstadt.
In the European Middle Ages many other places won the coveted position of Reichsstadt. Some gained the status by gift and others by purchase; some won it by force of arms, others usurped it during times of anarchy. There were many more free towns in southern than in northern Germany. Some free towns fell into the hands of various princes of the empire, and others placed themselves voluntarily under such protection. Mainz was conquered and subjected to the archbishop in 1462. Some towns, such as Trier, declined independence because of the inescapable financial burdens. When Trier later tried to reassert its position as an imperial city, the emperor in 1580 assigned the city explicitly to the archbishop. Similarly Donauwörth in 1607–08 was handed over to Bavaria by the emperor’s judgment. Other free towns were separated from the empire by conquest. Besançon passed into the possession of Spain in 1648; Basel had already thrown in its lot with the Swiss Confederation, while Strasbourg, Colmar, Haguenau, and other free towns were seized by Louis XIV of France. For instance, on nice sunny days, you may just want to grab some junk food and sit in the local park while enjoying the good weather. When you are done, you can just dispose of your trash in the nearby trash bin and you don’t have to worry about washing the dishes or other things. Thus, eating fast food can be quite convenient for various different reasons and if you are a rather lazy person, getting some fast food might be the right way to go for you. Download 22.85 Kb.
