Residenz Neumarkt Oberpfalz 001
''Residenz'' () is a German word for "domicile", now obsolete except in the formal sense of an official residence. A related term, ''Residenzstadt'', denotes a city where a sovereign ruler resided, and thus carries a similar meaning to the contemporary expressions ''seat of government'' or ''capital''. As there were many sovereign ( imperially immediate) rulers in the Holy Roman Empire, ranking from lord (''Herr'') to prince elector and king, there are many cities, palaces, and castles in the empire's former territory which used to be a ''Residenz'', some of which are still so referred to today. The former status of a city as a ''Residenz'' is frequently reflected in the architecture of its center. During the baroque period especially, many prestigious buildings were erected; sometimes even new towns were founded. Most former ''Residenzstädte'' still serve as cultural and administrative centers today. Examples of buildings or cities: * Munich ''Residenz'', the former residenc ...
