The wife of a ''Freiherr'' is called '' Freifrau '' (German for "Free Lady"), a daughter of a ''Freiherr'' is called ''Freiin'' (short for ''Freiherrin''). Usage note: Nobility authority has been abolished in Germany since 1918; the titles are now legally considered to be simply part of the family name, and they may or may not be used. They do, however, have high prestige in some circles of society. The same title is used in Sweden and to some extent in Denmark (- Norway ) and Finland ; in Scandinavian it is spelled ''friherre'' and in Finnish ''vapaaherra''. EXTERNAL LINKS |
