Note: "A Wildbann ("wildlife ban") in the Holy Roman Empire was a specific form of royal hunting privilege.

The forest referred to in a Wildbann was called a Wildbannforst ("wildlife ban forest") or Bannforst ("ban forest"). Originally only the king had the right to hunt in a wildbann. Hunting rights were also delegated to others for a fee. They had to pay the so-called wildgeld ("wildlife money").

Before the 9th century, royal forests were known as forestes [singular: forestis]. A forestis was a legally recognised region that could be used by the king. This right included the use of forest produce (such as timber), hunting, fishing and clearing. Royal rights over any unoccupied land (ius eremi) were the legal basis for the establishment of the forestes. From the 8th century the Church and the nobility also established such forestes or took over former royal forestes." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.09.2019)
