Freiherr
Freiherr (German for "Free Lord") is a title of lower nobility in Germany, the Baltic states and Austria-Hungary, considered equal to the title Baron. When addressed, a German Freiherr is styled "Baron", although this is not the formal title. The title derives from the fact that the holder held free title to his land (unlike ordinary barons, who were originally knights (Ritter) all of which have the prefix "von"). A Freiherr usually held administrative and judgeship rights on behalf of the territorial lord -- the duke or count.
