Art/Literary - Law (general) / early medieval European law
German term or phrase: Rechtsraum
Is this a syn. for legal status (Rechtl. Stellung)? '...given their own place in law'? Here's the context -
Um Früchte und Haustiere zu schützen, waren die Gärten des frühen Mittelalters eingehegt (Hortus conclusus), sie beanspruchten einen eigenen Rechtsraum.
(an odd omission in L'scheidt)
Thanks in advance..

Notes to answerer
Asker: Certainly looks helpful (and so fast - thank you!) - 'represented a legal domain of their own', then?
