Until the late Middle Ages, there was no public postal service in Germany.Maximilian I introduced a new system of messaging in the Holy Roman Empire in 1490 with postal stations, where horsemen exchanged horses and/or messages. Because of the postal contract between Philip the Fair and Francis of Taxis in 1505, the latter has long been credited with founding the first modern postal enterprise. However, this post was initially a dynastic post, not open to the general public. In the second half of the 16th century, other German princes also established their own message boards. At first, these served only the princely post office and not the public. During the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), the post was of extraordinary importance. The Peace of Westphalia (1648) gave the sovereigns full sovereignty over their territories. No decision was made about the postal sovereignty. In 1658, with the election of Emperor Leopold I. (1640-1705), the rights of the Taxis family, who had called themselves Thurn und Taxis since 1650, to the post of postmaster general in the Holy Roman Empire were confirmed. An additional protocol stipulated that the postal regal of the sovereigns should not be affected by this. Eugen Alexander von Thurn und Taxis was elevated to hereditary princely status as Imperial Postmaster General in the Holy Roman Empire in 1695. Since 1819, the Thurn and Taxis postal territory had comprised: Württemberg, both Hesse and Nassau, the Thuringian states, the Lippe principalities, the Oldenburg principality of Birkenfeld, Hohenzollern and the Free City of Frankfurt am Main. It was not until 1850, with the merger of the German-Austrian Postal Association as an amalgamation of small-state posts, that a uniform rate system came into effect.
