This document is a "Entlassungs-Urkunde aus der Preussischen Staatsbuergerschaft". Every Prussian citizen who applied for permission to emigrate received such a document, which released him from Prussian citizenship. It also served as proof that the emigration was legal, i.e. that the potential emigrant was not running away from debts, arrest warrants etc. |
