German land records are not easily accessible. Almost none of them have been microfilmed. For the nineteenth century, land records are found at the state archives. Prior to the 1800s, they are usually found with the archives of the families who held lordship (Grundherr) over the land. These family archives may still be held by the family, or may have been transferred to regional or state archives. You may be able to use land records for your research if you can visit the archives in person or hire a local research agent. | German land records are not easily accessible.
