Liberties of the Tower of London (Q987342)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Liberties of the Tower, or the Tower Liberty is a small neighbourhood in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, East London, which includes both Tower Hill and the Tower of London. The area was defined sometime after 1200 to provide an open area around the Tower to ensure its defensibility. The liberty was an independent administrative unit from then until it was formally abolished on 25 June 1894. The district maintains a ceremonial existence, with its custom of beating the bounds being a particularly well known example of the tradition.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Die Tower Liberties oder Liberties of the Tower of London waren Flächen im Londoner Stadtgebiet, die nicht der Verwaltung der City of London oder der Grafschaft Middlesex unterlagen, sondern direkt dem Tower of London und damit dem Konstabler des Towers unterstanden. Sie gehörten zur Tower division, auch Tower Hamlets genannt, die ebenfalls dem Konstabler unterstanden.
