Burghers formed the pool from which city officials could be drawn, and their immediate families that formed the social class of the medieval bourgeoisie. Admission Entry into burgher status varied from country to country and city to city. In Slovakia proof of ownership of property in a town was a condition for acceptance as a burgher. Privileges Any crime against a burgher was taken as a crime against the city community.
