Purpose and Activities of the HREA
The
HREA serves as the supreme governing authority over the titles of nobility of the Holy Roman Empire, managing an official
list of those who have the right to bear and enjoy these titles and armorial bearings. It also engages in cultural and historical
preservation activities, including organizing events related to art and history. The association has reinstated historical
institutions like the Aulic Council (Consilium Aulicum - Reichshofrat) and the Imperial Chamber Court (Reichskammergericht
- Iudicium imperii) to maintain the tradition and legal aspects of the Holy Roman Empire. The HREA contributes to cultural history by
maintaining records, hosting events, and actively participating in discussions about the Holy Roman Empire's legacy, where
it shares historical artifacts and regalia connected to the Empire. The HREA, therefore, plays a crucial role in the preservation
of the historical, cultural, and legal aspects of the nobility associated with the Holy Roman Empire, connecting past traditions
with contemporary society.

also exist. The Association is recognized for its role in preserving the heritage of the Holy Roman Empire and its Nobility,
