The St\u00fchlingen records describe at least nineteen incidents where Jewish merchants had to present their business ledgers in court, either as plaintiffs or as defendants to argue their case. Receipts too often bore inscriptions in Hebrew letters. In such cases, the courts could either accept the writer\u2019s testimony or call a trustworthy Jew as expert translator <a class=\"Internet_20_link\" href=\"\/Stuehlingen\/doc.php?d=1401\"><span class=\"Internet_20_link\">[R1401]<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Standard\"> Some degree of specialization existed among the merchants.

The Jews also did business with the count\u2019s court.

But in 1619 the Jews collectively gave a loan of 100 fl. to the dominion, of which 10 fl. was used to pay off a loan to Jeggle (<a class=\"Internet_20_link\" href=\"\/Stuehlingen\/tree.php?t=C2\"><span class=\"Internet_20_link\">C2<\/span><\/a>) and 90 fl. to the mason for the reconstruction of Castle Hohenlupfen <a class=\"Internet_20_link\" href=\"\/Stuehlingen\/doc.php?d=1517\"><span class=\"Internet_20_link\">[R1517]<\/span><\/a>.
