Translation:
“This document is the award of a Baronship to Dr. Friedrich Ludwig Darl von Koeth-Wanscheid from the city of Mainz in the Dukedom of Hessen. The award is granted by the Archduke LUDWIG III by the grace of God Archduke of Hessen at the Rhine.

This Baronship entitles the recipient of the grant and all of his current and future legal offspring, of either sex, to all of the privileges and rights of a Baron, in the Arch Dukedom of Hessen. It also entitles them to the use of the seal and coat-of-arms, which is described, in detail further on in this letter.

This letter also orders any subject of the Archduke, regardless of their rank and title to honor the title and privileges of the recipient and his offspring, and warns them not to prevent them or have others prevent them from the use of the coat-of-arms and seal.

The letter is signed by the Archduke, himself and dated Darmstadt February 25, 1857.” less
