Bürger (English spelling) Burger

Japanese: Bürger(英語表記)Burger
Bürger (English spelling) Burger

...In Japanese history and social science, this term is usually used as a translation of civil society, bürgerliche Gesellschaft (German), société civile, société bourgeoise (both French), etc. Along with "bourgeois class," "civil revolution," "civil law," and "civil liberties," it was devised to recognize and indicate the characteristics of modern European society, and is one of the concepts that became particularly influential after World War II.

From [City]

...The city law proclaimed the principle of Stadtluft macht frei (city freedom), which stated that anyone could become free after living in a city for one full year, regardless of their previous history.
[Citizenship and Civic Consciousness]
The process by which medieval cities established this kind of autonomy and became communities whose members were a completely new social class called "citizens" varied from region to region and from time to time, but the initial trigger was anti-feudal or anti-lord riots in cities along the Rhine and in Lombardy in northern Italy, where bishops and archbishops were city lords, and the initiative for this movement was mainly taken by associations of distant merchants north of the Alps. As mentioned above, distant merchants had already appeared in various places in the second half of the 10th century and began to operate in an organized manner, creating special settlement areas called Wiks in advantageous locations near burgs and churches under the protection of feudal lords.

[市民身分と市民意識]
 中世都市がこのような自治を確立し,〈市民(ビュルガーBürger,シティズンcitizen)〉というまったく新しい社会階層を構成メンバーとする共同体となる経緯は,地域により時代によってまちまちであるが,その最初のきっかけをなしたのは,司教,大司教を都市領主とするライン川沿岸ならびに北イタリアのロンバルディア諸都市における反封建的または反領主的な暴動であり,その運動のイニシアティブをとったのは,アルプス以北にあってはもっぱら遠隔地商人の団体であった。遠隔地商人は前述のようにすでに10世紀の後半から各地に現れて組織的な活動を始め,封建領主の保護下に,ブルクや教会の近傍にある地の利を得たところにウィクWikと呼ばれる特殊な定住区をつくり出していた。…
