The particuliere landerijen or particuliere landen (Dutch for 'private domains'; singular particuliere landerij or particuliere land), also called tanah partikelir in Indonesian, were landed domains in a feudal system of land tenure used in parts of the Java).[1][2][3][4][5][6] Dutch jurists described these domains as ‘sovereign’ and of comparable legal status to indirectly ruledVorstenlanden [princely states] in the Indies subject to the Dutch Crown.[3] The lord of such a domain was called a Landheer [Dutch for 'landlord'], and by law possessed landsheerlijke rechten or hak-hak ketuanan [seigniorial jurisdiction] over the inhabitants of his domain — jurisdiction exercised elsewhere by the central government.[7][8][5]
