Bauer Bei Der Feldarbeit. Der Besitz des Bauern hiess im Mittelalter Hufe: urspr das fur eine Familie berechnete; mit Pflug und Gespann bestellbare Ackerland nebst Haus; Hof; Garten und dem Anteil an der Gemeindeweide. Die Feldabschnitte hiessen Gewannen; deren schmale Handtuchform noch bis heute erhalten ist. Ihre Bestellung unterstand dem sogen Flurzwang. Translation: Farmer at Field Work. In the Middle Ages; the property of the farmer was called hooves: originally the farmland calculated for a family; which could be tilled with a plow and a horse-drawn carriage; together with a house; yard; garden and a share of the common pasture. The field sections were called Gewann; whose narrow towel shape has been preserved to this day. Your order was subject to the so-called hallway compulsion.
