Farming - 17th - 18th Centuries

In contrast to today, where every farmer can work his property as he wishes, farmers in earlier times were subject to fixed rules that the community laid down for each individual. The principle of three-field farming made coordinated work inevitable. On the one hand, the basis was a regular change of land use to prevent the total exploitation of the land: Each field was cultivated one year with winter crops (mainly rye and spelt or some wheat) and one year with summer crops (barley or oats). In the third year it lay fallow to recover and served at best as pasture for livestock. Artistic fertilizer was unknown and the manure of the few animals was hardly enough to improve the yield of the gardens. There were no significant changes here until the 18th century, which will be discussed later. An old custom, however, still existed for a long time: that the number of years of lease had to be divisible by three. In order to make this system work in practice, on the other hand, there was extensive land movement. This resulted from the fact that no roads were used at all, so that as much land as possible could be cultivated. Without paths, however, it was necessary to sow and harvest in a well coordinated manner, because this always meant entering land that belonged to others. So not every field was cultivated separately.  (Graben by Konrad Dussel)

Comment: If I have interpreted the father's second occupation correctly as "censor", this not only means censor as we know it, but it could also be interpreted as: reviewer, arbitrator, and even judge.

Note: Christoph Zimmermann is a descendant of Hans Andreas Endris Scholl through his daughter Anna Jacobea Scholl b 1667, Johann Peter Kemm b 1698 and Christina Magdalena Kemm b 1741  who is Christoph Zimmermann's mother. Small world.
