Miners

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In rural areas , people referred to as farmers or cultivators who joined the village community from around 1830 and owned a house with land but no agricultural land of their own . They were not authorized to use the commons . The only difference between the miners and the cultivators was the origin of their land. Miners settled on private land. Growers established their place on land that was common property .

The dismantling and cultivators were at the lower end of the village social structure . Their settlement had to be approved by the Domanialkammer and the municipality . Since they had no land of their own, they could not earn a living from farming . They worked as craftsmen , peddlers , traders or farm workers .
