Filing (shipping)
In shipping, filing refers to a stacking and storage area where, for example, coal (e.g. in Ruhrort ), wood or grain was placed ready for onward transport by ship or ships coming from the sea were unloaded (e.g. on the Ems in stop at Weener ). Cologne was a large storage area for the transshipment from Oberland to Lower Rhine sailors and vice versa. The filing of the town of Pritzerbe an der Havel , founded 1050 years ago, is probably very old . Hankel's filing at Zeuthen an der Dahme is known from the literature . Stacking areas often had no quay wall and were therefore suitable for landing both larger and smaller ships on the beach.
Collection points for flotsam were also referred to as filing. If the shelf was no longer needed for its original purpose, it was not uncommon for the beach location to create public bathing areas, such as B. the Bürgerablage in Berlin.
Often cities with a shelf had a stacking right . With this right, all shiploads that passed the city had to be offered for sale for several days.
