Berghandlung
A mountain plot was a commercial enterprise of modern times , which as a state enterprise for the respective sovereign one hand, products from the mines sold and on his behalf, on the other hand, the miners had to deliver those products that required them to carry out their activities. Metals in particular were traded - with the exception of precious metals such as silver , which was used to mint the country.
The merchants of the mountain trades were the so-called iron factors , which in Hanover , for example, can be identified using the city's address books until 1855 with the last four known iron factors.
