Strolling
Strolling is a verb for non-purposeful walking, strolling, that is, strolling ; also derogatory in the sense of working slowly or dawdling .
Around 1900 a significant devaluation of the term with the swear word Bummelant began.
During the National Socialist era , workers accused of loitering were in certain cases sanctioned with forced labor and service and threatened with transfer to a concentration camp . An example is the catalog of measures taken by the management of Thyssen-Hütte AG in the Second World War, which provided for a graduated system of sanctions against "strollers".
In the GDR, strolling was punished as anti- social and could be punished with sanctions up to and including the admission to a youth work yard or a forced adoption .
