Wasteland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The desert corridor is the corridor shape of a homestead in a single location. It is the typical characteristic of the scattered settlement in highly fragmented terrain and originally goes back to reclamation .

The wasteland is a parcel that is only determined by the topographical conditions and the economic structure. Typically, it is largely surrounded only by forest and fallow land, it only has markings (planned boundaries) to any neighbors, and there, too, follows the orographic conditions (elevation forms, water limits , etc.). The deserted corridor represents the most original corridor shape and, according to Schindlbauer, “can undoubtedly be described as the ideal shape from the point of view of the internal organization”: It makes optimal use of the existing area for the manager. The Hofstelle or remote area , depending on the terrain in the middle or at the edge of the parcel and shows therein regional typical forms - for example in the inner alpine region, where the valley farmers at the bottom, the slope farmers but residences naturally at half the height of its basis, as long as it allows the terrain.

In the context of possible marriages and inheritance takeovers and realizations , the wasteland is broken up. Special forms are, for example, the double courtyards, which divide a deserted corridor with two courtyard areas (and thus form the nucleus of the hamlet ). In order to prevent this increasing fragmentation, Flurzwänge were introduced in Central Europe as early as the late Middle Ages with the simultaneous transition of the right of inheritance to only one son , and land consolidations were undertaken from the 19th century . Original wastelands have only survived to this day in the peripheral areas of the settlement areas.

However, there are also special forms such as the block-shaped desert corridors and the strip-shaped desert corridors , which represent the transition to the block corridor or strip corridor and can be found where the scattered settlement was more dense than it could have led to pure desert courtyards: These parcels are only partial topographically, but partly already defined purely geodetically by straight lines as possible.
