Single (homestead)

Einzel is a proper name of various farms in northeast Upper Franconia .

The term single (in the dialect: Anzing) characterizes a type of settlement. The name has been handed down for homesteads, for individual settlements or districts .

Examples:

• Single on Kirchenlamitzer Strasse , district of the community Weißdorf , district Hof, Bavaria
• Single at the forest , district of the city of Münchberg , district of Hof, Bavaria
• Singles near Wulmersreuth , district of the municipality Weißdorf , district Hof, Bavaria
• Lower single , district of the city of Münchberg , district of Hof, Bavaria

According to Günther von Geldern-Crispendorf, late medieval settlement as a single farm is characteristic of the region, after which only individual settlers were able to clear parts of the remaining commons in the increasingly densely populated area . Littered settlements with individual farms are a common form of settlement for the local whale pots .
