Fudder stick

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The load of floor was a Bavarian-Austrian Salzmaß for form salt , the cartload . Named after the salt form in which from the Salzsiedepfanne holding the residual moisture salt was taken with the Bärschaufel loose and then the successful blade (flat wooden plate of 1 foot was in the square wooden stick), smoothed. Three such fudge sticks were then placed in the wooden bear trough for about 2 hours to bear and the mother liquor could then drain from the open tip. After paving (drying with heat in a paving oven), the shape, appearance and quantity were corrected with the powder polishing shovel and scraper. The fuderstick should always have the same weight because of price and taxes. The headstock lost about 15 to 20 pounds on drying , so the dry weight was about 115 to 120 pounds.

Different shapes

In Aussee the fuderstick was truncated pyramidal and was also called fuderle . The barring scoop was used in Bad Aussee (iron scoop measuring 28 inches long by 18 inches wide). The body of salt was about 31.9 pounds (Wiener).

In Hallein and Hallstadt the fudersticks consisted of three barrel hoops held together as nine-sided pyramids made of barrel staves with an open tip. The dimensions were about 11 inches at the top and 7 inches at the bottom and had a clear height of 16 inches. To bear out in Hallein, also known as Ausfassen, the Ausfassschaufel was used (wooden iron-shod, 34 inches long, 19 inches at the back and 16 inches at the front, wooden handle 4 ½ feet )

The attempt to convert fuderstock into slices of salt is only possible to a limited extent. Depending on the saltworks , a slice of salt was 130 to 148 pounds in mass.

  • In 1798: 1 Halleiner Fuderstock = 115 pounds = 114 pounds (Bavarian) = 118 pounds (Ulmer) = 56 kilograms

Different weights

  • From 1784 in Bavaria instead of slices of salt: 1 fuderstock = 120 pounds (Bavarian)
  • Hallein 1 headstock = 115 pounds
    • Hallein 2 fudge sticks = 1 hem
  • Schellenberg 1 fuderstick = 106 pounds
    • Schellenberg 2 fudge sticks = 1 hem
  • Reichenhall 1 fudge stick = 54 pounds
  • Frauenreut 3 fudge sticks = 1 hem

Hem here is the load capacity of the pack horses with about 250 pounds

  • 1 Mukentfuder = 14 hem
