Gentner (craft)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gentner (or Gantner) is a historical name, documented in the 14th to 16th centuries, especially in Swabia , for the craft of the cooper . It is said to have been derived from Ganter (timbers on which barrels were placed).

Regionally, the previously known documents come from the Lower Swabian region , supplemented by the Schwäbisch Hall and Rothenburg ob der Tauber region .
