At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, a deer was understood to be a trained tailor who was employed by a master for wages and bread (board and lodging), but did not work in his workshop due to lack of space .

Instead, he made workpieces for his master in the workshop of another master using the equipment ( sewing machine , ironing table , ironing oven , iron , etc.) and tools ( angle , ironing cloth , tutu , etc.) of his caretaker. At that time journeymen (South German assistants) differed from workers in that they worked with their own tools ( scissors , sewing ring ). This tool was taken with them on their journeys by the journeymen and was their personal property . The master paid the caretaker a fee for placing a stag under it.

With the Second World War the deer disappeared. This type of employment was mostly widespread in cities and its necessity arose from the relatively high rents , especially in multi-storey businesses , which, like the number of journeymen, could not be adjusted to the order situation.
