from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The expression Kamp , regionally also Kämpe , describes a measured piece of land , mainly in northwest Germany and Namibia .

Concept history

Kamp probably comes from the Latin campus for "area", " field ", " corridor " or " level ".

The term Kamp has only been traceable since the year 1100 and in the Middle Ages it was a “buzzword” for every newly acquired field . A camp was often fenced in by hedges or earth walls and was used as pasture or field alternately over several years . The term can be found in field names (e.g. Aukamp , Buschkamp , Denekamp , Eichkamp , Linnenkamp , Marschkamp , Neuer Kamp , Poelchaukamp ). Often times the Kamp had only one owner, then it was customary to name him after its owner. The fight wasTenth-free , free from the stubble pasture and not subject to the field obligation .

Since the 18th century at the latest, Kamp has stood for the plant-growing sites belonging to the forestry operation. In contrast, the place where the plants are grown separately from the forestry operation is referred to as the forest nursery . The forestry operation describes sites as “flying combs” that are only occasionally created and managed for the duration of the production of forest plants for the purpose of forest renewal. The area of ​​the camp counts to the economic area of ​​the forest enterprise.
