Puke

Puking is the name of an extinct profession. Kotzen makers wove the so-called Kotze (Old High German: chozzo, chozza ) in Austria and the or the puke (shaggy woolen stuff, a rough wool blanket or clothes thereof).

On February 23, 1496, the Viennese puke makers received a handicraft regulation according to which they had united in a colliery . This order regulated the piece wages of journeymen, the wages for processing the wool and for tearing the puke. Mayors and city councilors stipulated that the puke was allowed to be sold in certain places and that the puke must all be the same length and width. After the inspection, the goods were weighted (provided with lead seals).

The first written mention of this profession is not clear. In the Viennese city accounts from 1368 to 1403 there is an entry by a citizen "Ott. Choczenmacher bei Werdertor", published in a supplement to the "Archive for customer Austrian historical sources " from 1855. According to other interpretations of the word cherzenmacher (candle maker) or choczenmacher to be read; the next mention of puke makers appears again in the citizen lists from 1471.

Not only in Vienna, but also in Hungary , Transylvania and Bukovina were puke makers who made coarse, woolen blankets with red-white-green stripes for beds or horses.
