Panjehaus
Panje houses ( Panje = 'master', derived from pan = 'master') were or are log houses in Eastern Europe. It comes from the soldiers' language of the First World War , when the German soldiers met with the population in Poland and Russia, they added the word Panje to almost every sentence .
“The word actually means 'Lord' and was adopted by our soldiers from the farmers. Whenever they were wounded or wanted to surrender, they shouted, wailing or whimpering: 'Panje, Panje!' And the word then spread to the whole population. Not only was the Russian soldier called 'Russki' or 'Panje' - (e.g., 'Yesterday the Panje wanted to attack') everything related to it was also baptized that way. So panje houses, panje horses, panje wagons, panje children, panje girls and so on. "
