Floor plans of farmhouses with pesel

Pesel (süddithmarsisch Pisel , Old Frisian pisel , medium high German phiesel heatable women's apartment, factory Gaden from medium latin pisales , French poêle , poile is furnace facility) is actually the most rear end of the dithmarsischen farmhouse, the input of the Grotdel, opposite room, usually without an oven and with a Door to the garden. According to other sources, Pesel is the name for the parlor of the Geesthardenhäuser and the Haubarg . This type of farm is mainly found in the north and west coast of Schleswig-Holstein , on the islands and on the Halligen .

The pesel was only used on special occasions (parties, visits) and therefore there was also the kebab used as a daily lounge . In contrast to the kebab, which could be heated with a bilegger , the unheated pesel was considered 'cold splendor'.

Examples of Pesel can be found on Hallig Hooge ( Königspesel ), in the Heinrich Sauermann House on the Museumsberg Flensburg , in the Dithmarscher Landesmuseum Meldorf, in the Altonaer Museum , in the Schleswig-Holstein open-air museum near Kiel and in the Ostenfeld farmhouse in Husum .
