Bluster

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Plärrer (also Plerrer ) is an old name for a place where in the Middle Ages traders who did not have a concession for the market inside the city walls could trade their goods. The name is derived from the word plerre, plarre , which roughly means "torn bare piece", later "free space". The derivation of mhd. Vlarre “shreds, wide shapeless wound” or plaring “gawk” seems regionally inconsistent.

Corresponding names or parts of names still exist today in Bavaria, especially in Middle Franconia , for places in Bamberg , Bechhofen , Hersbruck , Kaufbeuren (bus station), Neustadt an der Aisch , Nuremberg , Nürnberg-Mögeldorf , Lauf an der Pegnitz , Michelau in Upper Franconia , Oberkotzau , Obernzenn , Schwarzenbruck , Thiersheim , Waischenfeld , Waldeck near Kemnath (local vernacular) and Weißenburg in Bavaria .

After Plärrer in Nuremberg the local was underground station Plärrer , which lies at the place Plärrer skyscraper and the Nuremberg City Magazine Plärrer named.

“Plärrer” has different meanings as the name of a well-known folk festival in Augsburg , where it is derived from the “prayer” (ie screaming ) of the visitors.
