Pliesterer
The Pliesterer , in the Rhineland and in the Eifel also Klätscher called, is a dying out crafting skill .
In a half-timbered house the Pliesterer had with Staken (z. B. oak billets), rind crate or wattle filled compartments to throw with the Klätschlehm ( klaiben ). The clay used for this was also known regionally as clay or Weller . To apply the clay, the pliesterers would occasionally hang themselves on the woven walls. Therefore, they were with the nest-building martins compared.
The clay, which was often cut on common land , was mixed with chaff , litter or straw , among other things . The pliester appeared at the building with a "clapboard" and a folding rule. First, he paved the outer walls of the clay building . Ideally, these had already dried out before the interior walls were paved.
On July 1, 1906, the central association of plasterers, plasterers, pliesterers and their relatives in Germany was founded in Berlin . It is not known when it was dissolved.
