Race tree
Rennebaum (further derivatives: Rennbaum , Rennboem ) is a place and field name common in Westphalia and the Lower Rhine . A racing tree, on the other hand, was a very simple form of a battering ram .
Rennebaum is from the Middle Low German -derived Appellativum that in documents since the 14th century as Ren-bom , race-BOM is occupied. Its meaning is Grenzbaum , i.e. a barrier at a border. In the Middle Low German Dictionary (Volume III) and rên is given with its subsidiary forms ronne , runne , pure as " Ackersaum ", " Rain ", " Grenz ". Bôm is an ancient form of tree ; here the wooden bar of a barrier or a road barrier. Places with this name were often on a border or at a road block that raised customs (customs in the sense of road tolls ).
