Rotte (settlement)
When composting is known in particular in Austria , a residential development consisting of a few buildings there in a casual arrangement, larger than a wasteland , less structured than a hamlet , but more compact than scattered sites . In some regions of Germany the term Rotte or Rott was or is also used as a summary of several localities, courtyards or living spaces.
term
Traditionally in Austria “3 to 9 buildings in close proximity” are called hamlets , “Buildings in a loose arrangement regardless of the number” are a group . With an even looser structure, Statistics Austria (STAT) speaks of “ scattered houses ” in the place directory . The terms refer to old, more or less rural settlement areas. Younger settlements are referred to as a group of houses .
In Vorarlberg, the word parcel is used instead of rotte .
The term Rotte was also common in parts of the Rhineland , especially in the Bergisches Land , in the early modern period up to the middle of the 19th century , and referred to several scattered villages, courtyards and living spaces within a municipality or a parish. Most of the ranks, which were formed in the 17th century, were often headed by a rotting master . Rotten in the Rhineland, here especially in the Düsseldorf administrative region , are occupied in the cities and parishes of Elberfeld , Barmen , Kronenberg , Ronsdorf , Remscheid , Werden bei Essen, and chapels near Geldern.
In East Friesland , the term Rott was used in a similar way as a subdivision within communities , parishes or farmers . The city of Norden , for example, was divided into four rifts and 16 rotts. In the offices of Norden and Berum , the Rotts were subdivided into a bailiwick , because the Westermarsch (North Office) and the Easter March (Berum Office) each consisted of 8 Rotts. At the same time, the Rotts also formed parts of individual parishes in the Berum office, of which Hage was divided into eleven, Nesse into eight and Arle into six Rotts.
etymology
Rottenberg is to medieval Latin rupta , crowd scattered '(to lat. Rumpere , tear'). The same etymology applies to the military group as well as to the group in the hunter's language ( pack of wild boars ) and the meaning “group of conifers in the protective forest ”.
Rotte also occurs as part of place names, for example in Rottendorf , Rottenhof , Rottenhaus , Rotterberg , Rottenlehen , Rottenpoint . Etymologically, in these cases there is usually a clearing name . However, this derivation does not always apply. In Rottersham (in Bavarian -ham 'home') a personal name is likely to originate from Rotter . In the unclear Rottenmann , a connection with Middle High German red for 'swamp' is also conceivable.
