In southern Germany, Schranne is the name given to the grain market or a granary, in Austria historically a court or court building. The name Schranne is originally derived from the Italian word scranna , 'court bank or penalty bank', which also means bank, meat and bread table, warehouse. In Swabian the term is still used today for a beer bench or table.

The Schranne as a court (Thaiding) and court

Until the early 19th century, the Schranne was a Thaiding in the Austrian ( Habsburg Monarchy , Prince Archbishopric Salzburg ) , a village court in the sense of the old Germanic Thing , i.e. the first instance of jurisdiction . Schranne meant both the court itself and the court parish (area of responsibility ). The higher authority was the nursing court (later also the regional court ), as a second instance. Special jurisdictions such as the Hofmark (sovereign local jurisdiction on the part of the landlord) were not subject to the Schrannen .

In Inner Austria ( Styria , Carinthia and Carniola ) the Schrannengericht was the court of the rural nobility, which met under the chairmanship of the provincial governor and was in particular responsible for legal disputes over land and obligations. The Landschrannengericht in Graz has been traceable since 1394 and was only replaced by a newer regional court through the Josephine administrative reforms in 1782.

In Old Bavaria , too , the term Schranne was used synonymously for dish.
