Sporer
A sporer (also spur maker ) was a trader who made spurs . Even though Sporer often also made bits and stirrups , there were also trades bizzer (bitmaker, bitmaker) and stegraiffer (stirrup maker) in the Middle Ages. In addition, Sporer was responsible for the manufacture of curry combs , but in Austria there was also an own profession of curry iron smith. The spurs usually formed a guild with the blacksmiths .
In 1363, for example, there were a total of 19 Bizzer, Sporer and Stegraiffer champions in Nuremberg . In Dresden there was only one guild for all blacksmithing trades up to 1450, with increasing specialization their number increased. In 1600 the existence of a guild consisting of locksmiths, spurs, nail smiths, gunsmiths and watchmakers is proven.
