Sportel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sports claim for unauthorized religious gatherings of Baptists (Oldenburg in Oldbg. 1837)

The sportel (plural sport; from Latin sportula , gift, actually basket) was originally the fee that subjects had to pay for judicial acts or other official acts . For a long time they were left in whole or in part to the civil servants . Sports were part of the emoluments and can therefore be regarded as the oldest monetary component of the salary .

This pay system was subject to the principle that the office and thus the residents of the area had to maintain the officials .

In some places in Switzerland , the judicial and debt enforcement system is entrusted to people who are not employed as wage earners, but are paid with sports. A bankruptcy for this is excluded.
