site

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A place , meaning the outdated place or saturation , designates a (stand) place or a place where something is located.

Origin of the word

The term has Indo-European roots and is related to the Latin statio (cf. station), where the verbal root has the meaning "to stand". Initially, the German form “Statt” (from Middle High German stat “place, place”) dominated, from which the spelling “ city ” later developed. Today, this form can essentially only be found in compositions such as “workshop”, “resting place”, “sleeping place”, etc. Ä. In addition, the form of "Stätte" (originated from Middle High German inflected forms of "Statt") increasingly prevailed.

use

According to its meaning, the term “place” can be found in the most varied of contexts in which a certain place or location is described. The place of a burial is referred to as a grave , a religiously significant place as a holy place , a site as an archaeological site or a place where food and drink are sold as a restaurant .

Certain locations also have an institutional or legal significance, such as a teaching facility or a permanent establishment . In Prussian East Westphalia , places (probably short from: Betriebsstätten) were small agricultural businesses that came into being after the brand was divided by the Prussian state from around 1770.

It should not be overlooked that site more generally stands for the gudt or gut des Ravensberger Urbars from 1556. For example, the term Vollmeyerstätte or Halbmeierstätte is used today for sites belonging to the oldest settlement layer , and the term Erbkötterstätte for (smaller) sites established between them or separated from them . Markkötter sites were due to a further increase in population with their dunghill (the Markengut ) in the Commons, Mark founded, mostly at the initiative of landlords with the consent of the rulers , and often to the detriment of Mark comrades before the Thirty Years' War .

Occasionally, a job is needed, as in northern Germany, a land post or a housekeeping post . The court order only knows the term “Hof” or “Hofstelle”.
