Wooden footbridge on the Bünzau in Aukrug

Stegel or Low German Steggelsch are steps to cross a ditch , a fence or a hedge .

The stone or wood steps made it possible to overcome the obstacles set up for livestock farming without animals being able to break out through gates that were left open. In the Hamburger Vier- und Marschlande , paths are called Stegel, which lead from the dykes at right angles away from the water.

history

Before the expansion of the road network and the use of horse-drawn carts and automobiles, people walked many distances and the most direct route across the paddocks was often used to get to the next village, school or church. Kinks , ditches and fences that held the cattle together proved to be obstacles on these frequently traveled paths . The place that people used to climb over, but were insurmountable for the cattle, was called the stegel. These consisted of simple wooden structures or an upright stone slab and several step plates. Over the centuries the stalks disappeared due to land consolidation or cultivation of the fields.

It was developed in the 1950s by Lenchen Kunow and Friedrich Preugschat at the Pedagogical University in Lüneburg and is used in children's gymnastics and in physical education for climbing, gymnastics, balancing, swinging, jumping over or crawling through.
