- ↑ In Diesterweg's Rheinische Blätter (1850s) such places are also described as meeting places , at that time attempts were probably made to establish a continuity with Germanic Thing places: “The local administration of the rural communities was previously based on the Soest magistrate . In every village one of the peasants was elected head or judge. Should the community meet to discuss common matters, the 'farmer's horn' was blown and the meeting place was a mound on which a stone table and bench stood under a linden tree [note: Femlinde] . This assembly and town hall was called Tig (Lower Saxony. Tie or Tih, old. Zieh - the word probably belongs to Gothic teihan, report, say, announce, and draw). Such a tig can still be seen in almost every village. "
