Stockgut
Stockgut (Vogtei, Schaffgut) refers to farms in the Eifel and its surroundings that are subject to special law.
These farms were of the respective landlords, for example, in the case Oberkail by the Counts Manderscheid-Oberkail as Erb loans to the to 1782 serf given farmers. The farmers were not allowed to share, borrow or sell the property. In the event of inheritance, the fiefdom went to one child (son or daughter), usually to the eldest ( primogeniture ), in accordance with the inheritance law .
The estate belonged to the landlord and the farmer acted as administrator of the estate. If the stock farmers did not meet their obligations ( tithe and compulsory labor ), they could be "borrowed" without compensation.
In Luxembourg, the term Vogtei was used for stocks of goods.
