Trattrecht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Often the law of fraternity was a so-called “goat law” that only applied to goats. The Geißenbrunnen in Immenstadt im Allgäu is reminiscent of the former
Immenstadt goat law.

The Trattrecht , Atzungsrecht , Fratzungsrecht or grazing rights ( double. Vaine pâture , ital. Diritto di libero pascolo ) denotes the right cattle to the grain or hay to pasture ( Middle High German tratt ) to drive on foreign goods.

The animals could be driven to the fields for fallow and stubble pasture and to the meadows for autumn and sometimes spring pasture . Until the modernization of agriculture in the 18th and 19th centuries, this right of use was widespread under various names in many regions. In Graubünden the Gemeinatzung (ital. Compascolo ) for the small cattle z. T. received until recently. In the sources the Trattrecht is often along with the paths and crossing rights alliterative as kick and Tratt or drive and Tratt listed.

The right to year-round pasture on communal common lands and forest pastures was also referred to as the right to graze or graze . The right to Gemeinatzung straightened as the transhumance on the number of animals that were wintered with their own food.
