The foreclosure (also for purchase ) was the short purchase or purchase of goods in order to sell them at a higher price to consumers. The ban on grocery shopping was a market compulsion , it prohibited the buying up of goods at weekly markets through middlemen. It gave consumers a right of first refusal on the market.

In order to ensure the supply of the city population with food, for example in Hamburg from the middle of the 18th century farmers and traders were required to offer their goods only in the city and on the markets. Selling at the gates was forbidden, as was buying up by dealers. They were only allowed to buy goods for resale at the end of the market period. Before, there were more and more cases in which consumers were prevented from buying and later, after the farmers' stalls were bought empty early on, had to buy the fresh produce at higher prices from a grocer . These also delivered directly to the apartments. In the Upper German area , the same phenomenon was referred to with the term for purchase . Prohibitions on buying prohibited the advance purchase of goods intended for the market for the purpose of hoarding . Corresponding regulations are already attested in the early 15th century, for example in Bolzano .

Under French rule , the middleman was allowed from 1815, but before that it was also less and less persecuted or undermined by bribery .
