The Wiede , also called the Wiedel , is a twisted branch made of plant material from which ribbons or ropes are woven.
description
The Wiede is a twisted branch made of plant material, from which ribbons are woven or which is used, for example, to cover a thatched roof . They consist of hazel , willow or bird cherry or also of ash, fir and spruce trunks and are very resilient.
To make wied, the trunks were soaked in water and heated ("bahed") in four to five meter long bahing or reed ovens. Then they were turned into Wieden in the hot state at Wiedstöcken and formed into wreaths.
Wieden in Wiedlöchern were used in rafting to tie in rafts.
Grimm's dictionary lists many other uses of the Wiede, including as a rope for execution, as a fetter, for sheaf binding and bundling wood, for doors instead of hinges or instead of bolts, for tying shoes and tying plants (e.g. grapevines).
The term is used in connection with plant names for:
- The hemp or osier salix viminalis , variant vitellina
- Dyer's woof, yellow cabbage, reseda luteola
- Woolly snowball , viburnum lantana
etymology
The word wiede developed from Old High German witta , which means band or ribbon, from Middle High German wide for twisted cord and ribbon. The name for the tree willow is derived from the same trunk. The basis is the Indo-European root * uieH- , which was used in the sense of turning or bending, which was transferred to flexible branches or wattle.
