Wildhube
In the Middle Ages, Wildhube (also Forsthube ) referred to a special form of the Hube (hoof) , namely a farm or an estate whose owner - the Huebner - had been given the obligation to uphold the imperial or royal hunting rights . See also belonged Hege Game and the care of the forest.
For example, in the area of the Dreieich Wildbannes, thirty Wildhuben were set up in the early Middle Ages, some of which became the core cells of later villages. As a duty of the Wildhübner it is handed down that everyone had to build a house, barn and dog stable on his Hube. For the occasional overnight stay of the emperor in the Wildhube, he also had to provide enough wheat straw. In return, Huebner was entitled to the remains of the imperial table - food for him and his people for at least eight days. Wildhuben were given as fiefdoms , property was inheritable ( hereditary foresters ).
For the Nuremberg Reichswald, for example, there are documentary mentions from 1331 that the forester lived in such hubs. When the Reichswald was handed over to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 , there were still 13 hereditary foresters, the last was abolished in 1836.
