small country estate Explanation: According to the first of the two following refs., ein Söldengütlein is a small country estate. The second one might be worth a look as it contains a lot of historical information as to wages for day laborers, prices, weights and measures, etc. Ein Hinweis auf Eyb-Besitz stammt vom 22. 07. 1467, als Heinrich Geuder aus Nürnberg ein Gütlein zu Wicklesgreuth an Hans von Eyb zu Vestenberg verkaufte; fünf Jahre später (27. 08. 1472) ist ein Söldengütlein (= kleines ländliches Anwesen) im Eyb-Besitz nachgewiesen; am 14. 01. 1482 verkauft Endres Scheppach aus Nürnberg sein Wicklesgreuther Eigengut ebenfalls an Hans von Eyb zu Vestenberg; das am 25. 02. 1537 genannte Söldengütlein könnte identisch sein mit dem 1472 genannten Besitz. www.wicklesgreuth.de/html/hauptteil_geschichtliches.html 1 Söldengütlein 5-8 Morgen www.heinle-web.de/maase.htm Hope this helps a bit! |
