Flurzwang

The term was understood hallway forced an agreement or a forced requirement either by the municipality, the totality of the owner or the relevant landlord for editing the individual parcels within the three-field system. The hallway was forced from the late Middle Ages to about the middle of the 19th century, locally even much longer. He was a reaction to the consequences of the real division, the dispersion of land ownership across the entire field mark, in the conflict situation.

Grounds

No farmer or land owner should get an advantage by earning early or cultivated products other than agreed. In addition, we wanted to avoid the hallway forced agreements so-called corridor damage caused by foot traffic or even driving over the fields. Also, theft of vegetables and other crops, it should be prevented. For corridor forced counted also that each plot owner in the course of development had to cede land for roads. Fenced fields were excluded from the hallway forced. On these special crops could be created, as was the case for example of vines. However, those who designed such special crops, had to pay a compensation to the others.

Obligations

Each farmer was obliged to remain within the limits of the three-field system of crop rotation and the prearranged prearranged time work, such as plowing, sowing and harvesting. Often would otherwise at harvest neighboring fields must be run over by the car to go on his own field. This order no one could resist. The chairman of a farmers' cooperative or a village who had to monitor the corridor constraint, called Schulze.

End of the hallway forced

With the introduction of clover cultivation and later the beet and potato industry forced the hallway was questionable for the affected landowners. At the time of emancipation, the time from about 1803 took place in Germany, Switzerland and Austria as a result of the French Revolution to 1850, he was finally abolished.
