But what exactly do the field jury do? This group, often also known as the "seven", has a long tradition in Bavaria and has been compliance with property boundaries for centuries. They make an indispensable contribution in particular in the small -structured property savings of the Bavarian communities, where the voluntary commitment is of great importance. The volunteering, which emerged from the late Middle Ages of marks and fields, still offers important support in the regulation of conflicts about border markings. [Heimat-landkreis-fuerth.de] (https://heimat-landkreis-fuerth.de/blog/ehrensache-ehrenamt-unsere-wehrenstorgungen-die-field sworn) emphasizes that trust in the work of the field sworn is a basis for a peaceful coexistence in the communities.

A look at the story

The role of field chosen has changed over the centuries. Her activities have been occupied in Langenzenn since 1426. Originally, the task was to use natural conditions such as trees or rivers to mark property boundaries. Nowadays, granite boundary stones in particular are used. The introduction of state land survey in 1801 led to a decline in its importance, but they continue to work closely with surveying authorities and continue their tradition.

Currently there are around 24,000 field jurors in Bavaria, of which around CHF 15,500 are located in Franconia. The "seven secret" is particularly noteworthy, which includes secret signs of border marking and is only handled orally. This tradition, which is preserved in the community, still fulfills its purpose today and ensures clarity and peace. [Landkreis-guenzburg.de] (https://www.landkreis-guenzburg.de/ Exemination-fuer-langjaehrige-feld-feld-im-landkreis-Guenzburg/)) explains that the new field-sworn is democratically chosen by their older colleagues, which underlines the peculiarity of this office.

The future of the field jury

The cultural importance of field chosen in Bavaria is not only shown in their legal function, but also in their social activities. Annual border brokers, meetings and further training are an integral part of their tasks. A highlight of the annual calendar is the singing of the "Siebenlied" together, which was created in 1988. This illustrates how much the community holds together and how important the cohesion is among the field jury.

Overall, the honor of Ludwig Lagleder and Konrad Huber reflects a deeply rooted tradition and a strong volunteering, which is still very popular today. With their commitment, they set a sign of the importance of volunteer work in society and offer a role model for the next generation.
