Besessene Mann
A ''Hufner'', also spelt ''Hüfner'', was a farmer in medieval Europe who managed one or more oxgangs (German: ''Hufe'') as his own property. The actual names of these members of the farming community varied from region to region. In the Low Saxon dialect region the term ''Hovener'' or ''Hofener'' was used, in the Central German region they were mainly known as ''Hufner'' or ''Hüfner'' and in the Upper German region as ''Huber''. In many areas, completely different names were also used, such as ''Ackermann'', ''Pferdner'' or, in the Upper Saxon region, even ''besessene Mann'' or ''besessene Männer''. (Note: ''Pferdner'' actually refers to a similar type of farmer who owned and managed one or more horse teams (''pferdegespannen''). This may be regional, as the name appears more rarely than the variants of ''Hufner''.) The ''Hufner'' was a full member of the community of farmers; he had a say in that community and was allowed to use the commons. In the social hierarchy of the vill ...
