Hutweide
Community
Meadow
The Hutweide was the community
meadow laid aside as pasture for
the purpose of all farm animals
grazing. Farm animal like
the cows would be led up or down
the streets and picked up by the
herders who tended the cows
during the day at the pasture.
In the evening, the cows were
led back into town and found
their own way home, mostly by
themselves. Certain
sections of the pastures were
set aside for pigs as well as
sheep and horses, however on
limited bases. Separate
designated pastures existed for
pork bellies and wool
industries.

Cowhands take care of the cows
for the small farmers of the town during the day, at the commune meadow,
“Hutweide,” since
there were no grazing areas in the towns of the Danube Swabians like here in
Sathmar.
