Originally, they are simple primitive scribe symbols related to the stonemason, traceable back to pre-historic and prehistoric times. House brands show the clear family assignment. Initially used as a property or property mark, they were passed on within the respective family and became symbolic of this family or clan. These house brands were for a whole house. The symbol was also recognizable without reading. The individual persons who belong to the house personalize this house brand with a small addition. House brands were used as property marks (yard marks) on movable and immovable equipment in house and yard. They were particularly necessary for fishermen to mark pots, nets and other accessories that were often shared. On Hiddensee the private labels still had legal character in 1976. The house stamps had and have predominantly linear shapes and also special designations, e.g. &#039;Spadn&#039; (spade) or &#039;Hahnenfaut mit&#039;n Knäwel&#039; (buttercup with a gag). Private labels are not personal, but as the name says home-bound, even when sold to strangers or inheritance on sidelines they remained and legally effective. Sometimes the new owner scratched an extra line in the sign.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
