A basket is usually from wooden, flexible material twisted containers to the transport and camps of loads or material. In the car also humans are carried.

Material

Baskets or basket goods are networks from rods, branches, split wood, Rattan, bamboo, Esparto, reed or palm sheet ribs. The material to basket lichens are branches of pasture of particularly for this purpose cultivated Korbweiden.

Processing

The one year's which is peeled or processed unpeeled, is cut annually at a value of 1 - 1.5 m. If one wants to peel it, then one pulls her in the fresh condition by flexible wooden or iron pliers (clamp) and replaces then the burst crust. After the peeling the rods at air and sun are as fast as possible dried. Too completely fine work splits one the rods into 3 or 4 rails. This happens with the reisser, a somewhat conically gedrechselten piece of hard wood, which is so low-cut from the center to to the upper thin end the fact that it 3 or 4 wedge-shaped as jets of a center forms running out cuts. The rod is set in such a way at the thick end with the Schnitzer cut, the reisser on the rod that its wedges occur on average, and to to the andre end away-pushed. For the conversion of the three-lateral pieces of gap into smooth rails one pulls it repeated by the Korbmacherhobel and then by the narrow, in order to cut the Seitenkanten and to make all rails equivalent broad.

Basket lichens

When twisting one manufactures first the soil of the basket and then the side panels. This happens on a simple rack, which machine, on which the soil is fastened. Angular baskets are twisted over wooden forms. Common is also the production of the splinter baskets from bind-like, split fir wood and the coke baskets from berindetem fir wood and Weidenruten. Feinern the baskets are bleached, painted, colored, bronziert or gilded in former times also frequently.

Basket goods

The Korbflechterei covers the most diverse forms of baskets. In addition exist furniture, buggies, Leuchter, Bilderrahmen and numerous Galanteriewaren. The basket goods production understood in becoming extinct was resident in Germany in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Dresden, in the in Bamberg and in Schmalkalden. They supplied particularly finer basket goods. The head office of the basket goods industry working for the export was in the area of the upper Main, with Coburg, with light rock and in the Fichtelgebirge. In the ore mountains (louder with Schwarzenberg) splinter baskets were particularly manufactured.

Worth knowing

Often blind ones were instructed in the Korbflechterei, in order to make thereby in special homesteads their contribution to living costs.
In light rock at the Main there is a technical school for Korbflechterei.
In Hilfarth in the circle Heinsberg exists a Korbmachermuseum.
In Michelau with light rock a Korbflechtermuseum exists.

Car

The under the hot-air balloons is in the majority this very day from twisted basket material. On the one hand they are thereby very easily and on the other hand deform them by the elasticity with the landing and break not directly divide. Thus one can again start. Cars can take up up to 16 persons.

Idioms

The saying "a basket gotten "means that someone is rejected with a dear or a proposal. The idiom has its origin in the following medieval custom: Ms umworbenes of a suitor pulled these frequently after the request in a basket to the window up. Their ablehende attitude could make clear for it, by leaving a basket down, whose soil was loosened to it. This broke with the Heraufziehen. Later from it a custom developed with which Ms handed a small basket without soil to the suitor over, in order to show it their dislike.

The idiom "husch, husch in the ", with which one wants to bring children fast in the bed, refers thereby to the dog basket in which a house dog sleeps.

Likewise from the animal realm the expression comes "cock in the basket ", which refers to a man, who is in predominantly female society. Since in the chicken house or in the basket, in which the chickens were carried to the market, usually only one cock was, developed this idiom.
