Half farmer in the Middle Ages and into the modern times of the owners or leaning taker of a farmstead one called, which had an area of arable land from approximately half stroke to the order.

With this yield measure - which corresponded depending upon region a square measure from five to twelve hectares - a family could come through scarcely. They hired themselves the remaining work time frequently with larger farmer (complete farmer, Huber) or with the basic rule.

Still smaller land managing in the South German linguistic area were called as follows:

• Lodging (under stroke) with sheep or goat instead of cattle; otherwise
• Quarterly farmer to stroke), always additional supplementary income
• (under stroke); the inhabitants such "Keu" hired themselves e.g. as farmhands and were allowed into the farmer conditions do not in-marry
• Zulehner, if managed properties did not have a building.

Many of these designations, which read in Northern Germany partly differently, are received until today in our surnames: Halbgebauer, large, Huber, Hueber, Huemer, Zulehner etc.
