The honest strangers two different pits (combinations) of associate on roll called. , Unfortunately even by some itinerant tradesmen, the "society of the honest strange carpenter and Schieferdeckergesellen" is falsely set often with the "society of the honest strange bricklayer and Steinhauergesellen" directly. The two pits cooperate more closely with one another than other pits, e.g. in the harsh suppl. nature, nevertheless give it substantial differences and autonomous structures.

The society of the honest strange carpenter and Schieferdeckergesellen takes, like the name to already suspect leaves open, primarily associates the occupations of timber construction (carpenter, carpenter, roofer, Holzbildhauer, etc.). In terms of figures represents this pit with 150 to 170 travelers the largest group at travelers pit-associates to that altogether to about 600 to 800 travelers (number of free travelers here however with difficulty visiblly).

The society of the honest strange bricklayer and Steinhauergesellen is the only pit, in which no wood trades travel. Here occupations, which in the close as in the broadest sense with stone, to do took up minerals and metal (stone-cutters, bricklayers, Schmiede, Stukkateure, fitters, plumbers, furnace farmer, garden and landscape farmer, Fliesenleger, etc.). Since constantly new occupations develop and become extinct others, this enumerating should not be regarded as absolute. The number of the travelers of this pit moves between 20 and 30.

Thing in common of both pits is among other things that only men are accepted, them for itself in requirement takes, to be which oldest traveler combination and that the members carry a black respectableness (guild tie). The rules and customs differ from each other.

In each case the common color of the respectableness is therefore possible, there one the carriers according to their trade (recognizable from gap color and/or handicraft needle) their pit to assign can.

Other pits carry e.g. red, grey or blue respectablenesses, accommodate other trades and have other rules, which concerns the admission of women.
