Kartierbare

Kartierbare is a term that appears in some historical contexts, particularly related to land division and surveying. It generally refers to a piece of land that has been officially measured, delimited, and recorded. This process, often called "cartiering" or "kartiering," was crucial for establishing clear property boundaries and ownership rights. The resulting "kartierbare" land would have been marked with physical boundary stones or other markers, and its dimensions and characteristics documented in official records.

The practice of kartiering was common in many European countries, especially during periods of feudalism and the subsequent development of more formalized land ownership systems. It allowed for taxation, inheritance, and the transfer of land to be conducted with greater certainty. The term itself likely derives from the French word "quartier," meaning quarter or district, suggesting a division of larger areas into manageable parcels. While the specific methods and terminology may have varied regionally, the underlying concept of a defined and documented land parcel remained consistent. In modern surveying and land registration, the principles of kartiering are still fundamental, although the technology and legal frameworks have evolved significantly.
