I am currently working on a series of maps based on Germany at the start of the 19th Century and have noticed on the map I'm using as a base that several names/words are repeated far to often to be the names of settlements.
I've tried using things like Google translate but I'm not finding them too useful and my schoolboy German isn't too helpful either. I've got a vague idea of what they mean but I can't quite figure out the context to label them correctly.
The words in question are:
"Schaf", which is "sheep",
"Krug" which is "jug",
"ziegel" or "brick?"
"Bohr" or "bore" which could be a well or mine?
"Hagen" which I've absolutely no clue on.
I 'm thinking that "Schaf" is intended to be some kind of sheepfold or farm, ziegl a brickworks and krug some sort of inn.
Has anyone any suggestions for them please? I'd be grateful for any help!
