In most of Germany, farming was handled by tenant farmers
In Germany, peasants continued to center their lives in the village well into the 19th century. They belonged to a corporate body and helped to manage the community resources and to monitor community life.[6] In the East they had the status of serfs bound permanently to parcels of land. Japan.jpg In most of Germany, farming was handled by tenant farmers who paid rents and obligatory services to the landlord - typically a nobleman.[7] Peasant leaders supervised the fields and ditches and grazing rights, maintained public order and morals, and supported a village court which handled minor offenses. Inside the family the patriarch made all the decisions, and tried to arrange advantageous marriages for his children. Much of the villages' communal life centered around church services and holy days. In Prussia, the peasants drew lots to choose conscripts required by the army. The noblemen handled external relationships and politics for the villages under their control, and were not typically involved in daily activities or decisions.[8]
