Though productive farmsteads rested intact on the one hand, descendants were not excluded from the possibility of marrying on the other hand, and this on the background of an economic dynamism of the farms that stands in contrast to the prevailing concept of a straitjacket bound by demography and economy in the "preindustrial mode of population". Instead of a "social sterilisation" there was a downward mobility until eventually the common family origins fell into oblivion, and a clear disassociation by class criteria set in. In the particular case the transfer of the farmstead depended on the actual economic situation, whilst the choice of partners was strongly determined by social and geographical patterns. %C DEU %G de %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
