on the "Reeperbahn" 's own production of ropes, ropes "or" Reepen "as they are called locally always different, now replaced entirely by machine and therefore cost-effective production in the background. The "tools" for self-production, might appear simple but are varied and well thought out for small production volumes or related to fifty years ago to almost every farm had been.
show where Hermann and Hans-Reimer how to make a "Reep" (short rope for tying eg cattle) or "holder" (the driving of animals) called manufactures.
are first four lines hooked into the apparatus between the mounting blocks and bogie.
The strength of the final product can be varied over a single or double lines.
This is with "planetary gear" bogie equipped facilitate the twisting of the cords. I know the nature or bogie of my grandfather, there were two wooden discs with angle hook (for the strings) are connected together and filled without translation (as in the planetary gear) the same function (just a little tedious).
Hermann While the "rotation" is carried out by Hans-Reimer a "slide" is guided between the four strings, that the individual strands do not inadvertently become entangled and thus contribute to the twisting effect would be contrary.
The entire length of the cords (Reep) will be recognized by the rotation of the individual strings to shorter and shorter, arranged here by the movable hanger bracket, the bogie in the direction of "migrates".
After unhooking the ends are "spliced" to thereby prevent a self-dissolving.
receives one end of the Reeps a loop around the mouth of the animals out here later passed, then one only needs the other end behind the ears out of the loop in the neck and down to pull through. Thus, a very simple hold dishes (hence the name "holder") is created and ready to use. Depending on the size of the loop here Reeps or keeper of cows, bulls and calves have been created.
The material is now used by remnants of the baler (now mostly Kunstoffschnüre) and earlier by the straw and baling and won in front of the grain binder strips of sisal.
Dr. Arnold from "
Museum of Archaeology and Ecology in Dithmarschen "from Albers village, in its exhibition -" shown rushes, bark and nettle "on" twisting of raw materials from the pre-and early history ", as the same technique of rope or Reepherstellung in the Stone Age worked. In
several courses could learn this technique under the guidance of Dr. Arnold and Anne Reichert (experimental archaeologist).
