Lippische Ziegler - Datenbank und Archivalien online

Im 19. Jahrhundert verließen bis zu 40% aller männlichen Erwerbstätigen in jedem Frühjahr das Fürstentum Lippe. Bis zum Herbst arbeiteten sie im Norden Deutschlands, in den Niederlanden, in Skandinavien und Osteuropa auf Ziegeleien. Die saisonale Wanderarbeit der lippischen Ziegler geht bis in das 17. Jahrhundert zurück. Die Verwaltung des Fürstentums Lippe registrierte sie in allen Einzelheiten. Für die Jahre von 1778 bis 1869 gibt es im Landesarchiv Nordrhein-Westfalen (LAV NRW), Abteilung Ostwestfalen-Lippe, in Detmold über 100.000 Daten zu mehr als 30.000 Zieglern.
