Dear Heidi,

Verlag des Bibliographischen Instituts, Leipzig 
und Wien, Vierte Auflage, 1885-1892

Seite 476: Bauernlehen bis Bauges, Les

Schlagwörter: Bauernlehen; Bauernmiete; 
Bauernregeln; Bauernrhabarber; Bauernspiele; 
Bauernsprache; Bauernvereine; Bauernwetzel; 
Bauernzwang; Bauerwitz; Baufluchtlinie; Baugé; 
Baugefangene; Baugenossenschaften; Baugerüste;

(b)  German Wikipedia Encyclopedia

... have a look at the Geschichte paragraph.

Many thanks,
