Wannenmacherurkunde von 1645

For centuries, the trade of making Wannen influenced the economical life of Emsdetten. The prince-bishop of Münster, as sovereign, granted the Wannen maker of Emsdetten the monopole position within the diocese of Münster. A guild rule, dating back to the 16th century, forbade persons who did not live in Emsdetten to take up this trade. Further important points of this guild rule were to ensure a sufficient income for the Wannenmacher by limiting the number of apprentices; ensuring the quality of the Wannen by the laid-down apprenticeship and the manufacture of a “master piece”; the mediation of internal disputes referring to the cutting of the willows and the sale of the Wannen.

The knowledge and terms of the making of the Wannen were past down verbally from generation to generation. Many terms for the different parts of the Wanne, the tools and the working process are stilled used today when speaking dialect.
