Kackerterhaff is a small Hamlet and farm, near the E29 main road and Moutfort in the Commune of Contern in Luxembourg.[1][2][3] It is only located on a small trail and no vehicles besides ones using the farm and used by residents are permitted to use it.

Etymology

[edit]

In modern times, Kackerterhaff is usually called just that although the German name Kackerterhof is also used, particularly on road signage. In the 18th to 19th century however the settlement was often called Kackerd or Kackert. All the names however were etymologised to have something to do with a farm or farming, which was by no coincidence most of what Kackerterhaff was used for in the past and what it is used for today. There is no French name for the hamlet unlike what was used for larger settlements and everyone today either uses the German or Luxembourgish name for the settlement. The difference is spelling between Kackerd and Kackert could have been a discrepancy between documents describing the town however it is uncertain.[4]

History

[edit]

The 1766 Census showed a settlement under the name of Kackerd in the Parish of Oetrange on the site of modern day Kackerterhaff. The Census recorded there being 2 households containing 9 Residents.[5] One of the Homes, designated "Household #20" was the residence of the Erpeldingen Family.[4][6] The Family remained in the village through to the 1790s when some of the children whom had previously resided there had children of their own.[4][7] They were the last remaining members of their family to remain their after their parents died in 1774 and 1779.[4][8][9] In the end there were 7 children all of which lived long enough to grow up and leave the farm for other areas.[4] At one point in 1779 Jean Erpelding, Nicholas' older brother took control over the farm, it was hear where it was first recorded by the modern day name of Kackerterhaff. From shortly after that there is a lack of information of what happened in the area prior to the late 1790. However it is known that Nicholas and his wife still resided there and had a 4th child. The birth date is unknown but was almost certainly in 1795 and the baptism hapened in December 1795.[4][10] Over the following years Nicholas and Magdalena were regarded as the operators of Kackerterhaff, then refered to as Kackert, they had 2 more kids prior to the turn of the Century and the 6th child was given the exact same name as the 4th child despite the fact that she was still alive and resided in the same location.[4][11][12]

Natural Geography

[edit]
[edit]

The Main street which Kackerterhaff sits atop is unnamed however the section which runs through the settlement is designated Track: 775949235.[13] This section of the track is where the Contern Dressage Centre, and most of the large farm buildings in the settlement are located. The full track runs off of Route de Remich in the south of Éitermillen near Moutfort. On the opposite side of route de Remich is another, smaller track designated Path:233103549 which links to other areas of Éitermillen on Rue de Moulin.[14] The area of the street which diverges in Éitermillen is designated Track: 233103558, the designation which applies all the way to the outskirts of the settlement.[15] To the north of Kackerterhaff the track becomes a smaller path, which runs right back to Route de Remich, this segment is designated Path: 775624035.[15] Linking Track: 775949235 and Track:233103558 is a small path designated Path: 1031828894.[16] The entire road is unpaved and is a very low quality road all sections from where Track: 233103558 diverges from Route de Remich to where Track: 775949235 meets Path:775624035 is all grade 2 while Path:77564035 is grade 4. The entire track is filled with inclines and declines with Track: 775949235 in particular running very steep upwards to the north of Kackerterhaff.[13]
