!!!Bauernstand

Bauernstand (Bauern = peasants/farmers; Stand = Estate): 1) a 
collective name for peasantry  Bauern; 2) a popular name for the 
representative bodies of the "valleys and courts" subject to the local 
prince in the  Landtag in the provinces of Tirol and Vorarlberg, 
sometimes also Salzburg. The fourth "Stand" (Estate) did not, however, 
represent the peasants as a social group, but the court district 
subject to the local prince. Courts under the jurisdiction of noblemen 
or the church (as in Matsch or the courts in Brixen/Bressanone) were 
therefore not represented in the Representative Assemblies. 3) a 
concept used in conservative social analyses indicating the stability 
and constancy of the peasant's/farmers' way of life.
