!!!Weiler, Siedlungsform

Weiler (hamlet), type of small settlement in rural areas, comprises at 
least three, but not more than 10-15 neighbouring houses and 
farmsteads. "Weiler" is something between an Einhof type of 
farmstead and a group settlement. There are many weilers in Austria 
and very often they date back to the early medieval practice of 
acquiring land for settlement by clearing away the trees.
