The first complete Cadastral Survey in Moravia was made between 1655 - 1657. It was called the Lansky rejstrik - Lahnregister, later known as the First Lahn visitatio. In Bohemia the same tax survey was called Berni rolle - the Tax Roll. A revision was completed during the years 1669–1679 to correct inaccuracies and omissions, called the Second Lahn visitatio. | |||
The third Cadastral survey was | The basic tax and land unit was called a Lahn (German) or lán (Czech) and is usually translated as hide in English. A hide in England was considered the basic amount of land necessary to support a peasant family and the exact acreage varied depending on the century. This term also had a broader sense in the Czech lands, as farmers were referred to by how much of a lán they were farming, especially in Moravia. This also reflected their social status in the community. A peasant farmer who had a full lán to farm was referred to as a lánik, A half-hide farmer would be a půláník, and a quarter-hide farmer was a cvrtlánik. | ||
During the reign of Maria Theresia a new Cadastral Survey was made, to account for social and economical development since 1679. The Theresian Cadastre was created 1749–1753. A third Cadastral survey was completed during the reign of her son, Emperor Joseph II, and called the Josephine Cadastre from 1787–1789. The taxable land in this cadastre was broadened to landlords´ possessions, rather than individual peasant farmers. After Joseph II’s death, the Empire reverted back to using the Theresian Cadastre. | |||
The last Cadastral survey was | The last Cadastral survey was the Stable Cadastre, (1817–1851). An evaluation was done of each village for land taxation and a series of cadastral maps was created (Bohemia was mapped 1826-1843, Moravia was mapped 1824-1836). The final Imperial maps (Originální mapy stabilního katastru) were sent to Vienna when they were completed, but the indicative sketches or working copies (Indikační Skici) were kept and updated for a number of years. The official maps are helpful for plot numbers, but do not contain much detail. The indicative sketches are more valuable for genealogy, since they often list the names of the tenant farmers on the plots of land they were farming, along with house numbers and other details. | ||
