Harxheim field name

1 “IN THE BEAN MORNING”
The local field name “Im Bohnenmorgen” possibly refers to the word Bogen, which can easily become “bohne” in dialect. The corridor the size of an acre is then designated according to the shape of the terrain. However, perhaps beans were actually planted here at some time, which is more than likely given the intensive agricultural use around Harxheim.
