## Definition

Former levy on the sovereign - by the charcoal burner for permission to produce charcoal (charcoal: a black, porous, carbonaceous material, chiefly consisting of carbon, produced by the destructive distillation of wood) in the manorial forest - for the purchase of charcoal from a charcoal kiln owned by the sovereign. - A tax introduced in Germany in March 1923 amounting to 40 percent of the price of domestically produced or imported coal as a basic amount, from which different partial amounts were levied for the individual types of coal. This tax, which was economically problematic and socially awkward, was abolished in February 1924. - Subsidy for German hard coal included in the electricity price, introduced in Germany from 1975 to 1995. - Until about 1950, a special payment by welfare authorities (social assistance administration) to low-income private households to enable them to heat housing. - See Armengeld, Hochzeitstischgeld, Kindergeld.
