## Definition

In earlier times, this was a tax imposed on the propertyless inhabitants of a village (citizens without full political rights; Insten, Einsassen, Inleute), who usually worked as day laborers (Tagner, Tauner, Losmann, Lidl, Diurnist, Diëtarius and Diëist: this always refers to unskilled workers; although craftsmen also sometimes worked for a day wage, they were not called day laborers). In return, they enjoyed personal protection and participation in the facilities of the community. - See Beisassgeld, Geleitgeld, Satisfaktionsgeld, Schirmgeld, Schutzgeld, Toleranzgeld, Vogtgeld.
