Wehrbauer

A Wehrbauer is a German word that means “armed farmer”. Imagine a farmer who also has to protect his farm from danger. He has to be strong and brave to fight off any attackers, but he also has to take care of his crops and animals. It’s like being a superhero farmer!

In the old days in Germany, it was common for farmers to have weapons and fight for their country when needed. They had to be ready to defend their land and their people.

So, a Wehrbauer is a farmer who is also a warrior. He is someone who can be counted on to protect his land and the people who live on it. It’s important to remember that being a Wehrbauer is not just about fighting, it’s also about taking care of the land and the animals that live on it.
