Abstract

During the 18th and 19th century the guilds in Somogy county had developed only slowly because of the lack of cities in the region. The low number of educated baking masters was also based on the fact that the practice of household bread baking remained in existence until the 1960s. Bread baking was made in the 18th and 19th century by seasoned cooksmen and bread specialists. The craftsmen of the markettown Csurgó only got their landlord’s approval for creating a mixed crafts guild in 1810. The bakers and honey-cake makers of this town belonged to the so called ’German’ guild from 1814. They originated mostly from Austria and the Czeh-Moravian region, some of them were German or Slavic craftsmen from other Transdanubian regions. One or two master worked simultanously in Csurgó. They frequently changed, most of them moved on to the guilds of bigger towns. This study on the life in such guilds is mostly based on the official guild lists and financial documents, it even includes a detailed description of a masterpiece bakery product. The later part of the study gives a rewiev of the life of the baker and honey-cake maker masters in the whole county.by the end of the guild area (1869). The study explaines the growth in the number of such craftsmen caused by the urbanisation and the increased marketing possibilities. It also describes the organisations among the growing numbers of tradesmen including the flour tradesmen supporting the examined crafts guildes.
