Abstract
Origin and history of hedges in the rural landscape are described in general. Most of them date from prehistoric times, becoming more numerous during the Middle Ages. The maintenance of living hedges, as opposed to fences and walls, is continued in some parts (e.g. Schleswig-Holstein, Westfalia) of northwestern Germany. Here we commonly find lines of trees across fields, evidently originating from hedges. But the clearing of hedges has become widespread, and the growth of hedgerow and pollards in them is now declining rapidly. Many deformed hedgerow trees on systematically planned hedges (especially mound hedges) are still living as relics of an extensive cultivation. Some hedgerow trees give an exemplary picture of network and wickerwork, used as barriers and protection against livestock. Mound hedges with remarkably closely spaced pollarded trees provide many relic trunks for stabilizations as living pales as well as horizontal cambered stems and branches.
