“Ordinance” issued by the Austrian Government [Archduchy of Austria; Present-day Austria]: “Jews are prohibited from dawdling (‘Trödeln’)* […]” [Researcher’s note: Even though the word “Trödeln” by itself is mainly (and exclusively) associated in modern German with the act of dawdling and roaming around without an aim, in the past it was often associated with the act of roaming around with the intent of selling knick-knacks, which is why there are still words like “Trödelhandel” (wandering around and trading with small items) and “Trödelmarkt” (similar to our modern flea-market) that exist in modern German.]
