The laneus or mansus, in German hube or hufe, also joined the set of building elements of the medieval transformation. The inspiration of the Flemish or Frankish hide was also part of the equipment of the colonisation processes, standing at the beginnings of the changes in the composition of the nationalities and in the demographic profile of Central and East Central Europe. They were inextricably accompanied by a wave of economic, technical, and legal organisational innovations. Even in Bohemia and Moravia, knowledge of hide practices were gradually adopted. It peaked in the late 13th and stretched into the 14th century. At the same time, the hide was soon adapted to domestic needs. At a time when greater emphasis was placed on comparability and transferability, as a relatively unified measuring tool, it became a tool to evenly burden the land and squeeze it under rental interest. The hide was usually connected with the transfer of villages and entire estates to Teutonic or emphyteutic law, in other words purkrecht, abbreviated to emphyteusis. Although hide did not become a universal measure in the end and instead branched out into land and regional offshoots, they too maintained a genetic link to the initial term laneus.
