Reply to: Re: Kruttschnitt by Andy ;—)
I was thinking along the same lines, Andy. There is a word "Krautschnitt", which appears to be an agricultural term, something to do with pruning. My knowledge of German is virtually nil, but you may find out more if you do a wordsearch on Krautschnitt.
The rare surname Krutschnitt is mainly South German (Bavarian?), so Krutt may be a dialect form of Kraut.
