ArchivesRe: But what does SPIELDENNER mean? (nt)
in reply to a message by Jim Youung
SPIELDIENER is a good one! Grimm has: "die knaben wurden sogleich ergriffen, von ihren spieldienern und erziehern abgesondert." Sagen 431
"The boys were seized at once and separated by their spieldieners and educators (or: teachers)." So a spieldiener would have been something like a private playing tutor?
