EN: This old wooden liquid manure wagon stans slightly elevated under a porch at the stables of Hof Leuengrund, which is located in a clearing southwest above Pratteln.
These wagons were widespread until well into the 20th century, to take the manure to the fields. This specimen has even a barrel of wood, while later ones were equipped with metal drums. The wagon is in a good condition, even the associated pipes are still attached.
