 This was usually entered via the great, rounded door at the gable end, known in Low German as the "Grote Dör", "Groot Dör" or "Grotendör" ("great door").The door was also the entrance for harvest wagons leading to the "Diele" which was like a cavernous hall, hence the alternative name for this type of farmhouse, the "Hallenhaus" ("hall house").The "Diele" was formed by the space between the two rows of supporting uprights.
