[Cz-L] Inside courts.

http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/blinderpix-2/dsc03487.jpg

Most houses of old Cz had inside courts.
  Theses were houses built by the Austrians 200 years ago.
    At nightfall the gate to the street was locked.
     To protect the inhabitants frrom the street where mischief ruled.
     All kind of wrongdoers where roaming the street.
   If you could avoid it, you better stay home.
     Behind a locked gate.
       There were also evil spirits on the loose.
         You could hear dogs or wolves howling.
       Or the clopping of hooves.
      And you pull your quilt over your head ,
 just today you read the " Erlkoenig" from the forests of Germany..
            Brrrrr...
