Alte Berufsbezeichungen sind oft sehr spezifisch. Die Bezeichnung Gutsarrendat ist ein zusammengesetztes Wort aus "dem Gut" = (grösserer) Bauernof und dem Arrendat, wie bereits geschrieben ein Pächter. Es handellt sich also um den Pächter eines Bauernhofs, der mit dem Bewirtschaften des Bauernhofs seinen Lebensunterhalt verdient hat.

Arrendat ist ein Pächter ,..evt. der Pächter einer Schankkonzession wenn es sich um einen Beruf handelt (?) würde Ich versuchen es mit "(Schank) Wirt" in modernes Deutsch zu übersetzen Arrendat is a "Pächter" (english: tenant) , it could refere to a innkeeper of a bar / pup . http://books.google.de/books?id=q3Nq8HsYNGcC&pg=RA1-PA42&lpg=RA1-PA42&dq=arrendat&source=bl&ots=YUR1qOlI8c&sig=6hPwT1W0Vn82lfDdSWNzQ29j6v8&hl=de&ei=pnLrSr-vC42N_AbNqKmLDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CAwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=arrendat&f=false

a "Gutsarrendat(or)" is a tenant (/leaseholder) of a manor. But this word you wouldn't use in German language because it's a very antiquated expression. Nowadays you would better use the word "Pächter". But to be a "Pächter" (english: tenant) is not a profession at all. Perhaps there's a slight mistake in the translation and they didn't meant "Baumann" but "Bauherr". To be "Pächter und Bauherr" would mean that you rent some land and build a house or something else on it. But same problem as before... these are no professions. But I don't know, what else could be meant.

Is it the same person, having two professions or responsibilities? "Gutsarrendat. UND Baumann"? "Baumann" is a family name, derived from the profession "Bauer" (farmer /peasant), which is also a family name. So "Baumann" may be a farmer. Someone who is making a living from tilling (anbauen) the fields. "Guts..." means "of a manor (farm)", leading me back to "Gutsherr" (the lord himself), "Gutsverwalter" (his administrator /steward), someone in charge of a "Gut" (a large farm /estate), or a term lost in time. "...arrendat." might be Latin or ancient Italian. Combining elements of German and Latin would have been common in certain times. Later French was... en vogue. "se arrende" = to give up oneself /to be compliant This would have been someone who is working for the lord of a "Gut" as a dependant. Still guessing...

Never heard of it. Are you sure the spelling is correct? Maybe it's written in ancient characters you have to be accustomed to. Or a scanner using software not trained in reading german text. "G" is often confused with "S", "n" with "u" or "a", "f" with "s", "b" with "d". "Safsamendal."? "Sufsarrenbul."? "arrendar" is Spanish for: to lease /to rent out No? Still sure it's German? It's not Dutch. Nor Low German. Nor Middle High German. I read "Gutsherrenart" in the first place: "nach Gutsherrenart handeln" = to act at will /at random /arbitrarily /arrogant "der Gutsherr" = squire /lord of the manor
