Baune = Beacon

Classically, beacons were fires lit at well-known locations on hills or high places, used either as lighthouses for navigation at sea, or for signalling over land that enemy troops were approaching, in order to alert defenses. As signals, beacons are an ancient form of optical telegraphy, and were part of a relay league.

Systems of this kind have existed for centuries over much of the world. In Scandinavia many hill forts were part of beacon networks to warn against invading pillagers. In Wales, the Brecon Beacons were named for beacons used to warn of approaching English raiders. In England, the most famous examples are the beacons used in Elizabethan England to warn of the approaching Spanish Armada. Many hills in England were named Beacon Hill after such beacons. In the Scottish borders country, a system of beacon fires was at one time established to warn of incursions by the English. Hume and Eggerstone castles and Soltra Edge were part of this network. The Great Wall of China is also a beacon network. In Finland these beacons were called vainovalkeat, "persecution fires", or vartiotulet, "guard fires", and were used to warn Finn settlements of imminent raids by the Vikings. In Spain, the border of Granada in the territory of the Crown of Castile had a complex beacon network to warn against Moorish raiders and military campaigns.

In the 9th century, during the Arab–Byzantine wars, the Byzantine Empire used a beacon system to transmit messages from the border with the Abbasid Caliphate, across Anatolia to the imperial palace in the Byzantine capital, Constantinople. It was devised by Leo the Mathematician for Emperor Theophilos, but either abolished or radically curtailed by Theophilos' son and successor, Michael III. Beacons were later used in Greece as well, while the surviving parts of the beacon system in Anatolia seem to have been reactivated in the 12th century by Emperor Manuel I Komnenos.

This TB’s objective is to be a traveling beacon, a torch, enlightening the Geocacher, Cache owners and it’s followers of the exciting stories from where baunen has been.

 

Danish:

Når du lægger denne TB i en ny cache bedes du også logge en lille historie om egnen cachen er i, om dig selv, hvordan du har fundet den eller en personlig historie i forbindelse med din cache interesse eller lign. Meget gerne med et foto til at belyse din historie.

Efter mange cache besøg vil Baunen’s rute således være en lang rejse fortælling, som kan oplyse dig og mig om de eventyr og kulturer som Baunen har besøgt på sin rejse

 

Baune

En bavn, der egentlig betyder en vedstabel (brændestabel), er et bål tændt på et højtliggende sted, f.eks. på en bavnehøj, hvorfra det brændende bål kan ses vidt omkring. Man har helt tilbage fra vikingetiden brugt bavner til at kalde folk sammen, f.eks. i forbindelse med fjendtligheder. Ofte blev en gravhøj brugt til at sætte bavnen på.

Den norske konge Håkon Adelstenfostre anlagde omkring år 950 et kystforsvar med et tilhørende varslingssystem af bavner.

Første gang ordet optræder på skrift i Danmark er i en forordning udstedt på Sjællands Landsting i 1428. Heri står:

"At nar fyendæ kommæ fore landet og bagn brænder oc widie brand gingæ, hwilken i then stædt hiemæ sadhæ, oc til lagh aller komen waare, oc foor man hanwm, bør at hengæ weth syn egen byelkæ."

På frit nutidsdansk: "Den, der bliver hjemme og ikke møder op, når fjenden er i landet og bavnen brænder, skal hænges fra sin egen bjælke".

I 1444 nævner kong Erik af Pommern i et brev i Esrombogen ordet bavn i forbindelsen "bavnevagt", hvorfor det kan udledes, at der eksisterede en organiseret brug af bavnerne.

Under svenskekrigene blev der gjort megen brug af bavner. Christian 4. bestemmer i forbindelse med krigen i 1627, at "hvert herred skal have sin alarmplads, hvor folkene skal møde. Desuden skal der holdes standvagt og landbål med den allerstørste flid, hvortil der skal forordnes godt og skikkeligt folk. Påkommes fare, skal en af vagterne ved bavnene straks meddele det til lensmanden og kaptajnen, hvorefter bønderne skal søge deres alarmplads eller hvorhen de kommanderes. For at vagten ikke skal forsømmes, skal lensmanden selv, kaptajnen og fogderne i lenet have opsyn med bavnen. Hvor der oprettes bål, skal der foruden strandvagten holde to duelige karle til hest, som straks skal advare lensmanden og officererne, om der sker indfald eller landgang under deres fæsters (fortabelse?)"

Et kongeligt brev fra 1633 præciserer ligeledes, at bønderne skal møde på de forordnede vagt- og alarmpladser, når de får bud eller bålene brændes.

Signalering ved hjælp af bavner blev brugt sidste gang i Sønderjylland under krigen i 1864. Inden da var Nørrejylland stoppet med at bruge bavnesystemet efter Slavekrigen i 1848. Herefter blev andre signalmidler benyttet, i første omgang telegrafen.
