In an article describing the farms in the Vechta District, I found the
following statement:
Gr. Fortmann in Südlohne gehörte zu den "Hausgenossen"
I am not clear about the meaning of Hausgenossen. I translate the statement
as:
(The Farm named) Greater Fortman in Südlohne belongs to the fellow tenants.
Is this correct?

Hello Ronald,
I believe this is a "member of a co-operative" in the farm group of Südlohne.

Hi Ronald,
It means, that Gr. Fortmann was a "Wohnungsmieter or Gast" = roomer, lodger
or guest (found in "Familienkundliches Wörterbuch" by Fritz Verdenhalven).
