A quarter-quarter (former Dutch: quartier) is a temporary residence for military personnel. 'Quarter Making' can possibly be done by a quartermaker. When a citizen is appointed for a quarter of a quarter, this is called Quarterly. In Belgium, however, a permanent barracks complex is usually designated by military quarter.
Only in military circles does the term 'quarter' know a lot of derivative meanings, such as the quartz dragon, a kind of cannon; the quarterly rescue, with the soldier not allowed to go outside the barracks; the quarterly list; the quarter-hat, a military headgear worn on the quarter quarter, which meant something like the enemy to give it along; The quartermaster was in charge of the quarter, even higher the Supreme Quartermaster and the Quartermaster General. Inkwartiering
Berucht used to be the inkwartiering, where passing troops were housed within a city, and had to be maintained by the inhabitants of this city (the quartermakers). Not only did this mean an economic assault on the alarming population already wrecked by war, but in addition, the relevant soldiers were not always unmanaged behavior. In the winter months, when there were no fights, the troops left for their winter quarters. At each quarterly quote, a letter of incorporation was issued stating the name of the quarter, the place where it was quartered and the name of the quarter quote, so that a refund could be made.
In the Netherlands, for example, even in the Netherlands, people were quarantined. For this purpose, the German soldiers or SSs had to pay a fee to the municipality, including the quarter, which then paid it to the quarter-party. Also, any spoiled and stolen goods and consumed electricity were paid.
