The origin of the name
Presumably the name Gullifelgen comes from the fact that the panes of the Gullifelgen are reminiscent of round gully covers. A gully or manhole cover is a metal cover for a shaft that leads into the sewer system. Gullys have holes that let water through to allow drainage into the sewer. At the same time, they are intended to prevent people from falling into the shaft or getting their feet into it, falling and injuring themselves. The round gullies, which resemble Gullifelgen, usually serve as access for sewer workers.
