Palankin is the German variation of the word Palanquin, which is a chair from the East, made of wood and designed to be carried by servants. It was first built to carry the sick, but over time, other types of people took to this way of getting around, such as royalty and important figures in society. In Sanskrit, the word means bed (a place of rest and intimacy) and couch (a place for socializing). Palankins were used to carry the king to places outside his palace.
