Werkzeug, um Feuer zu entzünden
A match is a small stick with a chemical coating on its tip that ignites when struck against a rough surface, producing a flame for starting fires. Matches have been an important tool throughout history for reliably creating fire, making them useful for lighting candles, stoves, and other purposes before modern conveniences like lighters and electricity became widespread.

Article · Deutsch
Ein Streichholz oder Zündholz, veraltet Schwefelholz, ist ein Stäbchen zum Entfachen eines Feuers. Es besteht aus einem Schaft aus Holz, Pappe oder Papier, an dessen einem Ende ein Zündkopf angebracht ist. Durch Reiben des Zündkopfes an einer Reibfläche entzündet er sich und bringt das Streichholz zum Brennen. Die ersten praktisch einsetzbaren Zündhölzer kamen Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts auf den Markt. In der Anfangsphase waren sie unzuverlässig, explosionsträchtig und enthielten sehr giftige Stoffe, insbesondere weißen Phosphor. Seit den 1850er Jahren gibt es die Sicherheitszündhölzer, so wie sie noch heute in Gebrauch sind. Obwohl die Worte Streich- und Schwefelholz früher häufig synonym verwendet wurden, ist das Schwefelholz eigentlich ein Vorläufer des modernen Streichholzes. Es wird im Abschnitt Geschichte beschrieben.
