Area measurements

Flächenmaße

Based on the metric system all day globally applicable area measurements (see also Mass. ). Furthermore, in many European countries are partly very old area measurements in use. In the vineyards are mostly in Europe ha (hectares), mostly in the Anglo-American Acres for the size specification of Vineyard common. The old area measurements were based on earlier use of the land. The names and sizes were observed on the basis of work performance - whether a wine garden dug, sown or plowed a field, or a lawn was mowed. The area, which could Serging a man in one day in a vineyard with a spade, gave a Graber. The morning and the yoke corresponding to the size of arable land that could be plowed in one morning. A Tagmahd Mannmahd or equal to that area, which created a mower mow in a day.

But not only the work but also sowing and harvesting were used as a criterion for determining an area. In the fields it was by a measure of capacity (bushels, Mutt, Star) predetermined amount of seed in the fields generated income unit (tun, Heufuder). The area sizes were inherently different and often differed from region to region and even from valley to valley. The measurements were not exact sizes, but rough approximations. It was also within a country no great need for standardization, because the reason traffic was handled on a local scale. Only toward the end of the 18th Century were introduced precisely metered quantities on the basis of standard dimensions. Such was before the introduction of the metric system as the square fathoms.
