Öseammer
The Öseammer was a measure of volume in the boiling huts when salt was made. The measure is derived from the barrel-shaped vessel of the same name. This scoop was lifted from the well with the brine and emptied into the salt pan (data refer to Lüneburg salt works)
- 1 Öseammer = 149.28 liters (brine for the settlement of 3 salt pans = 3 times 40 small rooms á 49.76 liters)
- 1 sweet = 15.12 kilograms (yield from 1 pan of 49.76 liters)
- 1 rump = 3 sweet (yield from 3 salt pans of 1 Öseammer)
From 1569 the Öseammer was replaced by the Kumm.
