Gaissla
The Gaißla , also called hostage , was a grain measure in Bamberg . It was derived from Simra. The dimensional chain was
A Simra / Simri / Simmer was based on the type and shape of grain and so there were different dimensions for smooth and rough grain , which had an effect on the derived dimensions. With smooth grain (wheat and rye) 1 Gaissla corresponds to about 1.95 liters , with rough grain (barley and oats) about 2.4 liters. The dimensions were
- 1 simra = 3948.4 Parisian cubic inches = 78.323 liters
- 1 Gaißla = 1.958 liters (smooth goods)
- 1 simra = 4831.4 Parisian cubic inches = 95.858 liters
- 1 Gaißla = 2.396 liters (rough goods)
