Invel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Invel , also called Impfel, was a small German measure of volume. It was intended as a fruit measure for smooth fruits, i.e. a grain measure . For so-called rough fruits, the Malter was 4 ½ quarters in size and thus also influenced the Invel. The scope was Heidelberg, Mannheim, Heilbronn, so many areas of Baden and Württemberg.

The dimensional chain was

  • 1 Malter = 4 Quads = 8 Simmers / Simri = 16 Quads = 32 Invels = 128 Mäßchen
  • 1 Malter smooth fruit = 111.416 liters , resulted in around 3.48 liters for 1 Invel
  • 1 Malter rough fruit = 125.343 liters, resulted in around 3.92 liters for 1 Invel
