Kreuzscheffel
Kreuzscheffel was a grain measure in the city of Paderborn . The measure in the rest of the principality was different from that in the city. The Kreuzscheffel was used until around the end of the 18th century and was later replaced by the legal Prussian bushel .
The dimensional chain of the Kreuzscheffel was determined by the type of grain and, based on the Fuder , the divisions were as follows:
| Fuder | Painted oats | Painted barley | Painted rye | bushel | Locker | cups |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4th | 6th | 8th | 48 | 192 | 768 |
| 1 | 1 ½ | 2 | 12 | 48 | 192 | |
| 1 | 1 ⅓ | 8th | 32 | 128 | ||
| 1 | 6th | 24 | 96 | |||
| 1 | 4th | 16 | ||||
| 1 | 4th |
