General
The measure is attested as "legel wein" in German-language sources as early as the early 15th century , for example in South Tyrolean invoice records . Other names were: in Danish Legel , in Polish Lagiew , in Swedish Lägel and in Finnish Leili . The term stands for a round wooden vessel in the shape of a barrel, which was adapted to the requirements for the transport of goods with pack animals, especially pack animals . The basic shape had an oval cross-section and was low in height.
The barrel was of different sizes. Once there were small lägel as drinking vessels and large ones as transport vessels for various goods, but often only for liquids.
