Landmesser's cubit
The Landmesser-Elle was a measure of length for measuring country estates in the Russian Liefland and Courland . It was different from the Riga Elle , because it was only 537.99 millimeters long .
The Landmesser-Elle measure was valid from 1804 and was incorrectly referred to as "Swedish Elle". From 1822 the measure became legal.
Length measure
- 1 land knife cubit = 271.2971 Parisian lines = 611.99 millimeters
In 1822 the measure changed
- 1 surveyor cubit = 270.2283 Parisian lines = 609.58 millimeters
- 1 measuring chain / chain = 25 land knife cubits = 50 feet (Russian and English)
Area measure
If this surveyor cubit in the square was used as a field measure, then in 1822 corresponded
- 400 surveyor squares = 1 cap / cap = 1.4846 ares
- 10,000 land knife squares = 25 caps = 1 new loof place = 37.1599 ares
The old Loofstelle from 1804 was 37.4544 ares, i.e. 0.2945 ares larger. Zur Tonn (en) stelle, already in law in 1815, also as a measure of area for arable land, was on the condition that a cap with 400 Landmesser squares was required
- 1804: 1 old ton (s) place = 35 caps = 52.4361 ares
- 1822: 1 new ton (s) place = 35 caps = 14,000 Landmesser-quadratellen = 52.0238 ares
