Mäßli

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mäßli was a Swiss measure of volume with fairly uniform sizes in the various cantons . In some regions a distinction was made between cereals in general and oats , or smooth and rough fruits. Similar terms such as Mäß / Mäs (grain measure in the canton of Bern and Freiburg ) or Mäßel, Mäßl, Mäßchen (Bavaria) are independent measures of volume.
