Mahlmitze

Mahlmitze , also Mahlmetze, was called the material wages due to the miller for grinding grain . This miller's wage was different for each region, but it was often 1/16 of the amount of grist or 1/16 of this per bushel . There were exceptions to these stipulations in times of need or for bakers. Then only 1/32 or 1/24 of the amount of grain was taken, regardless of the variety. In Dinkelsbühl the measure was 1/21. The meal in Bavaria was 1/32 of a bushel of grain. The Mahlmitze was also offset against the flour price in monetary form. The remuneration through the Mahlmitze brought the millers a comparatively good income, which was about three times the wages for hammer smiths , carpenters or stone cutters.

The Sester Molzermaß was a common name for the meal in the Grand Duchy of Baden . The amount of “coated” grain to be paid in Baden was 1/14 of each grain delivered in a sester . Paragraph 10 of the scale for the Grand Duchy of January 2, 1829 stipulated the “ special provisions on Molzer = Maase ”. The Sester Molzermass had to have the inscription "Molzermaas" on the measuring cylinder for the Sester and required the calibration and approval.
