Malterscheid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malterscheid was, like the smaller dimensions Müttescheid , Scheffelscheid and Viertelscheid , a surface measure for a field or a meadow. The dimensions are also referred to as Malter, Mütte, Scheffel or Viertelgescheid (t), or Maltersen and Scheffelsen . All four dimensions from the 17th and 18th centuries belong to the sowing dimensions . An indication of the corresponding capacity for the seeds can be easily derived. For example, a Malterscheid 64/30 corresponded to a Prussian morning. Small deviations can be seen mathematically, but in practice they were often insignificant.

  • 1 Malterscheid = 3 Müttescheid = 12 quarter-cuts = 180 square rods
  • 1 Malterscheid ≈ 2556 square meters ≈ 1 acre
    • 1 Viertelscheid = 378 square meters (rhein.)
    • 1 morning ≈ 6.66 Viertelscheid (rhein.)
  • 1 Müttescheid ≈ 840 square meters
  • 1 Viertelscheid ≈ 210 square meters
    • 1 Viertelscheid (Prussian) = 337.220 square meters
    • 7 Viertelscheid = 1 morning (Prussian.)
    • 7 Viertelscheid = 2,557.243 square meters (also 2,371.936 square meters) = 1 acre
  • Herrschaft Homburg : 1 Viertelscheid = 25 square rods (1 Q. = 14.2 square meters) = 355 square meters
  • Burscheid 1 quarter tray (1/4 acre)
  • Gummersbach and the surrounding area 1 Viertelscheid = 24 square rods = 3400 square meters
  • 1 Malterscheid = 4 Sümmer = 16 quarter cuts
  • 1 Viertelscheid = 16 old (square) rods (1 (square) rod (old) = 16 (square) feet (Cologne)) = 24 (square) rods (Prussian)
  • 1 Malterscheid = 3040 square meters

Jülich-Bergisches Maß:

  • Meadow 2 Malterscheidt = 6 carts of hay = 4 acres
  • Hochwald 4 Malterscheidt = 8 acres
  • Kleve 600 square rods = 8,865.362 square meters = 3.3 acres (Prussian.)
    • 1 Viertelscheid = 373 square meters (mountain)
  • 1 Malterscheid oat = 256 square rods (1 square rod = 21.14 square meters) = 0.54 hectares
  • 1 acre = 150 square rods = 0.32 hectares
