Motika

The title of this article is ambiguous. For the German orientalist see Raoul Motika .

The Motika (Pl. Motiken) was a field measure in areas of the military border and is listed as a Hungarian measure. It was primarily a vineyard size, the size of which was different in coastal regions (200 square fathoms) to inland regions (250 square fathoms).

• 1 motika = 200 square fathoms = 7.1933 ares = 719.33 square meters

This area was only valid in the part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy that lay across the Drava , which corresponds to today's Croatia . The measure also occurred in Serbia.
