Ofener Metzen

The Ofener Metzen was a measure of volume and grain and was made mandatory for all of Hungary as early as 1715 by a Reichstag resolution .

• 1 Ofener Metzen = 75 halves / Icze (Pressburger) about 63.78 liters
• 1 Ofener Metzen = 1 Pest Metzen = 1 ½ Pressburger Metzen

From 1807 this Metzen was replaced by a law from the Pressburger Metzen . This had only 64 halves / icze (Pressburgers) and its size was the same as the Pressburg wine bucket.

• 1 Pressburg wine bucket = 2744 2/3 Parisian cubic inches = 54.4442 liters
