Plank (unit)
Planke was a measure of liquid in various cities along the North and Baltic Sea coasts of just under half a liter . The plank was used in Hamburg , Lübeck , Rostock , Schwerin , Holstein and other places in Mecklenburg . The measure was also called Plank and was identical to the Oeßel, also Nösel . The level was different in each of these regions. Generally it was true
- 1 plank = 1 plank = 1 nosel = 1 oel
- 1 quarter = 2 planks = 4 locations
Hamburg, Lübeck
- 1 quarter = 2 pots
- 1 oel = 22 13/16 Parisian cubic inches = 9/20 liters
Rostock
- 1 oel = 22 13/16 Parisian cubic inches = 9/20 liters
Number of Oeßel | appropriate measure |
---|---|
1 oel | 2 place / level |
2 bowls | 1 pot / quarter |
4 bowls | 1 pot |
8 Oeßel | 1 room |
16 Oeßel | 1 quarter |
64 Oeßel | 1 bucket |
80 Oeßel | 1 anchor |
320 Oeßel | 1 Ahm |
480 Oeßel | 1 Oxhoft |
1220 Oeßel | 1 load |
But these deviations also applied
- 1 teaspoon = 20 ¾ Parisian cubic inches = 2/5 liters
