Zimri (unit of measure)
The Simri , also Simra - both pronounced Swabian Semm (e) re - or the Simmer (from Old High German sumbir meaning basket ), abbreviated Sri. , was an Upper German measure of measure for measuring grain . In the past, a Simri often had 22 liters, but in the 19th century it was 44.3 liters in the Kingdom of Württemberg .
- 1 bushel = 8 zimri (18th and 19th century) or 12 zimri (16th century)
- 1 Simri = 4 four of a kind = 16 small measuring units = 32 small corners = 128 quarters one
- 1 Simri = 4 Invel ( Heidelberg )
The Zimri of 1555 formed the measurement basis for fruit and had 1116.8014 Parisian cubic inches = 22.153 liters or 22.1533291062 liters (16.04 liters for rough fruits, spelled and oats and 13.885 liters for smooth fruits).
In the Allgäu , the Simri was also a measure for a certain amount of hops . In exchange for baskets full of hops, the workers were given special metal hop tokens, which were later exchanged for their wages. In Tübingen in the 1870s, deaf dung was traded by simri.
