Chair (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chair was a measure of volume in the Halle salt pans for the brine. The term is derived from the number of brine wells that were called a chair. The following was calculated depending on the well:

  • German fountain = 32 chairs
    • 1 chair = 4 quart or cup = 48 pans = 1920 buckets
    • 1 quart = 12 pans = 60 Zober = 480 buckets = 5760 cans
  • Hackeborn fountain = 2 chairs
    • 1 chair = 16 noses = 120 pans
    • 26 place = 6 pans plus 2 place = 1 Nösel = 24 Zober
  • Good (h) year fountain = 12 chairs
    • 1 pan = 4 places
    • 1 chair = 7 quart
    • 1 quart = 12 pans
  • Meteritz fountain = 4 chairs
    • 1 chair = 20 quart
    • 1 quart = 2 Nösel = 10 Zober = 19 pans
