Tehr
Tehr , and the tar or tar , was a German volume figure for peat in Hamburg . In other peat extraction areas , calculations were based on baskets , dogs , stacks, steps, bars or sticks and sod and a day's work was concluded. In Bremen, for example, a dog with 100 baskets corresponded to 2.5 to 3 days' work and was about 560 cubic feet in size.
In an ordinance of October 14, 1834, binding from November 1, 1834, a Tehr / Theer had to consist of at least 50 baskets. The dimensions of the basket were two feet at the top , one foot plus eight inches in the middle , one foot and four inches at the bottom. The height of the basket was a foot and eight inches.
The size was determined again as an announcement by the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg on April 2, 1869.
- 1 tehr = 120 cubic feet (hamb.) = 82.39 Parisian cubic feet = 28.541 hectoliters (after 28.241 hectoliters)
