Pack
The Verp , also Werp , was a grain measure in East Friesland .
A package had 2 bushels or 6 Dresdner Metzen . One sack required 2 Verps and 15 Verps made a ton . The load was 4 tons, so 60 Verps heavy. In the trade one added 1 packaging per load as compensation. In Hamburg , 66 packaging per load were required, as the load here was 16.5 tons.
- Emden and Leer 1 package = 2410 Parisian cubic inches = 47 ¾ liters
- Other locations 1 box = 2378 Paris cubic inches = 47 1/5 liters
A different subdivision of the measure was possible for each region:
- Aurich and Esens 1 pack = 42 krues and in Berum and Norden 1 pack = 40 krues
- Emden 1 package = 36 krues and in Friedeburg 1 package = 43 krues
- Wittmund 1 pack = 44 krues
