<p>The <b>units of measurement</b> of <a href="/wiki/German-speaking_countries" class="mw-redirect" title="German-speaking countries">German-speaking countries</a> consist of a variety of units, with varying local standard definitions. While many were made redundant with the introduction of the <a href="/wiki/Metric_system" title="Metric system">metric system</a>, some of these units are still used in everyday speech and even in stores and on street markets as shorthand for similar amounts in the metric system. For example, some customers ask for one pound (<i>ein Pfund</i>) of something when they want 500 <a href="/wiki/Gram" title="Gram">grams</a>. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Metric_system" title="Metric system">metric system</a> became compulsory on 1 January 1872, in <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> and on 1 January 1876, in Austria.<sup id="cite_ref-Barnard1879_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Barnard1879-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some obsolete German units have names similar to units that were traditionally used in other countries, and that are still used in a limited number of cases in the United Kingdom (<a href="/wiki/Imperial_units" title="Imperial units">imperial units</a>) and fully in the United States (<a href="/wiki/United_States_customary_units" title="United States customary units">United States customary units</a>). </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="German_system">German system</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=German_units_of_measurement&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: German system"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Before the introduction of the metric system in German, almost every town had its own definitions of the units shown below. Often towns posted local definitions on a wall of the city hall. For example, the front wall of the old city hall of Rudolstadt (still standing) has two marks which show the “Rudolstädter Elle”, the proper length of the Elle in that city. Supposedly by 1810 there were 112 different standards for the Elle around Germany. <sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
