Elle, the measuring unit in Germany was used to measure cloth.
Explanation:
- Former German measures appear very confusing since they vary from "Kingdom to Kingdom"and from province to province, from city to city.
- The obsolete measuring units in German-speaking nations comprise a wide variety of units with different definitions of local standards. Some units still serve as a shortcut for similar quantities in the "metric system" both in daily conversation & in shops & street markets. Some customers ask for a pound of something where they want 500gms, for example.
- On 1st January 1872, in Germany , the metric system had become compulsory. Old German units have similar names to units historically used in other nations, which remain in the UK (imperial units) and the US
- For example, Distance between fingertip & elbow is known as Elle which is used to measure cloth. In the North Germany, its is often 2 feet, In Prussia it around 17⁄8 feet, in the South Germany it is usually 2 1⁄2 feet. The smallest known Elle is around 402.8 mm (15.86 in), the longest is around 811 mm (31.9 in).
