Units explained
Morgen (Prussian)
A Prussian morgen was a historical German unit of area equal to approximately 2553.22 m².
Originated from the medieval German morgen, the area one man could plow in a morning. The Prussian morgen was standardized at 25,532 square Prussian feet.
Prussian morgens appear in historical German land records, particularly from the 18th and 19th centuries. Abolished in favor of metric units in 1872 with the German Empire's standardization.
Medieval German origin; abolished 1872.
Carucate
A carucate was a medieval English unit of land area equal to approximately 485,623 m² (about 120 acres or 48.6 hectares).
Originated in early medieval England as the area one team of eight oxen could plow in a year. The size varied considerably by soil type and region.
Carucates appear in the Domesday Book and other medieval English land surveys. The unit was used for taxation assessment but was inherently variable due to its agricultural-output basis.
Anglo-Saxon English origin; obsolete by late medieval period.
