Zentner
Zentner is a historic unit of mass used in German-speaking regions and parts of Central Europe. It denotes a quantity equal to 100 Pfund, and in many areas it is equated with about 50 kilograms, though exact values varied by time and locality because Pfund itself was not uniform. In practice, Zentner was used in trade, agriculture, and taxation for larger consignments of commodities such as grain, flour, and livestock feeds.
With the adoption of the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries, official metrology abandoned Zentner
