Smooth grain included rye, wheat, peas and lentils, while rough grain included oats and barley. Measurements were made in malters, metzen, quarters and eighths. The malter of rye contained five eighths and one metze, but the malter of oats contained six eighths, two metzen and two quarters. The grain stone was used to determine the "stamped measure" when buying grain, and the grain ran into the sack through the opening under the stone. A laborious process when larger quantities were being traded, especially since different grain measures were common everywhere, even in the same counties.

A grain measure for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 Metzen stands in the middle of the market square, completely unobserved and barely noticed by most. One Metzen corresponds to 20.5 liters of grain. The grain was poured into the top, the opening closed, and then bottled.
