A morgen was a unit of measurement of land in Germany, the Netherlands and the Dutch colonies, including South Africa. The size of a Morgen varies from 1/2 to 2 1/2 acres, which equivalates to approximately 2000 to 10000 square meters. It was also used in old Prussia, Norway and Denmark, where it was equal to about two-thirds of an acre. The word is usually taken to be the same as the German and Dutch word for "morning", the area of a morgen being equal to that covered by a morning's ploughing.
