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 [[acre]]s, which equivalates to approximately 0.202 to 1.012 [[Hectare|ha]]. It was also used in old [[Prussia]], [[Norway]] and [[Denmark]], where it was equal to about two-thirds of an acre (0.27 ha). The word is usually taken to be the same as the [[German language|German]] and [[Dutch language|Dutch]] word for "morning", the area of a morgen being equal to that covered by a morning's [[plough]]ing.
