- Abstract
The aim of the article is an attempt to present the history of measurement in the lands of the former East Prussia, now Warmia and Mazury, in the years 1868-1966. The article outlines the introduction of the metric system in the emerging German Empire and East Prussia, as well as the expansion of the metric offices which fell to Poland in the post-war years. The expansion of the Polish weights and measures administration and its post-war problems are also presented. Everything was enriched with many interesting illustrations to make the reader even more curious. The article is certainly not exhaustive due to the scanty amount of source materials, which the author is aware of, but it will certainly be a beginning for further research and scientific studies.
