Meile
Meile :
A traditional distance unit in German speaking countries, the meile is much longer than the mile units of western Europe. Typically the meile was equal to 4000 klafters (fathoms) or 24 000 fuß (German feet). In Austria this came to 7586 meters (4.714 miles); in northern Germany it was 4.6805 miles or 7532.5 meters. A version of the meile called the geographische meile was defined to equal exactly 4 (Admiralty) nautical miles (24 320 feet, 4.6061 miles, or 7412.7 meters). The geographische meile was designed to equal 1/15 degree [2] or 4/3 league. See also mil [4], the Scandinavian version of this unit
