The same word is also often used as an abbreviation for Ma\u00dfkrug, the handled drinking vessel containing it, ubiquitous in Bavarian beer gardens and beer halls, and a staple of Oktoberfest. This vessel is often referred to as a beer mug by English speakers, and can be correctly called a beer stein only if it is made of stoneware and capable of holding a regulation Ma\u00df of beer.

In its neuter form, das Ma\u00df, it is the German word for “measure”. Its feminine version, “die Ma\u00df“, is used in southern Germany and Austria to refer to a one-litre glass beer mug or its contents.[1] It is spelled “Ma\u00df” or “Mass” (both spellings are permissible) in Germany and Austria, and “Mass” in Switzerland.[2] The plural is also Ma\u00df.A stoneware mug is a form of beer stein, another type of vessel which may only be referred to as a Ma\u00dfkrug if capable of holding a regulation quantity of beer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Measurement[edit] In the Southern German areas (Austro-Bavarian), the Ma\u00df originally measured 1.069 litres (2.26\u00a0US\u00a0pt; 1.881\u00a0imp\u00a0pt).[3] Other German-speaking areas had different measures; in Switzerland between 1838 and 1877, and in Baden until 1871, the Ma\u00df was 1.5 litres.The modern Ma\u00dfkrug is slightly larger than 1 litre, with a fill line denoting the level to which the beer must be filled; the area above the line denotes space for the head to expand. Selling beer in mugs with a fraudulent or missing calibration mark is also prosecuted as fraud. An “Association Against Fraudulent Pouring [of Beer]” (“Verein gegen betr\u00fcgerisches Einschenken”) in Munich fights for the customer rights of beer drinkers, and is mostly active on Oktoberfest.[4]In the more northerly parts of Germany, the Ma\u00df has mostly fallen out of use, except for Bavarian-themed events, since beer for immediate consumption there is usually sold in smaller amounts, from 0.2\u20130.5 litres (6.8\u201317\u00a0US\u00a0fl\u00a0oz), Mugs are frequently decorated with a print of the logo of the brewery.Some beer gardens and restaurants rent space out to patrons to store their mugs, which often have personalized engravings on their lids. For a small monthly fee, the establishment will also wash one’s mug.[citation needed]According to physicist Erich Schuller of the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, a Ma\u00dfkrug is an “effective percussion tool” in which each strike is potentially life-threatening. An empty Ma\u00df weighs 1.3 kilograms (2.9\u00a0lb) and can produce a force of 8,500 newtons (1,900\u00a0lbf) in a violent blow, far surpassing the 4,000 newtons (900\u00a0lbf) required to break a human’s skullcap. Some cases have occurred, though, in which the Ma\u00dfkrug yielded. Presumably, these mugs had reduced strength due to wear.[5]Ma\u00dfkrugstemmen\/Masskrugstemmen\/steinholding[edit]The endurance sport of Ma\u00dfkrugstemmen involves holding a filled 2.4-kilogram (5.3\u00a0lb) Ma\u00df at arm’s length.[6] The world record is 45\u00a0minutes and 2\u00a0seconds.[7] While the sport is believed to have originated in Bavaria, Germany, competitions are now seen worldwide. A governing body has been created in the United States as the U.S. Steinholding Association.[8]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit] The dictionary definition of Ma\u00df at Wiktionary (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/mas-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Ma\u00df – Wikipedia"}}]}]
