The North German Confederation adopted the metric system in 1868 and the remaining states in 1875 (after unification). In some of the German states the metric and pre-metric systems were both in use before 1868 - and after 1875. I have an old German ruler which is metric on one edge and give Rhenish inches on the other edge.
