A morgen was a unit of measurement of land area in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania and parts of the Dutch Overseas Empire, such as South Africa. The size of a morgen varies from 1⁄2 to 21⁄2 acres (2,000 to 10,100 m2).

lol ich dachte, das sei selbsterklärend... Es ist das Stück Land, welches an einem Morgen gepflügt werden kann. Zwischen 2.500 und 5.000 Quadratmeter für gewöhnlich.

It's that big. I used the settler camp as a size comparison.

Morgen is the same in danish for morning.

I Googled this same question and this thread came up, answering my question. Thanks OP!

I don't know if this is how this is implemented in this game, but historically it was an area one person could plow or harvest in one day. What was interesting about it, that fertile soil, which was easier to plow would translate to a larger area, than rocky soil which would take more effort to plow.

I don't know if this was developed to be variable like that, but this unit of measurement was translated to a different land area in different regions of Europe. I can imagine as farming technology improved, so would that measurement. Anyways, that is the concept how it came to be.

I'm afraid google is no longer a search engine. You'd be amazed how many results point to steam or reddit threads.
