Pfund is a German noun that translates to 'pound' in English. It is a unit of weight commonly used in Germany and some other European countries.
In Germany, Pfund is equal to 500 grams or half a kilogram. It is often used to measure the weight of food items, such as meat, cheese, and butter.
The symbol for Pfund is 'lb' which stands for libra, the Latin word for pound. It is important to note that the German Pfund should not be confused with the British pound, which is a currency.
