Wizard: Please look at the fourth entry on this page: http://members.tripod.de/radargrundlagen/grundlagen/din.html -- Einheiten nach DIN 1301-2.
The page shows a table from DIN 1301-2, which is the latest version of the standard. Note that it says Quadratmeter.

The SI standard does not, itself, dictate the names of the units in the various languages, just the universal symbols for them. The Deutsche Institut f�r Normung, as the German national standards body, must deal with the names. Perhaps you should get yourself a copy of DIN 1301.
