Hello Gunar,
Blade length starts just under 50cm, peaks around 60-70cm, and tethers out with a few rare long examples.

No real relationship aside from general western influence regarding hilts with guards (of very different construction).
The clipped blade in Wayne's example (a relatively rare variant) considerably predates the Dutch klewang.
