The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism. -

Case Study: Germany – Saar Coal Field, Saarland Saarland is a state of Germany lo- Figure 1.1 cated in the west of the country. It Currently operating mine gas plants in the Saar Region covers an area of 2,570 km² and has a population of 990,000. It is the smallest German state in both area and population. Saarbrücken is the state capital and the largest city. To the west and south Saar- land borders France (apart from a few kilometres of the Moselle River bordering Luxembourg) and to the north and east the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. More than 500 years of hard coal mining influenced topographic, Source: Schemmer economic, and social levels in the Saar Region. For many years it was an important mining district for high volatile bituminous coals. The Saar Nahe Basin (SNB) is an intramontane late orogenic sedimentary basin in the internal zone of the Variscan mountain belt originated in the Carbon era (Westphalian A to the Stephanian D). The coal deposit consists of approxi- mately 500 coal seams with a cumulative thickness of more than 150 m and a coal content of about 120 billion m³ (Juch, 1994). Since 1429 until 2012, the Saar coalfields have been mined. Production peaked in 1957 with 16 Mio. t and decreased to 5.7 Mio. t in 2010. In 2012, the last year of production, 0.4 Mio. t of hard coal were excavated (statista.de). In the 1970s for safety reasons, the coal mining company Saarberg AG started to drain the hazardous methane from the underground working sites and built up a mine gas network, which reached a total length of 110 km. -

Thuringia.Com
www.thats-thuringia.com That’s Thuringia. Ladies and Gentlemen, Thuringia is the region where successful collaboration between entrepreneurs and researchers goes back centuries. Looking to the future has been a long-standing tradition here. Just take Carl Zeiss, Ernst Abbe, and Otto Schott, who joined forces in Jena to lay the foundations for the modern optics industry and for a productive partnership between business and science. It’s a success story that the entrepreneurs and scientists in our Free State are continuing to write to this very day. And in the process, our producers and services providers can draw upon a multifaceted research environment which currently comprises no less than nine universities and universities of applied sciences, a total of 14 institutions run by the Fraunhofer, Leibniz, Max-Planck, and Helmholtz scientific societies, as well as eight research institutions with close ties to the economy. It’s the variety and the optimal mix of locational advantages that makes Thuringia so attractive for investors from all over the world. The central location of our Land at the heart of Germany will soon become even more of an advantage thanks to the new ICE high-speed train junction in Erfurt, which will significantly reduce travelling time to Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt am Main. International companies seeking to locate to Thuringia can choose from our many top-notch industrial sites, which are situated along major highways and also include large-scale locations for those investors in need of more space. By now, Thuringia has surpassed Baden-Württem- berg as the Federal Land within Germany with the highest number of industrial operations per 100,000 inhabitants.
