Huerta, Madrid: I. Juan de Herrera, SEdHC, ETSAM, A. E. Benvenuto, COAM, F. Dragados, 2003. A matter to be considered in various directions: Approaches in design, prefabrication and assembly of the Hamelin Chain Bridge, 1836-38 Michael Mende DEMANDS OF AN INCREASING TRAFFIC transport on the road from Hanover via Northeim and Gottingen to Cassel or destinations in Thuringia made In Oecember 1817, only three years after Hanover approximately 6,000 tons ayear, while a little more had been restituted as kingdom within the German than 2,000 ton s annually were crossing the Weser at Confederation created as a result of the Vienna Hamelin to get their destinations in Lippe or eastern Congress, Victor Leberecht Prott (1781-1857) as an Westphalia (von Reden 1839,2: 301 and 321). In the engineer lieutenant colonel the technical chief of the long term Hanoverian efforts in road construction General Board of Roads presented his general road would shift the main link between the seaports of construction plan (Hindelang an Walther 1989, 14). Hamburg or Bremen and trading centers like His proposal was to improve the communication in Frankfurt on the Main or Nuremberg from its that kingdom by laying out a net finally comprising traditional route via Brunswick more to the west about 3000 km of main roads and more than 2000 km focusing the capital and the Leine valley (Scholl of secondary or connecting roads. At this moment 1978, 46). Following a policy of pushing long only 920 km of these roads being composed of a distance transit routes Hanover tried to keep the bottoming between kerbstones and paved with sand, goods transport as long as possible within the borders gravel, or limestone were opened to traffic. of her territory. Hoping for raising benefits from a In the former electorate of Hanover road transit trade dragged out in such a way, the kingdom construction had started during the 1760s just after was going to convert roads into a new kind of staples the Seven Years' War. Between 1764 and the early (Rauers 1913,29 and 42). 1780s three main lines were going to be completed Before the Hanoverian exchequer, however, would under supervision of the Royal Electoral General be able to meet those expectations, heavy investments Intendance of Road Construction established by a were to be made not at least into bridge building. As grant of George III. The reason for taking up the each of the three 18th century roads merely had to roadworks was of both military and commercial cross brooks or creeks, for the time only small stone concern (Baldermann 1968, 75). Whereas the roads arch bridge s would have become necessary. For running from the capital to the fortified cities of passing rivers like the Rhume at Northeim, the Werra Hamelin and Nienburg watching the river Weser at Munden, or the Weser at Nienburg and Hamelin were more of military importance, the road passing furthermore existent bridges could be used, but which on its run south to Cassel the Hanoverian towns of in 1817 each still had remained in the property of Einbeck, Northeim, Gottingen, and Munden, would those municipalities. Albeit they were raising tolls, be more of commercial interest. About 1830 goods the bridges, however, lacked constant maintenance 1418 Michae1 Mende and therefore appeared in more or less a rather bad Hessian exclave of 5chaumburg, and at Minden in condition. Largely of medieval origin almost every of Prussian Westphalia, while the bridge at Hoxter these stone arch bridges by that time even had upstreams in the same province since 1673 had kept undergone considerable decay. Damages caused by ruined (Grunsky 1998, 108). heavy ice motion, flood, or military action during the Napoleonic wars had added to. In particular most bridge s had lost at least one of their vaults and ADOPTlNG A NEW TVPE OF BRIDGE CONSTRUCTlON sometimes also one or, Jike that at Hamelin, even two of the piers. Because the municipal budgets could not According to the agreements made among these atford more, strut frames had to compensate for. states by the Weser Navigation Act non e of these Albeit better than a ferry such structures, as chosen bridges should present an obstacle to shipping traffic. for the bridge s at Northeim, Nienburg, and HameJin, Albeit first attempts to sail by steam boat had been as well as at Minden, the Prussian fortress watching made in 1816, both passenger traffic and goods the river Weser downstreams Porta Westfalica, were transport on barges towed by a paddle wheel tug nothing more than rather a stop gap solution.

In the then would become the dominating location for steam case of Hanover this meant that the General Board of navigation upstream of Bremen.

At unevitable as Hanover by the agreements of the Hamelin this aspect was of particular importance Vienna Congress was obliged to take care of the because both the holm deviding the river Weser into improvements necessary to enable both an two arms and the falls at their entrance. Controlled by unrestrained navigation on the river Weser and an weirs across both arms these falls were powering open communication for troop movements between miJIs located as well on the holm as at the townside Prussia's central and westem provinces.

  • How Britain Unified Germany: Geography and the Rise of Prussia
    — Early draft. Please do not quote, cite, or redistribute without written permission of the authors. — How Britain Unified Germany: Geography and the Rise of Prussia After 1815∗ Thilo R. Huningy and Nikolaus Wolfz Abstract We analyze the formation oft he German Zollverein as an example how geography can shape institutional change. We show how the redrawing of the European map at the Congress of Vienna—notably Prussia’s control over the Rhineland and Westphalia—affected the incentives for policymakers to cooperate. The new borders were not endogenous. They were at odds with the strategy of Prussia, but followed from Britain’s intervention at Vienna regarding the Polish-Saxon question. For many small German states, the resulting borders changed the trade-off between the benefits from cooperation with Prussia and the costs of losing political control. Based on GIS data on Central Europe for 1818–1854 we estimate a simple model of the incentives to join an existing customs union. The model can explain the sequence of states joining the Prussian Zollverein extremely well. Moreover we run a counterfactual exercise: if Prussia would have succeeded with her strategy to gain the entire Kingdom of Saxony instead of the western provinces, the Zollverein would not have formed. We conclude that geography can shape institutional change. To put it different, as collateral damage to her intervention at Vienna,”’Britain unified Germany”’.

Two grants from the German Academic Exchange Service allowed me to spend considerable time in Germany. The first enabled me to attend a summer seminar at the Universität Regensburg. This experience greatly improved my German language skills and kindled my deep love of Bavaria. The second allowed me to spend a year in various archives throughout Bavaria collecting the raw material that serves as the basis for this dissertation. For this support, I am eternally grateful. The generosity of the German Academic Exchange Service is matched only by that of the German Historical Institute. The GHI funded two short-term trips to Germany that proved critically important.

Vorwort: Das Schaumburger Land, von den Rehburger Bergen bis ins Wesergebirge, ist reich an Bodenschätzen. Seit mehr als 600 Jahren prägte daher der Bergbau in Schaumburg nicht nur die Landschaft; er war zeitweise auch von erheblicher Bedeutung für das Leben zahlreicher Familien. So gab es u. a. Gesteins-, Ton-, Salz- und vor allem Kohleabbau. Heute werden nur noch (bei Obernkirchen und Steinbergen) Steine gebrochen. Der Abbau anderer Bodenschätze wurde eingestellt, so der Kohlebergbau zu Beginn der 60er Jahre.
