1781 - 1941 a Walk in the Shadow of Our History by Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington
1781 - 1941 A Walk in the Shadow of Our History By Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington For centuries, Europe was a hornet's nest - one poke at it and everyone got stung. Our ancestors were in the thick of it. They were the ones who suffered through the constant upheavals that tore Europe apart. While the history books tell the broad story, they can't begin to tell the individual stories of all those who lived through those tough times. And often-times, the people at the local level had no clue as to the reasons for the turmoil nor how to get away from it. People in the 18th century were duped just as we were in 1940 when we were promised a place in the Fatherland to call home. My ancestor Konrad Link went with his parents from South Germany to East Prussia”Poland in 1781. Poland as a nation had been squeezed out of existence by Austria, Russia and Prussia. The area to which the Link family migrated was then considered part of their homeland - Germany. At that time, most of northern Germany was called Prussia. The river Weichsel “Vitsula” divided the newly enlarged region of Prussia into West Prussia and East Prussia. The Prussian Kaiser followed the plan of bringing new settlers into the territory to create a culture and society that would be more productive and successful. The plan worked well for some time. Then Napoleon began marching against his neighbors with the goal of controlling all of Europe. -
New Germany Central
New Germany Property Value Decreases Integration Newbury road where 25 flats /white house were build Berkshire road signaling the Increases beginning of ‘Buffer Strip’ ‘The World’ Integration 1 Regarding the perimeters of New Germany, respondents mentioned that Berkshire road separates New Germany and Claremont (Township). Berkshire, Habborth and Rose roads, which appear outside of the community boundaries in the map above are also considered as part of New Germany by residents. The map does not cover the industrial area which includes New Germany Primary School. When asked about the map, one respondent stated that “boundaries are changed over time”. The information gathered from all interviews show that people have their own impressions of what New Germany is and where its boundaries lie. In general, people define a place as part of New Germany if it utilizes most of the services offered in New Germany. HISTORY New Germany was developed by German settlers. According to some respondents, New Germany was started by Reverend Posselt when he launched a Lutheran Church missionary in the area in 1848. Nevertheless, other sources suggest that New Germany was founded by Jonas Bergtheil around the same time. The settlers were mostly impoverished Germans who just arrived looking for jobs since conditions were difficult in Germany. These settlers bought the land to plant cotton but later used it for vegetables as it was not suitable for cotton. New Germany was later bought for use as a golf course estate. As time progressed, houses were developed on that land and the area then became an entry point into the housing market for many white people. -
Agricultural Productivity Across Prussia During the Industrial Revolution: a Thünen Perspective
European Historical Economics Society EHES WORKING PAPERS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY | NO. 13 Agricultural Productivity Across Prussia During the Industrial Revolution: A Thünen Perspective Michael Kopsidis, IAMO Halle Nikolaus Wolf, Humboldt-University Berlin and CEPR JANUARY 2012 EHES Working Paper | No. 13 | January 2012 Agricultural Productivity Across Prussia During the Industrial Revolution: A Thünen Perspective Michael Kopsidis, IAMO Halle Nikolaus Wolf, Humboldt-University Berlin and CEPR Abstract This paper explores the pattern of agricultural productivity across 19th century Prussia to gain new insights on the causes of the “Little Divergence” between European regions. We argue that access to urban demand was the dominant factor explaining the gradient of agricultural productivity as had been suggested much earlier theoretically by von Thünen (1826) and empirically by Engel (1867). This is in line with recent findings on a limited degree of interregional market integration in 19th century Prussia. JEL Codes N53, O43, O47, Q13, R12.

Introduction The literature on the historical origins of differential economic development, especially the debate on the “Great Divergence” between Europe and Asia (Pomeranz 2000) has recently sparked a new interest in the roots of differential development within Europe. A growing number of empirical studies (Clark 1987; Allen 2001, 2009, pp. 25-56; Pamuk 2007) supports the older historiography’s thesis that an emerging gradient of economic development from North-West Europe to the East of the continent unfolded from about the Late Middle Ages onwards (Gerschenkron 1962; Pollard 1981). -
Germany: a Global Miracle and a European Challenge
GLOBAL ECONOMY & DEVELOPMENT WORKING PAPER 62 | MAY 2013 Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS GERMANY: A GLOBAL MIRACLE AND A EUROPEAN CHALLENGE Carlo Bastasin Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS Carlo Bastasin is a visiting fellow in the Global Economy and Development and Foreign Policy pro- grams at Brookings. A preliminary and shorter version of this study was published in "Italia al Bivio - Riforme o Declino, la lezione dei paesi di successo" by Paolazzi, Sylos-Labini, ed. LUISS University Press. This paper was prepared within the framework of “A Growth Strategy for Europe” research project conducted by the Brookings Global Economy and Development program. Abstract: The excellent performance of the German economy over the past decade has drawn increasing interest across Europe for the kind of structural reforms that have relaunched the German model. Through those reforms, in fact, Germany has become one of the countries that benefit most from global economic integration. As such, Germany has become a reference model for the possibility of a thriving Europe in the global age. However, the same factors that have contributed to the German "global miracle" - the accumulation of savings and gains in competitiveness - are also a "European problem". In fact they contributed to originate the euro crisis and rep- resent elements of danger to the future survival of the euro area. Since the economic success of Germany has translated also into political influence, the other European countries are required to align their economic and social models to the German one. But can they do it? Are structural reforms all that are required? This study shows that the German success depended only in part on the vast array of structural reforms undertaken by German governments in the twenty-first century. -
