By Robert Franz, editor of Der Deutsche Oekonomist, Berlin. (i) GENERAL SECTION. (a) INTRODUCTION. One of the characteristic features of the recent economic development of the world is the leading part taken by- German industry and trade. Products of German labor are found nowadays on all the leading highways of world commerce. But even the younger German generation finds it difficult to realize that the present economic status of Germany is for the greater part the result of a devel­ opment which has taken place during the comparatively short period of two decades. Except for temporary depressions, such as are observed in the economic life of all countries, the line of development during the period mentioned has been a vigorously ascending one. This is true particularly of the last decade, during which German economic activity has made extraordinary strides on the road of progressive development. A detailed account of the causes and results of this progress would exceed the compass of the present study. But the growth of German banking is so closely and organically interwoven with the general economic devel­ opment of the nation at large that a brief sketch of this general development, made somewhat more plastic by the presentation of certain characteristic statistical data, would seem to be in place. 7 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis National Monetary Commission The war of 1870-71 had at last brought to Germany the political and economic union for which she had longed and labored for decades. The German name had all at once become honored and respected among the nations of the world. This change may be said to have given the first powerful impetus to German enterprise. The new move­ ment was favored by the act of June 10, 1870, which abrogated the former obligation of obtaining a state con­ cession for the forming of stock companies and limited liability corporations. The new law greatly facilitated the consolidation of capital. The flower which it brought forth was, however, short-lived. The period of splendor, known in the pages of German economic history as " Gran­ der jahren (bubble era), ended finally in a severe crisis and a long-continued depression. The manifestations of unbridled enterprise and excesses of speculation were followed by a period of utmost depres­ sion and loss of all spirit of enterprise. The psychological factor of confidence, which must always be present in order to put economic forces into action, was missing. Such forces existed, on the one hand, in the natural resources of the country (treasures of the soil, etc.), and, on the other, in the living force of a rapidly increasing population. Particularly for the latter, however, there was little em­ ployment, and every year—as will be seen from the emigra­ tion statistics—Germany yielded of its best stock to the growing economic regions abroad, and particularly large numbers to North America. German transoceanic emigration during the years of 1872 to 1888 was as follows: 8 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Miscellaneous Articles on German Banking To the Total.

This stimulation of the spirit of enterprise spread from America over the entire civilized world. In Germany the movement re­ ceived a special impetus through the railroad nationaliza­ tion started by Prussia. This raised hopes for a speedy extension of the railroad system and a prospective larger demand for the products of the mining and iron industries. Another factor working in the same direction was the revision of the customs tariff, undertaken in 1879 and based upon financial and economic considerations.

    Landmark 4 Brocken ® On the 17th of November, 2015, during the 38th UNESCO General Assembly, the 195 member states of the United Nations resolved to introduce a new title. As a result, Geoparks can be distinguished as UNESCO Global Geoparks. As early as 2004, 25 European and Chinese Geoparks had founded the Global Geoparks Network (GGN). In autumn of that year Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen became part of the network. In addition, there are various regional networks, among them the European Geoparks Network (EGN). These coordinate international cooperation. 22 Königslutter 28 ® 1 cm = 26 km 20 Oschersleben 27 18 14 Goslar Halberstadt 3 2 1 8 Quedlinburg 4 OsterodeOsterodee a.H.a.Ha H.. 9 11 5 13 15 161 6 10 17 19 7 Sangerhausen Nordhausen 12 21 In the above overview map you can see the locations of all UNESCO Global Geoparks in Europe, including UNESCO Global Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen and the borders of its parts. UNESCO-Geoparks are clearly defi ned, unique areas, in which geosites and landscapes of international geological importance are found. The purpose of every UNESCO-Geopark is to protect the geological heritage and to promote environmental education and sustainable regional development. Actions which can infl ict considerable damage on geosites are forbidden by law.

    Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990 Geoffrey Jones Christina Lubinski Working Paper 12-003 July 22, 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Geoffrey Jones and Christina Lubinski Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Managing Political Risk in Global Business: Beiersdorf 1914-1990 Geoffrey Jones Christina Lubinski 1 Abstract This working paper examines corporate strategies of political risk management during the twentieth century. It focuses especially on Beiersdorf, a German-based pharmaceutical and skin care company. During World War 1 the expropriation of its brands and trademarks revealed its vulnerability to political risk. Following the advent of the Nazi regime in 1933, the largely Jewish owned and managed company, faced a uniquely challenging combination of home and host country political risk. The paper reviews the firm's responses to these adverse circumstances, challenging the prevailing literature which interprets so-called "cloaking" activities as one element of businesses’ cooperation with the Nazis. The paper departs from previous literature in assessing the outcomes of the company’s strategies after 1945. It examines the challenges and costs faced by the company in recovering the ownership of its brands. While the management of distance became much easier over the course of the twentieth century because of communications

  • Harzer Bürgermeister Stehen Gemeinsam Für Das Projekt Winterberg
    Pressemitteilung der Stadt Wernigerode Wernigerode, 13.12.2017 Harzer Bürgermeister stehen gemeinsam für das Projekt Winterberg Am 13. Dezember 2017 trafen sich auf Initiative der „Bürgerinitiative Pro Winterberg“ die Bürgermeister der Städte Goslar, Halberstadt, Quedlinburg, Ilsenburg, Stadt Oberharz am Brocken und Wernigerode im Schierker Rathaus, um ein klares Bekenntnis für die weitere Entwicklung des Tourismus und der Wirtschaft in der gesamten Region Harz zu dokumentieren. Die Stadt Wernigerode kämpft seit Jahren dafür, eine Ganzjahres-Erlebniswelt mit einer Seilbahn in Schierke am Winterberg zu etablieren. Es gibt seitens des Landes seit Jahren keine klare Entscheidung im Streit um den geschützten Lebensraum Moorwald. Diese wird nun von Investor Gerhard Bürger ganz klar und zeitnah eingefordert. Werner Vesterling (Bürgerinitiative Pro Winterberg) begrüßte die Anwesenden und betonte in seinen Ausführungen, dass es ganz klar um eine geeinte und starke kommunale Botschaft für das Projekt Winterberg geht. „Wir haben Winter und da gehört der Wintersport dazu. Schierke war einst die Wiege des Wintersports im Harz. Die Gäste vermissen Angebote und Attraktionen, sowie es sie in anderen Regionen bereits gibt. Das Projekt darf nicht auf die lange Bank geschoben werden. Es ist unsere Pflicht, den Tourismus im Harz weiterzuentwickeln!“, so Vesterling. Peter Gaffert bekannte sich ebenfalls eindeutig zum Projekt: „Ich denke, es ist ein gutes Signal, dass die Bürgermeister der Harzorte und der Investor sich heute treffen, um ein klares Bekenntnis für die Investitionen am Winterberg abzugeben. Jede touristische Investition strahlt in den gesamten Harz aus. Wir wissen alle, dass der Tourismus ohne Investitionen und Highlights im Vergleich zu den anderen touristischen Destinationen in Deutschland auf der Strecke bleibt.
