Who were the key architects that helped to propel the rapid industrisation and build up of Germany..?

Question

after its unification till 1914?

What were some of the key factors that contribute to this growth in just 50 years compared to France and Britain?

Answer 1

Three names are key to German Industrialization. Thyssen, Krupp, and Siemens. These three companies werre led by dynamic men whose ambitions were in step with Otto Von Bismark and Kaiser Wilhelm the 1st....

Gonna go with links and snippets // \\ a key factor will sound like a stereotype but the Germans are an Industrious Race...

"""Alfred Krupp, the second child and oldest son of Friedrich (1787 - 1826) and Therese (1790 - 1850) Krupp, is forced to leave grammar school and abandon his plans to serve an apprenticeship in the Düsseldorf mint when his father becomes seriously ill. He joins the firm and supports his mother who takes over the management of the company after the death of her husband in 1826. First his sister and later his brothers also join the firm, which now produces cast steel, tanner's tools, coin dies and rolls.

In 1848 Alfred Krupp becomes the sole proprietor of the company which from 1850 experiences its first major growth surge. In 1849 his equally talented brother Hermann (1814 - 1879) takes over the hardware factory Metallwarenfabrik in Berndorf near Vienna, which Krupp had established together with Alexander Schöller six years earlier. The factory manufactures cutlery in a rolling process developed by the brothers. The youngest brother Friedrich also ceases to work for the company.

Krupp's main products are machinery and machine components made of high-quality cast steel, especially equipment for the railroads, most notably the seamless wheel tire, and from 1859 to an increased extent artillery. To secure raw materials and feedstock for his production, Krupp acquires ore deposits, coal mines and iron works. On Alfred Krupp's death in 1887 the company employs 20,200 people. His great business success is based on the quality of the products, systematic measures to secure sales, the use of new cost-effective steel-making techniques, good organization within the company, and the cultivation of a loyal and highly qualified workforce among other things through an extensive company welfare system.

In 1853 Alfred Krupp marries the much younger Bertha Eichhoff (1831 - 1888), daughter of August Eichhoff, a retired Rhine customs inspector from Cologne. In 1854 their only son Friedrich Alfred is born.

Throughout his life Alfred Krupp devotes himself to the company and to ensuring its continued long-term survival. He establishes principles which will be upheld at Krupp, specifying that earnings must be ploughed back into the company and the company must be passed down to a single heir only. A rather unassuming person in his private life, he is quick to publicly promote the company, its products and also its welfare schemes as a means of advertising. Krupp declines invitations to join political bodies and associations in the same way as he refuses a title of nobility. In his private life he loves the theater, music and small gatherings of his closest friends and relations. But at the same time by building Villa Hügel (1870 - 1873) he creates a worthy representational setting for receiving business visitors. In his old age he withdraws to Villa Hügel, but even then he frequently intervenes - mostly in writing - in the company's business affairs."""

""""August Thyssen (1842-1926)
August Thyssen was one of the principal entrepreneurs in the iron and steel industry of the Ruhrgebiet, whose influence spread throughout Europe.
He was born in the mining town of Eschweiler near Aachen. His father Friedrich Thyssen (1804-77) managed a wire rolling mill and was also involved in banking. August Thyssen studied in Aachen, karlsruhe and Antwerp before beginning work in his father’s bank. He founded a company in Duisburg with his brother in 1867, but left it after four years to form, with his father, Thyssen & Co, working a rolling mill near Mulheim-an-der-Rhein.

From 1877 when his younger brother Joseph Thyssen (1844-1915) joined the company, August Thyssen sought to expand the company in other countries and by the acquisition of other firms in the Ruhrgebiet.

The company began to produce pipes for gas mains, to roll sheet iron, and to operated a galvanizing plant, and in 1883 acquired a neighbouring firm which was the foundation of Meschinenfabrik Thyssen & Co, that became one of the principal mechanical engineering concerns in Europe, known particularly in its early years for its large gas engines. He acquired coal and iron ore mines to supply the company’s furnaces, and when the First World War broke out had interests in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and South America. His home from 1903 was Schloss Landsberg at Essen-Kettwig.

""""""Werner von Siemens was born on December 13, 1816, in Lenthe, near Hanover, the fourth of 14 children of a less-than-affluent farmer. He quickly developed an interest in science and engineering, but when the family's shortage of money precluded the possibility of a university education on completing school, Werner chose the only viable alternative path in those days ? technical training as an artillery office with the Prussian army. Once in service, the young officer soon demonstrated that he had special abilities and, according to an appraisal by a superior, was "thoroughly capable of performing well in the technical field, thanks to his excellent knowledge of engineering and the sciences, and his inventiveness". ------------------------------
After the first few years of success in business, the scientist and engineer in Werner von Siemens once again came to the fore. In 1866 he achieved his greatest accomplishment: the discovery of the dynamo-electric principle and the invention of a "dynamo-machine", its first practical application. His invention marked the dawn of the age of electrical engineering. (The German term for this field, "Elektrotechnik", was initially coined by Werner; it had originally been referred to as the "applied theory of electricity".) Werner was fully aware of the importance of his discovery: "Engineering now has the means to produce electric currents of unlimited strength cheaply and easily. This will be of immense significance in many areas within the field as a whole". And it was with their habitual entrepreneurial vigor that Werner and his company, Siemens & Halske, set about specializing in the areas in question ? drives, lighting and power engineering. This was the catalyst that ultimately caused Siemens & Halske to develop into a large-scale enterprise, and by 1890, when Werner retired from the company management, its workforce had grown in number to 5,500.
Werner von Siemens, who was raised to the nobility in 1888, also made his mark as a pioneer in a non-technical field ? social policy. His view that motivated employees were the basis for the company's success still holds true today: "It soon became clear to me that the steadily expanding firm could only be made to develop satisfactorily if one could further its interests by ensuring that all employees work together in a cheerful and efficient manner." He introduced social benefits that were frequently ahead of their time, including a company pension scheme in 1872 (many years before Bismarck introduced national insurance legislation), a nine-hour working day in the same year (when 10-12 hours were the rule else-where), and a profit-sharing scheme, the so-called "stocktaking bonus", launched in 1866.
Werner von Siemens died in Berlin on December 6, 1892. During what had been a full and active life, his interests has also extended to public affairs. As a member of the German Progress Party he had held a seat in the Prussian parliament from 1862 to 1866; in 1879 he had co-founded the Electrotechnical Society in Berlin; and he had set up a foundation to support the Physical-Technical Institute of the Reich, established in 1887.
The name of Johann Georg Siemens has faded into almost total obscurity, but had it not been for him, Siemens, now a major international company, might never even have existed. He was Werner von Siemens' cousin, and it was he who provided the start-up capital of 6,842 thalers needed to launch "Telegraphen-Bau-Anstalt von Siemens & Halske". His was the third signature on the articles of association of October 1, 1847, alongside those of Werner and his partner Johann Georg Halske, the company's other two "founding fathers". The funds Johann Georg Siemens provided were well invested: The small ten-man operation soon began to thrive. In 1852, just five years after the company was formed, its workforce was 90 strong and its domestic sales exceeded 500,000 marks. Foreign markets were highly important too, even in those days, and export sales ran to almost 450,000 marks. Werner rapidly began to internationalize the company. Foreign branches were set up – first in England (1850), in Russia (1855), and then in Austria (1858). In those days, the workforce in foreign countries exceeded the number of employees in Prussia. Werner showed a keen eye for developing markets and a distinct lack of trepidation about committing himself to business ventures "at the far end of the world." The start of operations in Japan, for example, dates back to the early 1860s, and the company installed China's first electric generator, in Shanghai in 1879. In 1890, almost half of Siemens' 5,500 employees worked in foreign countries; nine factories generated foreign sales worth 6.6 million marks and domestic sales had risen to 23 million marks. By 1914, Siemens had formed subsidiaries in ten countries and had set up 168 branch offices in a further 49.
In 1897, the family enterprise re-formed as a stock corporation under the name Siemens & Halske AG, a move designed to procure a broader capital base for the company and enable it compete more effectively with a number of strong new rivals, including AEG. Power engineering, which had advanced alongside communications engineering to become the second main pillar of the company's operations, brought sustained growth until World War I. One key event that served to further this development occurred in 1903, when Siemens merged its power engineering activities with the company Elektrizitäts-AG vorm. Schuckert & Co., based in Nuremberg, to form Siemens-Schuckertwerke GmbH (which later became a stock corporation in 1927). Likewise in 1903, Siemens and AEG co-founded Telefunken, which rapidly took the lead in radio and, later, television. In 1913, Siemens achieved sales totalling 400 million marks, and its workforce numbered 63,000."""

Answer 2

please be conscious that the object cites that the engineer is a mechanical engineer who bargains customarily with HVAC, plumbing and hearth secure practices no longer a structural engineer. in spite of the reality that i could placed greater inventory in an engineer's opinion than a lay guy or woman I additionally recognize that no longer all engineers are created equivalent. additionally, the NIST did a working laptop or notebook form of the towers and concluded that the crumple became consistent with the form. If any study must be revisited that's in regard to the pentagon attack. whilst those homes have been thoroughly diverse in shape, the planes have been very lots an identical and their dying and ensuing forces from their destruction ought to have been comparable yet weren't. The planes that hit the towers had their fuselage fall apart as they plowed by using structural columns, place of work furnishings and four" thick floor slabs whilst the prop shafts shot rapidly by using; yet on the pentagon an identical variety of fuselage punched by using 5 stable masonry partitions, which had in basic terms been bolstered (the contractor's trailer became destroyed by ability of the impact), whilst the prop shafts doubtless bounced off without leaving a mark. the foremost is that i think the towers fell from the planes however the pentagon became "diverse".

Germany, after the first World War, experienced a reconstruction of their economy, government, and way of life itself. This reconfiguration was backed by American money. Capitalism along with industrialization flowed into German Society.

National Socialist Germany

Walter Eucken was a professor of economics at the University of Freiburg, Germany and an architect of the economic reforms that led to the Economic Miracle. In this article Eucken wanted to explain the problems and weaknesses of centrally administered economies such as that of National Socialist (Nazi) Germany and the Soviet Union.

The Nazi economic system developed unintentionally. The initial objective in 1932-33 of its economic policy was just to reduce the high unemployment associated with the Great Depression. This involved public works, expansion of credit, easy monetary policy and manipulation of exchange rates. Generally Centrally Administered Economies (CAE's) have little trouble eliminating unemployment because they can create large public works projects and people are put to work regardless of whether or not their productivity exceeds their wage cost. Nazi Germany was successful in solving the unemployment problem, but after a few years the expansion of the money supply was threatening to create inflation.

The Nazi Government reacted to the threat of inflation by declaring a general price freeze in 1936. From that action the Nazi Government was driven to expand the role of the government in directing the economy and reducing the role played by market forces. Although private property was not nationalized, its use was more and more determined by the government rather than the owners.

Eucken uses the case of the leather industry. An individual leather factory produces at the direction of the Leather Control Office. This Control Office arranged for the factory to get the hides and other supplies it needed to produce leather. The output of leather was disposed of according to the dictates of the Leather Control Office. The Control Offices set their directives through a process involving four stages:
