Aus der Verlagsmeldung: „Die Lübecker Flandernfahrer in der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts stellen eine bedeutende Gruppe im gesamthansischen Handel der Stadt dar. Vor dem Hintergrund der Entwicklung Lübecks zur «Königin der Hanse» und Brügges zum «Weltmarkt» des Westens und der beiderseitigen handelspolitischen Kontakte untersucht der Autor diese Personengruppe. Die Grundlage hierfür stellt ein umfangreicher prosopographischer Katalog dar, der anhand der wichtigsten Quellen zum ersten Mal 161 Flandernfahrer dieses Zeitraums erfaßt. Eine Auswertung des Materials geschieht hinsichtlich der Herkunft und verwandtschaftlichen Beziehungen, der Vermögenslage und Memoria, der Handelsaktivitäten, Ämter und Berufe der Einzelpersonen und Gruppen. Deren enge Beziehungen untereinander stellen sich vielfach als ein regelrechtes Netzwerk heraus.“

The article investigates the economic links between the Italian trading companies Brentano, Guaita and Bolongaro, which migrated to Frankfurt on Main before 1700, and the Dutch trading centre Amsterdam. In the eighteenth century they operated branches in both cities and purchased mainly Italian goods and colonial goods from Amsterdam. However, the Amsterdam branches soon grew beyond the role of pure purchasing offices for goods for the German market and became involved in the Amsterdam stacking business and intra-European maritime trade. As a result, the representatives in Amsterdam succeeded in raising the company owners to the upper class there, with the Dutch branches often splitting off from their German parent companies after 1750. The detailed case study analysis here provides an illustration of the great importance of West German foreign trade with the Netherlands when Amsterdam connected the German hinterland to the Atlantic world economy.

The Dutch timber trade between the 17th and 19th centuries has already been the subject of many historical studies. However, with the exception of Dietrich Ebeling’s fundamental study and a mere handful of other publications, the relationship between the development of the capital-intensive timber wholesale trade and its protagonists has escaped the focus of scholars of economic history. This is astonishing, as the raising of enormous sums of up to 600.000 Reichstaler were required for the Dutch timber trade; sums hardly invested in any other commercial enterprise in Germany at that time. Therefore, the focus of this article is the wholesale timber traders of the 18th century. It includes a detailed analysis, on the basis of own archival research and previous studies, of how the timber wholesalers organised their business (corporate strategies, business practices etc.) and what long-term significance their revenue possessed for the economic development of the participating economic regions of West and South-West Germany. It is thus demonstrated that by about 1750, German timber wholesalers and the Black Forest timber companies had long since ousted their Dutch competitors, acquiring large fortunes. The Dutch timber trade also saw the spreading of capitalist practices (establishment and management of corporations, book keeping, new methods of credit financing etc.), forming an important building block for the further development of the South-West and West German economy. Undoubtedly most important, however, was the emergence of a risk-loving entrepreneurial class with a sufficient capital base and business acumen, which had long since broken away from the “artisanal” notion of self-rafting. Timber wholesalers often also invested assets acquired in the Dutch timber trade in other branches, and these often formed a focal point for the industrialisation of West and South-West Germany after 1815. It can therefore be said that in the 18th century not only did the Dutch timber trade possess an enormous volume, supporting West German economic growth from 1740 onwards, but that it also made a long-term contribution to the structural changes in economy and society in the 19th century.
