Der Euromarkt und die Internationalisierung der deutschen Banken
The tax exemption of interest revenues and the high level of professional secrecy were the unique selling points of Luxembourg for the German banking community. From the 1960s to the 1990s, they were the main causes for the rise of Luxembourg to one of the biggest euromarket places. The government of Luxembourg used these institutional factors to foster and accelerate the economic transformation from an industrial to a post-industrial country. Th…

The Munich Re
This paper analyzes the National Socialist policy towards insurance companies. The puropse of this paper is to examine the impact of Nazi economic policies on the scope and the scale of the world biggest reinsurance company Munich Re. Contrary to prior assumptions, the substantial foreign business of Munich Re was not seriously affected by the Nazi policy of autarchy and the strict regulation of currency transfers

Popular tourism in Western Europe and the US in the twentieth century
Historians have labelled the development of modern mass-consumer societies in Europe as a process of ‘Americanisation’. Until today, the consumption of immaterial goods like vacations has been rather neglected by historiography. The purpose of this article is to verify the hypothesis that the United States served as a role model for European vacationing patterns and the evolution of the European travel industry. The paper demonstrates that a simp…
Germany's National Socialist Transport Policy and the Claim of Modernity
The construction of the extensive motorway network by the Nazi regime has often been seen as a textbook example of a thorough motorisation policy. But the motorway construction took place under a transport policy that favoured public railroads at the expense of private road haulage companies. A strict regulation of freight rates prevented road hauliers from competing with railroads and gaining a greater share of the freight market. The division o…

New perspectives on the 1931 banking crisis in Germany and Central Europe
Until today, most research on the Great Depression has focused on the failures of monetary and currency policies. A new look at the Great Depression challenges the dominant research opinion that the credit contraction was the main cause for the aggravated depression. The big German banks did not reduce the amount of credit and defaulted because of their high write-offs on big loans. The write-offs occurred as a consequence of the insufficient mon…
Der Durchbruch des PKW zum Massenkonsumgut 1950-1964
Until now, research on the breakthrough of mass motorization has neglected the importance of the used car market. Empirical evidence proves that the used car market had a significant impact on the growth of car ownership and the purchase of cars among white and blue-collar workers. The transparency and flexibility of the used car market, the lack of price regulation and the degressive curve of used car prices facilitated car ownership among mediu…
The breakthrough of the package tour in Germany after 1945
Germany would have never become a leading tourist nation without the developing and brokering role of the travel companies.This article describes and assesses the evolution of the mass market for travel in the 1950s and 1960s and the prominent function of the tour operators.A theory of the package tour provides an analytical framework for understanding the business history of tourism and the revolution of tourism patterns in the post-war consumer…

National Cultures and International Competition. The Experience of Schering AG, 1851-1950
Christopher Kobrak has written an ambitious work that attempts to combine narrative business history with a deep overall assessment of German business culture.While he is only partially successful, his book is well worth reading, as a biting indictment of the German way of doing business.Kobrak argues that the German model of "cooperative capitalism," which can be called more accurately the "commonweal economy," is counterproductive.[1] He is cor…
