Eel on the move
Sturgeon, salmon, and eel—almost all of the fish species which guaranteed German inland fisheries a profitable living over the last centuries change habitats between oceans and rivers. The European eel follows one of the most spectacular migratory regimes: eels spend most of their lifespan in freshwater before returning to the sea to spawn and die. During their migration their motion, bodies, and nutritional value undergo a substantial transforma…
Von glotzäugigen Karpfen und taumelkranken Forellen
English abstract: Research in river and fisheries history has focused on the development of “scientific aquaculture” as an intellectual and global phenomenon. Historians examined how progressive “fish culturists” introduced artificial breeding of trout and carp as a scientific method that expanded across continents and inland waters at the end of the nineteenth century. However, little is known about what the development of a modern science of aq…
Waterpower romance
Even in the twenty-first century, myths of preindustrial forms of energy utilization are woven around watermills, waterwheels, and traditional millscapes. Along German watercourses, many grinding shops and hammer mills held on to waterwheels and delivered mechanical rather than electric power well into the twentieth century. It is not the case that the days of these “old technologies” (Edgerton 2008) were numbered as soon as hydroelectricity and …
Mikrogeschichte der Talsperre
Before the First World War, the dam architect Otto Intze flooded extensive valleys in western Germany’s low mountain ranges in order to provide the neighboring Ruhr district with water and electricity. Intze’s biography and his giant dams are wellrepresented in historical research.However, very little is known about the early phases of the dam-building boom before 1900. Taking a microhistorical approach, this article reconstructs the roots of one…
