Politics and Culture in Wilhelmine Germany - The Case of Industrial Architecture (Hardcover, First)

Written against the backdrop of a lively and ongiong debate on the relative modernity of the Kaiserreich, this book explores the relationship between politics and culture in turn-of-the-century Germany through the unusual medium of industrial architecture, which for a time brought together the disparate worlds of politics, art and commerce. It focuses in particular on the efforts of reformers to improve the quality and character of the industrial workplace during the period when Germany was overtaking the UK as Europe's leading manufacturing power. While the book should be of interest to all students of Wilhelmine history, its interdisciplinary approach and topicality in the light of modern society's increasing concern with health, safety and environmental issues should also attract a wider readership.
