- W2944682266 abstract "For a long time, it has been said that Rhine transport plays an important role in DutchGerman economic ties. Nevertheless, this has never been the subject of statisticalresearch. This essay aims to fill this gap for the period 1919-1933. To do so, it chartsDutch, German, Belgian and French freight traffic, both by Rhine barge and by train.Statistical data shows that on the lower Rhine, Dutch ships were in the majority from1925-on, while on the middle and upper Rhine – where German ships were in themajority – the Dutch share increased significantly as the 1920s progressed. By the endof the decade, Dutch barges were in the majority in overall Rhine shipping. Throughoutthe period, Belgian and French Rhine shipping was – in comparison – negligible.However, given that – for various reasons – by the end of the 1920s at least 39% of theDutch Rhine fleet was actually owned by Germans, the „Dutch‟ superiority in numbersis more a sign of how the Dutch and German economies were interwoven than anythingelse.Rhine shipping concentrated on the Ruhr. The image of the Ruhr as centre ofGerman economic activity is confirmed by German internal transport, where bothinland shipping as well as rail freight was focused on the Ruhr. The majority ofGerman exports that was sent by railroad transport also originated in the Ruhr, withonly German imports by rail freight being less oriented on the Ruhr itself, and more onthe extended Ruhr area, which in addition to the Ruhr consisted of the Rheinprovinzand Westphalia. Although transport between the Netherlands and Germany was almostentirely over the Rhine, the Dutch had an important share in rail freight, alternatingwith France for first place while Belgian railroad transport was consistently less thanDutch railroad freight.This essay therefore concludes that the economic structure and internationaleconomic ties of Germany find a strong expression in the transport sector, withGermany‟s economic heartland clearly being the Ruhr area. Although transport to andfrom Belgium and France was also concentrated on the (extended) Ruhr area, for bothGermany as a whole and the Ruhr area in particular it was transport to and from theNetherlands that was – by a large margin – the most important. Of all this transport, thevast majority was via Rhine shipping, making the Rhine truly the backbone of DutchGerman economic relations." @default.
