description: Das vorliegende Tabellenwerk ist die erste größere Publikation der im Institut für Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeschichte der Universität Göttingen durchgeführten Forschungen zur historischen Gewerbestatistik Preußens und Deutschlands vor 1850. Diese Forschungen wurden im Rahmen von der DFG geförderten Schwerpunktes "Quellen und Forschungen zur historischen Statistik von Deutsch¬land" durchgeführt. Ihr längerfristiges Ziel war die Erarbeitung einer möglichst umfassenden, sektoral und regional gegliederten historischen Gewerbestatistik Preußens sowie Deutschlands vor 1850. Das erste Tabellenwerk konzentrierte sich auf den Bereich Bergbau, Hüttenwesen und Salinen (Bd. 1). Weitere Tabellenwerke betrafen das Textilgewerbe (Bd. 2) sowie „Ausgewählte Gewerbe“ (Bd. 3: Bau und Ausbau, Bekleidung, Leder, Metallverarbeitung, Holzverarbeitung, Nahrung und Genuss). „Ziel der vorliegenden Veröffentlichung ist es, auf der Grundlage der breit herangezogenen Quellen das Berg-, Hütten- und Salinenwesen in Preußen vor 1850 möglichst umfassend und sachlich, zeitlich wie räumlich differenziert quantitativ (statistisch) darzustellen. Beabsichtigt ist also eine Totalerfassung der vorliegenden zeitgenössischen Daten auf der Grundlage einheitlicher Fragestellungen und Methoden“ Kaufhold, K.H./Sachse, W. (Hrsg.), a.a.O., S. III ff).Die Gliederung des Bandes folgt im Tabellenteil zunächst nach den drei großen Produktbereichen: Bergbau (A), Hüttenwesen (B) und Salinenwesen (C). Diese sind – in sich jeweils gleich - unterteilt nach den Erhebungsräumen (Preußen insgesamt = 1, Preußen nach Hauptbergdistrikten = 2, einzelne Bergamtsbezirke und andere Erhebungsgebiete = 3). Preußen hatte fünf Hauptbergdistrikte: 1. Brandenburg-preußischer Hauptbergdistrikt, 2. Schlesischer Hauptbergdistrikt, 3. Niedersächsisch – thüringischer Hauptbergdistrikt, 4. Westfälischer Hauptbergdistrikt und5. Rheinischer Hauptbergdistrikt.Für die drei Erhebungsräume (jeweils gegliedert nach „Preußen insgesamt“ und den fünf Hauptbergdistrikten) folgen einzelnen Produkttabellen, die jeweils in derselben Reihenfolge aufgenommen wurden:Produktgruppe A, Bergbau: (1) Eisenerze und Eisensteine; (2) Kupfererze, (3) Bleierze; (4) Silbererze; (5) Zinkerze (Galmei und Blende); (6) Kobalterze; (7) Arsenikerze; (8) Antimonerze; (9) Manganerze; (10) Alaunerze; (11) Vitriolerze; (12) Steinkohlen; (13) Braunkohlen; (14) Graphit; Produktgruppe B, Hüttenwesen: (1) Eisenhüttenproduktion; (2) Roheisen; (3) Rohstahleisen; (4) Gusswaren; (5) Stabeisen und gewalztes Eisen; (6) Eisenbleche; (7) Eisendraht; (8) Rohstahl; (9) Silber; (10) Blei; (11) Glätte; (12) Gewalzte Bleiplatten; (13) Garkupfer; (14) Kupfer; (15) Messing; (16) Zink; (17) Barren- und Plattenzink; (18) Zinkbleche; (19) Blaue Farbe (Smalte oder Kobalt); (20) Arsenik; (21) Antimonium; (22) Alaun; (23) Kupfervitriol; (24) Eisenvitriol; (25) Gemischter Vitriol; (25) Schwefel. Produktgruppe C, Salinenwesen: (1) Salinensalz; (2) Weißes Kochsalz; (3) Schwarzes und gelbes Salz; (4) Düngesalz (Gips). 
In den Tabellen sind entsprechend dem Quellencharakter des Werkes die zeitgenössischen Produktkategorien weitestgehend beibehalten worden. Umgruppierungen schieden aber auch aus praktischen Gründen aus, denn neue Definitionen dieser Kategorien waren nachträglich nicht mehr sinnvoll möglich. Lediglich im Bereich des Hüttenwesens sind gelegentlich (etwa bei Eisen, Kupfer und Messing) auch Teile der Weiterverarbeitung mit enthalten; in ähnlicher Weise gilt dies für einige Halbzeuge (Bleche, Draht) sowie bei der hüttenmännischen Produktion von Chemikalien, bei der z. T. die Erzeugung chemischer Fabriken erfasst ist, die sich davon nicht trennen ließ. Auf solche Abweichungen wird in den Tabellen jeweils hingewiesen.Im Wesentlichen wurden folgende Größen (= Variablen) in die Tabellen aufgenommen:(1) Produktionsanlagen, Produktionsapparat; (2) Produktionsmengen (in aller Regel wurde die gesamte Produktion/Förderung eines Jahres erfasst); (3) Produktionswert; (4) Beschäftigte (Jahresdurchschnitte); (5) Familienangehörige.

description: The present table collection is one of the hugest publications of the institute for economic and social history of the University of Göttingen about the historical industrial statistics of Prussia and Germany before 1850. These investigations were done in the context of the focus field “Sources and research on historical statistics of Germany” subsidized by the DFG. The long term objective was the development of a comprehensive, sectorial and geographically divided historical industrial statistics of Prussia and Germany before 1850. The first table collection is focused on the sectors coal mines, steel mills and salt works (Bd. 1). Further table collections were about the textile branch (Bd. 2) and “different industries” (Bd.3: Construction, clothing, leather, metal processing, wood processing, food and beverage).“The objective of the present publication is to present the sectors coal mines, steel mills and salt works quantitatively (statistically) as comprehensive as possible and detailed in time and geographical areas. A full registration of the contemporary data is intended on the basis of uniform approaches and methods” (Kaufhold, K.H./Sachse, W. (Hrsg.), a. cit., p. III ff).The structure of the publication is divided in three huge production areas: coal mines (A), steel mills (B) and salt works (C). Each of these parts is subdivided in the same way. (Prussia altogether = 1, Prussia by main districts = 2, single districts and other territories = 3).Prussia had five main districts: 1. Brandenburg-Prussian main district, 2. Silesian main district, 3. Low Saxon - Thuringian main district, 4. Westphalian main district and 5. Rhenish Main district.All three production areas (each subdivided by “Prussia altogether” and the five main districts) have different tables with products, always listed in the same order:Product group A, coal mining: (1) Iron ores and iron ores, (2) copper ores, (3) lead ores,(4) silver ores, (5) zinc ores, (6) Cobalt ores,(7) arsenic ores , (8) antimony ores, (9) manganese ores, (10) alum ores, (11) vitriol ores, (12) coal, (13) lignite, (14) graphite;Product group B, steel mills: (1) iron and steel production, (2) pig iron, (3) crude iron, (4) castings, (5) bar iron and rolled iron, (6) iron sheets, (7) iron wire, (8) crude steel, (9) Silver, (10) lead, (11) smoothness, (12) rolled lead plates, (13) gar copper, (14) copper, (15) brass, (16) Zinc, (17) ingots and zinc plate; (18) Zinc sheets; (19) Blue color (smalt or cobalt); (20) Arsenic; (21) Antimony, (22) alum, (23) vitriol, (24) green vitriol, (25) mixed vitriol, (25) sulfur;Product group C, salt works: (1) saline salt, (2) white saline, (3) black and yellow salt, (4) manure salt (gypsum).The temporary product categories were maintained most of the times according to the type of source. Regroupings were not rejected because practical reasons, but because new definitions of categories were not applicable to the historical data. Only in the area of steel mills (for instance for iron, copper and brass) some parts of the further processing are included; similar cases are semi-finished products (sheets, wire) and metallurgical production of chemicals which partly contains the production of chemical fabrics that could not be separated. Deviations like this are announced.Most of the times the following Quantities (=Variables) were used in the tables:(1) Production equipment, production equipment; (2) production quantities (usually the entire production / promotion of a year were recorded); (3) production value; (4) Employees (annual averages); (5) family members.
