The second factor, created by the trade of Hamburg, is the tire-j less spirit of enterprise, the energy displayed in all directions and the far-reaching outlook of the IIam- byrg merchant: There is no coun- try to which the web of his activi- ty has not extended its threads nor in which some of the sons of Hanseatic Hamburg are not
engaged as traders. Hamburg families are dispersed over the entire world, and a vast proportion of the total exchange of commo- dities, in all parts of the globe is! due to the brains and hands of Hamburg men. Before the war, Hamburg had a right to be proud of her position as one of the lead- ing commercial ports of the world, as is clearly seen from the sub- joined figures:
Whilst imports in 1873 did not. exceed 18.2 million dz.. (1 dz. 100 kilogr.), the value of which was 887.5 million Marks, By the year 1913 this had risen to 185.5 million dz. of 4.7 milliards of Marks in value. Export via Hamburg show- ed a similar development: 1893 this was' but' 26.4 dz, with a value of 13 milliards of Marks but by 1913 it had already touched 89.1 millions dz., with a value of 3.9 milliards of Marks.
In
Whilst the tide of this flourish- ing condition Was abruptly stemmed by the war, the Hamburg merchant has yet succeeded, in conjunction with hig Oversca friends, in re-establishing inter- national, trade with Germany, And German finance can indeed only support the enormous burdens imposed upon her in the form of reparations by the Dawes Plan, provided, in accordance with that plan, her exports shall find their way beyond the seas.
Trade Quota.
From that same standpoint, it is hence a matter for congratula- tion, that Hamburg importers and exporters have succeeded in find- ing means and ways to reanimate the current of international trade and to conduct it to a large extent once more over Hamburg. On a weight basis, importation via Iam- burg amounted in 1925-6 to one fourth of the total imports into Germany. The export through Hamburg to foreign countries reached one fifth, in some commo- dities one sixth, of the entire ex- portation. Taking the correspond- ing values as our basis, Hamburg's |
