Ludwig Loewe, the forgotten pioneer industrialist of imperial Berlin - Heidi Zogbaum
CHF 55,90 inkl. MwSt
lt;p>Ludwig Loewe (1837-1886) laid the foundations for mass production in the German metal industry with the help of American precision machinery. Instead of making sewing machines the German Army engaged the Loewe factory to make rifle parts which eventually led the Loewe conglomerate to become the largest small arms producer in Europe.


Despite Ludwig Loewe's pivotal role in Germany's pre-WW1 industrial success, only
sparse information on him and his work remains. His "Jewish enterprise" was expropriated
post-1933, falling under Günther Quandt's control, where it stayed post-WW2.
All company records and correspondence subsequently disappeared. However, when
the few remaining information fragments are contextualized, a fuller picture of this
extraordinary man emerges. A man who devoted much to his homeland, only for his
heirs to be exiled and stripped of everything.

Heidi Zogbaum served as an Adjunct Professor and Deputy Director of the Institute
of Latin American Studies at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, from 2008
to 2021. She is also a Fellow of The University of Melbourne's Department of Spanish
and Latin American Studies.
