This chapter is centered around the development of the German customs union, the Zollverein. Summarizing the recent literature, it emphasizes the strategic importance of fiscal concerns and geographic location for Prussian success after 1815 in using the customs unions of 1818 and 1834 to serve its own hegemonic interests as well as those of German economic integration. It further discusses Germany´s early industrialization as product of internal market integration, technological borrowing from abroad, and land and water transportation improvements.
Keywords: Prussian Customs Union of 1818, Zollverein, market integration, transportation improvements
