Main idea

Map of the Coal supply in the German Empire, in 1881.
  • To study the coal supply of the German Empire for the year 1881.
  • Interactive visualization of the main coal production and consumption centres.
  • Visualization of dynamic coal transport flows according to the different mining basins and transport routes.
  • Creation of a website to present the results.

Further possible upgrades

  • Compare the supply of the time with an optimized computerized supply.
  • Further analyze coal consumption data by city in relation to the main industries of the time.
  • Observe the correlation of coal production and consumption at the time with the level of subsequent economic development of cities, in an attempt to quantify the economic impact of this strategic resource.

Main steps
