"The working class saw improvements of living standard and other conditions (...) and in the long run also through the foundation of a Social Democracy that would remain the model for the European sister parties until Hitler's Machtübernahme in 1933."
This may be true but a source is strongly required for such a statement. --80.137.54.110 23:09, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Wrong content
editSorry, but this article is completely wrong. The term "Gründerzeit" is used for the economic boom period in central Europe from the 1840s to the big stock market crash of 1873. In the following period of economic depression, there was no place for "founders". Also the references to the history of architecture are at best colloquial: these designs are usually described as "eclecticism" or "historism" (Historismus being the usual german term). Even the pictures are wrong: if the houses are out of 1892 or the "early twentieth century" respectively, they are clearly not from this period. -- 62.178.220.23 15:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think you are wrong. Please read this if you understand any German. Anyway, there is the museum of Gründerzeit and the site names the starting year as 1871 and ending to the World War 1. So the content of the article is right. --Ufinne 16:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- See revised article which addresses these points. Also, if there is anyone interested in translating from the German - my English vocabulary is not up to it for certain words at the moment without a dictionary. docboat 03:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
"The huge stock market crash of 1873, (...) , put an abrupt end to this upswing," How can the image of the Leipziger house from 1892 be an illustration of this era, as it has then ended for almost 20 years?
The article mingles aspects of Historicism (concerning arts), of Wilhelminism (concerning politics & social development) and of (real) Gründerzeit (concerning economic development). I considered the underlying verbal confusion of "Gründerzeit" and "Reichsgründung" (1871) as a special german problem, but it seems to have grown european... ;-) --193.25.19.161 (talk) 18:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

editI have re-assessed the page from stub category to "B" class. I think it meets the conditions, but do feel free to re-assess lower if needed. docboat (talk) 03:37, 21 November 2007 (UTC) I've reassesed it as C because of the lack of references (criteria B1). I'll work on improving the article and finding sources. --Banime (talk) 18:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
