Abstract (eng)
This thesis presents a factually empiric analysis of the neglected financial plans and constellations of the Berndorfer Metallwaren Fabrik (BMF) (from profit reinvestments via family financing through the "German Krupp dynasty" and the house bank Schoeller up to financing by Credit-Anstalt and state interventions) from its foundation in 1843 to the "joining" to Nazi Germany in 1938. It gives an insight on the particular interdependencies of an industrial town or "Single Factory Town" called SFT-Berndorf, which only relied on the company BMF and the specific industry of nonferrous metal processing. Furthermore, it shows – supported by subjective scale and as their graphic adaptation in net diagrams – the influencing factors, stress ratios, networks and relationships between local company policy, self-pleasing patronage, tycoon's social and company policy, regional social economics, migration and employment policy, financial and industrial policy of bank. Finally, this thesis indicates the effects of economically liberal laws and guidelines of the state and their influence on local society.
