"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)

[edit] Wrong content

Sorry, 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)

I 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)
