Foreign Trade of Galicia and Bukovina and Other Austrian Countries at the End of the 19th Century Based on German Railway Statistics

tions of Galicia and Bukovina1 and other Austrian countries at the end of the 19th century. In our deliberations, we will deal with the Galician trade exchange with foreign contractors from outside the Austro-Hungarian Empire customs area, the largest of which Galicia maintained with Germany. Not only are issues related to the export of goods by rail from Galicia and Bukovina to Germany presented, but also imports of goods from Germany to these countries. For comparative and cognitive purposes, the results obtained on the trade of Galicia and Bukovina with the German Empire were presented on a broader comparative background, primarily including also other countries of the Austrian monarchy, mainly the Czech Republic. Galicia, as a typically agricultural region, was for long a period of annexation the main supplier of agricultural and forestry products for the better-industrialized regions of Western Europe, including Germany. One of the elements of the analysis undertaken in this study is to determine the structure of trade with other countries, as well as to indicate the main directions of transport routes connecting Galicia with individual trade districts of Germany.
