| Research Abstract |
My recent research into Berlin and the City-land-continuum in Prussia outlines the urbanization of the Berlin region and the self government of the suburban country villages in the Prussian district Teltow at the end of the nineteenth century.
As the result of my study, I have come to the following conclusions ; Firstly, my study gives and outline of subruban traffic networks with reference to two railway lines, the Berlin-Anhalt and the Berlin-Dresden, which crossed the Teltow district from north to south. This part also contains a survey of commuters (Pendler) in the Berlin area.
Secondly, an essential part of my study surveys the remarkable progress of self government in the suburban country villages, since the urbanization of Berlin was accompanied by the development of self government in the towns and villages around it. This involves an analysis of the primary materials in the Potsdam Archive (Brandenburgisches Landeshauptarchiv Potsdam). This study ends with some critical suggestions with regard to Japanese research into Prussian history.
