Abstract

[fre] Résumé Au milieu du XIXe siècle, les charbons de Grande-Bretagne dominaient les marchés régionaux de l'Allemagne du Nord. La baisse des coûts de transport par chemin de fer a permis aux fournisseurs allemands de pénétrer sur ces marchés et de limiter la prépondérance anglaise au cours des années 1880. Cependant, cette tendance a pris fin et, jusqu'en 1913, les ventes britanniques ont augmenté sans jamais recouvrer leur suprématie antérieure. Deux raisons essentielles expliquent cette reprise : les frets maritimes et intérieurs ont baissé davantage que les tarifs ferroviaires et la constitution des cartels a eu pour effet d'augmenter exagérément les prix du charbon allemand par rapport à ceux du charbon anglais. [eng] Abstract In the middle of the 19th century, coal from Great-Britain was preponderated on the regional markets in Northern Germany. Declining transportation costs in overland haulage on rail allowed German suppliers to penetrate these markets and to undermine the British predominance during the 1880's. But, this trend was broken and up to 1913, British coal recovered strongly without ever gaining its former preponderance again. There were mainly two reasons for this recovery : freight rates on sea and inland waterways declined lower than those on railways and cartelization tended to raise the prices of German coal immoderately compared to British coal.
