# Gründerzeit and Berlin Stock Exchange Opens

> Berlin's industrial boom and opening of the stock exchange marked Germany's emergence as Europe's industrial powerhouse.

## Summary

The Gründerzeit was a period of European economic history in mid- and late-19th century Germany and Austria-Hungary between industrialization and the great stock market crash of 1873. Its name is derived from the many incorporations of companies that occurred in the years between the Franco-Prussian War and the panic of 1873.
