Von der langjährigen Pflege eines europaweiten Handelsnetzwerks über die Einführung technischer Innovationen bis zum Überwinden von Kriegs- und Krisenzeiten: Die Rohstoffverzeichnisse von GF der Jahre 1899 bis 1932 mit ihren nüchternen Zahlenreihen erzählen bei näherem Hinschauen facettenreiche Firmen- und Weltgeschichte. Der Artikel bietet anhand dieser umfangreichen Quelle einen Überblick über die Herkunft und Beschaffung der in den GF-Werken in Schaffhausen verwendeten primären Rohstoffe sowie über inner- und ausserbetriebliche Entwicklungen und Ereignisse in den drei Jahrzehnten von der Jahrhundertwende bis zur Weltwirtschaftskrise zu Beginn der 1930er-Jahre. (From the long-standing cultivation of a Europe-wide trading network to the introduction of technical innovations to overcoming times of war and crisis: the raw materials directories of GF from 1899 to 1932 with their sober series of figures speak of a multifaceted company and world history, on closer inspection. Using this extensive source, the article provides an overview of the origin and procurement of the primary raw materials used in the GF plants in Schaffhausen, as well as internal and external developments and events in the three decades from the turn of the century to the global economic crisis at the beginning of the 1930s.)
