VORTRAG | Technologischer Fortschritt im Absolutismus
In the organizer's words:
Carl Theodor's bog cultivation in the Bavarian Donaumoos
In the years of his Bavarian rule from 1780 to 1799, Carl Theodor showed himself to be an absolutist ruler with ambition and an accomplished politician of small but feasible steps. He laid the decisive foundations for Bavaria's further development into a modern industrial state. An important contribution to his reforms was the draining of the Bavarian Danube moss, as Carl Theodor decided to cultivate the largest moorland area in southern Germany. For this project, his advisors and he himself undertook a training trip to Italy in 1783 to drain the Pontine Marshes. This led to the necessary transfer of technology and an assessment of the socio-economic consequences of the large-scale project. Carl Theodor thus initiated a development in the Donaumoos that still occupies state politics today.
