Goods for the world. European Theme Route Manufacturing
Domestic handmade textile production was typical for the pre-industrial age. The father sat at the loom and the women of the family were responsible for spinning the yarn. An entrepreneur (in Germany he was called a "Verleger") delivered the raw material and organised sales, often over considerable distances.

The first types of factories grew up in the 17th century, when larger groups of workers were concentrated in so-called "manufactories".
