Drei Monate Fabrikarbeiter und Handwerksbursche / Eine praktische Studie

A theology candidate goes undercover for three months in a large machine factory, working long hours and living alongside laborers to observe their daily existence. He documents their material conditions, the nature of the work, political agitation by social democrats, prevailing social and political attitudes, educational and religious life, and moral circumstances. The account combines first‑hand descriptions, reflections on causes and effects, and cautious conclusions with practical recommendations while warning against broad generalizations.
