German Workers' Movement

The German Workers' Movement was a social and political movement in 19th and early 20th-century Germany aimed at improving workers' rights, conditions, and social status. It emerged in response to industrialization’s challenges, advocating for fair wages, reasonable working hours, and social protections. The movement included various groups, such as socialist parties, trade unions, and reformers, seeking to represent workers’ interests within the political system. It played a significant role in shaping labor laws, promoting social justice, and contributing to Germany’s political and social development during that period.
