Berlin and the City-land-continuum in Prussia

笔者近年来对柏林和普鲁士城市土地连续体的研究，勾勒出世纪末柏林地区的城市化和普鲁士泰尔托区城郊乡村自治的基本面貌。首先，本文以柏林-安哈尔特和柏林-德累斯顿两条铁路线为例，对城市郊区交通网络进行了概述，从北到南穿过特尔托区这一部分还包括对柏林地区通勤者（Pendler）的调查。其次，我的研究的一个重要部分调查了郊区乡村自治的显著进步，因为柏林的城市化伴随着周围城镇和村庄自治的发展。这涉及到对波茨坦档案（Brandenburgisches Landeshauptarchiv波茨坦）中的主要材料的分析。本研究最后对日本的普鲁士史研究提出了一些批评性的建议。

My recent research into Berlin and the City-land-continuum in Prussia outlines the urbanization of the Berlin region and the self government of the suburban country villages in the Prussian district Teltow at the end of the nineteenth century.As the result of my study, I have come to the following conclusions ; Firstly, my study gives and outline of subruban traffic networks with reference to two railway lines, the Berlin-Anhalt and the Berlin-Dresden, which crossed the Teltow district from north to south. This part also contains a survey of commuters (Pendler) in the Berlin area.Secondly, an essential part of my study surveys the remarkable progress of self government in the suburban country villages, since the urbanization of Berlin was accompanied by the development of self government in the towns and villages around it. This involves an analysis of the primary materials in the Potsdam Archive (Brandenburgisches Landeshauptarchiv Potsdam). This study ends with some critical suggestions with regard to Japanese research into Prussian history.
