The 19th century: The era of industrialization
Europe is reorganized at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. The "bourgeois century" begins. Municipal self-government, industrialization, urban growth and modernization and the emergence of the labour movement in Offenbach are milestones in the city's development. The "long" 19th century ends in 1918 with the fall of the great European empires in the First World War.
