Strike in the German Empire

The Hamburg dockworkers' strike of 1896-97 was considered one of the largest labour disputes in the German Empire. It began on November 21, 1896, lasted eleven weeks, involved nearly 17,000 workers at its peak, and ended on February 6, 1897, with the complete defeat of the strikers. The dispute had a significant impact on the Hamburg economy and also caused a stir outside Germany.
