Summary
Emigration from the Habsburg Empire and the German-speaking states was a midsize phenomenon in the nineteenth century that has so far received little attention. Especially during pauperization up to the 1848 revolution, poverty migration from Central Europe by artisans was widespread, but barely documented. As of mid-century, it affected mostly the peripheral Habsburg provinces, whereas workers from the more developed regions and Germany mostly only emigrated with specialist labor opportunities awaiting or for adventure. Lower-class emigrants could relate to their country of origin and of residence in a myriad of different ways that cannot be subsumed under "integration" vs. "diaspora."
