Abstract: This article deals with the literature on German cartels in the heavy industry and their perception in scientific literature of the 19th and early 20th century, as well as in historical studies. The first part of this article starts with a short periodic overview of their development, followed by an overview of how the definition of cartels has evolved, and ends with an overview of contemporary and historical literature and the criticism each of them evoked. The second part of the article presents the central interpretations of the cartel movement in Germany. Finally, the article analyses the impact of cartels on competition and economic development and attempts to highlight the problems modern research should be aware of when analysing the significance of German cartels in the historical context, as well as the academic voids of modern research.
