<P> From the 1830s and 1840s , Prussia , Saxony , and other states reorganized agriculture , introducing sugar beets , turnips , and potatoes , yielding a higher level of food production that enabled a surplus rural population to move to industrial areas . The beginning of the industrial revolution in Germany came in the textile industry , and was facilitated by eliminating tariff barriers through the Zollverein , starting in 1834 . The takeoff stage of economic development came with the railroad revolution in the 1840s , which opened up new markets for local products , created a pool of middle managers , increased the demand for engineers , architects and skilled machinists , and stimulated investments in coal and iron . The political decisions about the economy of Prussia ( and after 1871 , all of Germany ) were largely controlled by a coalition of `` rye and iron '' , that is the Junker landowners of the east and the heavy industry of the west . </P>
