Description
  • As in other European localities it selected from among economically stagnating regions, the Baťa concern’s activity in Upper Silesia was a turning point in the local history there. The concern was behind the transformation of Ottmuth from an agrarian and boating village into an industrial municipality, and later into a town (1954). The Baťa concern was not only responsible for Ottmuth’s urban transformation into a modern industrial municipality with the civic amenities of a small town, but also for the rapid growth of its population: While there were some 1,500 residents before the concern’s arrival, the population had doubled in less than a decade (2,900 residents in October 1937). Although the concern’s influence in the areas of population and urban development can be viewed as clearly positive, evaluating its activity in the economic sphere is more complicated. While certain economically acceptable principles of the Baťa business and production model were retained at the Otmęt plant—to the benefit of Poland’s postwar economy—at least until the replacement of machinery around 1970, and—as German trade oversight authorities were loath to concede—they had spread even before the war to other nearby plants as well (e.g. the Moll company in the town of Brieg/Brzeg), the concern apparently gave up on expansion on the German market already in the mid-1930s, even though it profited in subsequent years at least from war contracts. The postwar organization of Europe, the nationalization of the concern’s enterprises in Poland, and its inability to resume large-scale production in the Soviet or the Anglo-American zone on the territory of today’s Federal Republic of Germany significantly limited the Baťa concern’s subsequent activities on German territory.
