Abstract

In summer 1871 the Episcopal Ordinariate of the Diocese of Mainz demanded information on the conditions of the industrial workers from the local parish priests. It was an unprecedented initiative in German Catholicism, due to the pronounced interest of Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler, the "social" bishop of Mainz, in the situation of the working class. The paper reconstructs the origin of this survey and analyzes the content of the reports of the diocesan clergy.
