  Zollverein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zollverein (German for "customs union") or German Customs Union was formed between the 39 states of the German Confederation in 1834 during the Industrial Revolution to remove internal custom barriers, although upholding a protectionist tariff system with foreign trade partners.
The Zollverein was effectively ended in 1866 with the advent of the Austro-Prussian War; a new organization with the same name was brought about in 1867 when peace was restored.
The Zollverein had been originally established by Prussia early in the 19th century.
