Ravensburg Company - Ravensburg Company (English name) Grosse Ravensburger Handelsgesellschaft
One of the early modern South German trading companies. It was founded around 1380 in Ravensburg, a city on Lake Constance, by the union of three merchant families. Originally engaged in the linen textile trade, it gradually expanded into various other trades, and by the end of the 15th century had grown into a large company with assets of 132,000 gold guilders. It also had a wide network of branches, including Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France, and the Netherlands, and was called the "big German company" by Italians and Spaniards. It did not expand much into finance or mining, which differed from the large South German capitals of the Fuggers and Welsers. It lost influence over time, and was dissolved in 1530.

近代初期の南ドイツの商事会社の一つ。ボーデン湖畔の都市ラーフェンスブルクで 1380年頃3つの商家が結合して誕生した。元来は麻織物取引を営んでいたが,次第に各種の取引に進出し,15世紀末期には資産 13万 2000金グルデンに達する大会社に成長した。その支店網も広く,スイス,イタリア,スペイン,フランス,オランダに及び,イタリア人,スペイン人から「ドイツ人の大会社」と呼ばれた。金融業と鉱山業への進出度が少く,この点でフッガー家,ウェルザー家などの南ドイツ大資本と異なる。時代が進むとともに勢力を失い,1530年に解散。
