This system of Guildmanship is still strong in Germany. Especially in physical labor or artistry like carpentry or painter. The average duration of apprenticeship is around 4 years. The apprentice still calls his or her mentor and boss "Master". A remnant of medieval times carried over to the modern. The company that take in the apprenticeship pays the full health insurance with all the benefits but the apprentice mostly won't receive a salary in return. At the end of their training the apprentice has to present their master work if it is a programmer or masterpiece if carpenter or artisan. If his or her master approves of the apprentice work, the guild will grand the apprentice the status of "Geselle" which is basically a graduate of its profession. Than the company either hires the Geselle or lets him or her go to apply for a job at another company or firm.
What if the "master" decides they don't want to get rid of a skilled tradesperson or actually pay them and refuses to approve the apprentice's final project?

In gr 6 I was the only one in the class who knew what a guild was, my knowledge came from the thieves guild in dark alliance lol who said video games weren't educational !
Knowledge and power therefore they had the control. Also why guilds took years to become a master member. Didnt want to give away knowledge to someone who wasnt down for the cause.
Yeah but Unions are cooperatives trying to make negotiations between owners and employees. A guild is an organization of tradesmen or artisans who have a common goal in mind.
James McGuire, I can't reply directly, but what you have written isn't quite accurate. Guilds existed as anti-competition protective-agencies in the later Middle Ages. Thus, they preceded the Renaissance. Further, the Renaissance was a continuation--a philosophical outcome--of the spirit of innovation that took root in the High Middle Ages. They were not polar opposites, at all.
antharch Mostly I support you, but to label them as 'anti-competition' would be inaccurate. When you look at medieval an early modern guild archives, you'll notice a great many of lawsuits against other guild (protective as you say), but they also tried to compete with other towns.
ndkblackhawk "other towns" That's partly what I meant by anti-competition. However, they also had rules restricting the hours that fellow guild-member were allowed to work -- reducing output, and hence, competition. In addition, they had rules restricting multiple-occupations. In other words, controlling the supply line. For example, chandlers rely on butchers to supply fat for tallow, and tanners rely on butchers for hides, and saddlers on tanners for tanned hides. By ensuring that an artisan could not also secure a monopoly on needed supplies, they attempted to reduce competition. Those strategies operated within towns.
Thank you for the wonderful podcasts! I love the pictures you use and the way you keep it simple for the kids. I teach 5th grade in California and will use several in class.
Does anyone know to what extent guilds from different towns were interconnected? For example, lets say tailors in a particular town were renowned for producing better goods than others, was there any method or desire to become 'accredited' by that particular guild rather than by a local one? Was there rivalry?
Since I am the middle schooler here, I think it is interesting learning about the guilds back then *dont think i am a nerd but it is quite interesting* *ngl, the talking was boring, but it helped me with my work so LMAOO XD*
Guilds were made during the renaissance not the medieval dark ages. They functioned similar to workers unions today and were marked by fair wages for employees as well as fair prices for customers, something obviously prevalent in the renaissance, not the serfdom of the medieval times. Why do people always confuse the RENAISSANCE and the MEDIEVAL TIMES who are polar opposites!!!
Our teacher told us to watch the video 2 times to understand everything better ... but I've seen it 100 times just for the intro

That intro hit hard

Mind if I take this for a project?
Know what else is a remnant of medieval times? Landlords and rent.
"Mostly wont receive a salary" how will he survive for those 4 years?
What if the "master" decides they don't want to get rid of a skilled tradesperson or actually pay them and refuses to approve the apprentice's final project?

90% of these comments are middle schoolers just bored because their teacher assigned this, and are deciding to comment on this video Imao

@@ahegaojosuke3250 ha middle schooler
Great presentation. Very informative and interesting. I look forward listening to others. Thank you for sharing 😀
What masterpiece would a journeyman of a merchants guild have to produce in order to get recognition from his guild?
He's going to bring them with money
Ok I have an history test tomorrow and I needed this thank youuu

bro the aspect ratio is crazy was this what youtube was like in 2013
i love the song at the start
For some reason, guilds sounds very similar to specific different groups of workforce who joins in different "unions" of today. Good explanation.

this is epic
THE INTRO IS THE BEST THING EVER
Clearly I have enjoyed this, especially the intro
Thank you for that video. ♥️ ♥️
Anyone want to make a guild. Don’t know why kind but we should bring back guilds
Do you think guilds were economically efficient? Would it make sense for them to come back or should they have phased out?
My teacher assigned me to watch these videos and then she will ask questions to my class
oi naufal

antharch That's correct, can't add much to that.
Very good explanation
ni empiecen
whats the name of the intro song, cause damn
this video is dope
11 years ago...wow. I was in 6th grade when this was made.
wow
Thank you for the wonderful podcasts! I love the pictures you use and the way you keep it simple for the kids. I teach 5th grade in California and will use several in class.
So there were't guilds in Village Manors, only Town Manors?
Does anyone know to what extent guilds from different towns were interconnected? For example, lets say tailors in a particular town were renowned for producing better goods than others, was there any method or desire to become 'accredited' by that particular guild rather than by a local one? Was there rivalry?
There was a level rivalry. I recommend "Guilds and Wage Labor in Medieval Europe" by Steven Epstein
@@anneonymous4884 Thanks for the book recommendation. There are surprisingly few books on this subject.
Unlike the earlier (Roman) guilds which were basically like Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street, until Charlemagne said "stop this crap RIGHT NOW"
Yes, I did enjoy it.
Is enyone else here because of school 🏫
Teacher just assigned this... FUCK
Hey hey people

Guilds?! Guilds?! So I was actually right the whole time in the medieval times it was just like dungeons and dragons.
Smokey Brown that’s uh where they got the ideas for the game
@@kadenrodrigues3745 it's a joke
I Can't believe they made the guilds from DND into a real thing!
Thumbs up for G.D.H. Cole!!!

Why do people always confuse the RENAISSANCE and the MEDIEVAL TIMES who are polar opposites!!!
why watch this 5 min video about the medieval ages when you can learn the history of the entire world in 20 min?
@Aryan Thakur im not though
You can learn about what happens in this specific time period instead of it being quickly glossed over. Also, for school.
how is this for middle school. Im in ap euro and the textbook is so fuckin useless I have to watch a middle school video that is actually more helpful
