This work describes origins and the development of the modern cooperative system in the area of the Tschech Republic and Germany and deals with their common and differing qualities. The thriving of the cooperative societies was partly interrupted, or even negativly influenced by two world wars. Their decline in the Tschech Republic and the former German Democratic Republic after World War II and the following forced collectivization of the agriculture in both countries bild another focus of this work. This was the beginning of the producers' cooperatives which were established regarding the Russian imagination of a socialistic agriculture. The transformation of the producers' cooperatives after the political changes in 1989 was similar in both countries. It was stamped by the differing judgements of the people involved in this process. In spite of the repeated set backs in the past it seems that the cooperative societies will still be competitive in the the future.
