there is a WIkipedia-article that is translated in German into "Handwerk": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_%28occupation%29 but you can already see by the content and length of the article that it is probably a stub. Compare to this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handwerk > I think the old word was a 'manufactory' from which factory came. Manufactories are an intermediate step from craft to industrialisation. They became frequent in the 17th and 18th century in pre-industrial times. Craft is something refering more to the middleages (but in Germany has lasted till today) ;-) cheers, Martin PS: Manufactory has an article in 21 languages, but not in English.
