Intermediate master
An intermediate master is someone who passes on or distributes the work assigned to him to home workers or house traders . The interim master is usually not an employee in the social law sense. In the textile industry, interim masters are required, among other things, for the preparation of the serial production of sample collections.
Intermediate mastery in fashion
An intermediate master's shop is a tailoring or skinning shop that does not produce for end customers , but rather makes clothing for fashion designers , clothing manufacturers or retailers.
The numbers of individual collections are usually low, so production in low-wage Asian countries is often not worthwhile. Such companies still produce in Europe, close to their customers. This results in a high level of dependence on the local market.
In Berlin, a traditional focus of the intermediate master workshop (many clothing shops , the fashion fair “ Durchreise ” with origins as far back as the 19th century), the number of tailors sank from 81 in 2000 to only 31 in 2004. The intermediate master workshop was in its prime the main quarter of fur and textile manufacture around Hausvogteiplatz . Since Berlin is now an up-and-coming fashion location, the market for intermediate supervisors is currently getting somewhat larger again.
Intermediate master system of glassblowers
The interim master system of the Lausitz glassworks is cited as the reason why "there were no serious labor disputes" before 1914. It ended in 1918 with the "transfer of tools and implements" by the master glassmakers, who "were no longer independent in their workshop within the framework of their group". From this point on, the master glassmakers were considered workers and no longer hired their assistants and carriers themselves.
