In their book Ekelund and Hebert (1999, p. xi) consider mainly the French 
econo-engineering tradition, deliberately neglecting the remarkable German 
group of engineer-economists. Wilhelm Launhardt (1832-1918) belongs to this 
group. He was Professor for roads, raylways and bridges and then Rektor at 
the Hanover Polytechnical Academy. He was well known in Germany as an 
expert of transportation networks, whose issues he treated from both the 
economic and the engineering viewpoints.
