The aim of the following contribution is to examine the fi nances of the Early modern city of Kołobrzeg through the prism of its debts. This is possible thanks to the Credit Tabelle der Stadt Colberg from the year 1718 containing information concerning credits raised by the city from various debt holders. The article shows the tragic fi nancial condition of Pomeranian towns and the attempts to heal them undertaken by the authorities. Thanks to this table, one obtain information not only about Kołobrzeg’s expenses for which the city took credits, but also about the mortgage and whether the credits were paid off. This source also allows an insight into the Prussian state politics penetrating not only the administrative, but also economically-fi nancial affairs of Pomeranian towns in order to unify them with the rest of the country.
