This paper presents the historical overview and spatial development of the district, called the Jewish City of Piotrków. Due to the important role of Piotrków Trybunalski, primarily as a royal city, and then as a Piotrków Governorate town, the source material for the article are selected relations of the city residents and prominent visitors. The image of the district that emerges from the available documents, does not deviate significantly from the development of similar areas in these Polish cities that have been granted by privilegium de non tolerandis Judaeis.

W tekście został przedstawiony zarys historyczny i przestrzenny rozwój rewiru zamieszkałego przez starozakonnych, potocznie zwanego Żydowskim Miastem Piotrkowem. Z racji pełnionej przez Piotrków Trybunalski ważnej funkcji, najpierw jako miasta królewskiego, a następnie gubernialnego, bazą źródłową do napisania artykułu stały się wybrane relacje mieszkańców miasta i odwiedzających je prominentnych gości, a także fragmenty dokumentów urzędowych. Obraz dzielnicy, jaki wyłania się z dostępnych tekstów, znacząco nie odbiega od rozwoju podobnych obszarów w tych polskich miastach, które otrzymały privilegium de non tolerandis Judaeis.

For few hundred years Lublin developed as a multiethnic city, where Jews – among other minorities – played an important role, participating in process of creating the city's political and economic institutions and public life. Jews had inhabited a separated district, Podzamcze, since the 16th century and, after 1862, the Old Town and other districts as well. While Jews eventually could be found throughout Lublin by the interwar period, the former boundaries between the "Jewish" and "Christian" parts of the city remained strongly imprinted in social and cultural memory. They were an important element in local heritage and affected the everyday life of the city inhabitants. This article analyses the imaginative boundaries that delineated the "Jewish" district of Lublin in the pre-World War II period. Drawing on oral testimonies of residents who have personal recollections from the 1920s and 1930s, it documents the processes by which individuals invoke urban border markers to situate communities spatially, and in so doing invest those markers with cultural difference. Describing the Jewish district as "different" and thus culturally separated is an important element of an of Lublin's historical discourse, and is central to understanding the complex issues connected with the former ethnic and religious diversity of Lublin. The article also contributes to theoretical issues involving borders, borderlands and multicultural spaces or places.
