The Polish-Teutonic conflict in the years 1454–1466 influenced in every way the State of the Teutonic Order in Prussia. Changes were related to methods of management of the economy and finance in the State of the Teutonic Order in Prussia that was considerably smaller after the second Peace of Thorn. Starting from the 80s 15th c. and ending with the first decade of the next century, Great Masters tried to change this situation or adapt to the needs of the state which was being transformed into the decentralized and secular one. The actions of the Great Masters led to remodeling the corporation by the restoration of internal order on the basis of the Rules of Teutonic Order and previous corporate governance of the religious type (as the one by The Thirteen Years’ War). However, the activities of the last two Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order in Prussia were focused on the reform and strengthening the state as an entity more territorial and feudal than corporate. In the years 1480–1500, a new policy was introduced which aimed at conversion of the State of the Teutonic Order and its economy from corporate entity in the secular state.

Unlike the establishments in Teutonic domains, private farms which emerged in Prussia after the end of the Thirteen Years’ War in 1466 were usually part of larger estates that comprised several farms, inns, mills or even villages. Both types of establishments were set up on territories and in estates formerly owned by the Teutonic Knights. After 1466, the Order made attempts to dispose of those resources which were rented to tenants or sold, generating considerable proceeds for the Teutonic Knights. The management of those assets was an important element of the Order’s internal financial policy after the Thirteen Years’ War with Poland which drenched the country. In Teutonic Prussia, private farms, allocated by the Teutonic Knights on unsettled territories (wußte Hube) or started after village and town rights had been granted by feudal authorities, enjoyed a favorable climate for economic growth. The allocations made under the Magdeburg Law provided farmers with more rights and privileges than the laws enacted before 1440. Most estates spanned the area of 10 to 40 lans of arable land. The settlers were awarded minor and major rights to try and punish serfs in their estates, and they were often exempt from a part of their financial obligations to the lords. Large estates comprising several collaborating farms and businesses flourished in Teutonic Prussia after the Second Peace of Thorn. Most of them had a single owner who derived significant financial gain from the expansion of farm estates. Farms were units of agricultural production in larger estates and territorial holdings.

Manor farms (folwarks) in the Teutonic Kommende of Malbork (initially, also a small number of farms in the Teutonic Kommende of Dzierzgoń from a subsequently annexed territory) developed after the establishment of Teutonic administration units in the discussed area: Teutonic Kommende, and later Vogtei, Procuratoria and smaller administrative units responsible for economic affairs, including forestry and fisheries offices. A characteristic feature of the Teutonic Kommende of Malbork, which was generally not encountered in other Teutonic lands, was that most demesne farms were situated in the headquarters of Vogt, Procurator and other Teutonic officers. They were important economic hubs which generated revenues not only for the Malbork Kommende, as well as centers of local Teutonic administration, in particular in the initial period of their existence.

Material culture in this aspect relates primarily to the equipment of utility rooms connected with kitchen utensils of different kind kept in castles – kitchen equipment, dishes of everyday use as well as tableware to be used during the grand masters’ ceremonial feasts. It is significant to mention the period analysed since the turn of the 14th and the 15th centuries is the time in which the largest food supplies noted in the sources were gathered in the larders of Teutonic castles. Moreover, the trade and economic organization of the Order of Teutonic Knights was strongly developing. State of the Teutonic Order had a strong position in the European trade market at that time.

Kultura materialna rozpatrywana w niniejszym opracowaniu dotyczy przede wszystkim wyposażenia pomieszczeń gospodarczych związanych z przechowywanymi na zamkach krzyżackich różnego rodzaju utensyliami kuchennymi – sprzętem kuchennym, naczyniami użytku codziennego, a także zastawą stołową przeznaczoną na uczty komturów i wielkich mistrzów. Nie bez znaczenia jest również przedział czasowy poddany analizie, bowiem przełom XIV i XV wieku jest to okres, w którym źródła zawierają najwięcej informacji na temat zapasów zgromadzonych w spiżarniach zamków krzyżackich. Ponadto, silnie rozwijająca się wówczas organizacja gospodarcza i handlowa zakonu krzyżackiego sprzyjała powstawaniu takich zapasów. Państwo krzyżackie w Prusach miało wówczas silną pozycję na rynkach europejskich.
