In addition to the introduction, the article consists of three parts and conclusions. The broadest one includes the description of the assumptions and stages of the research procedure and its results, both on the empirical and methodological level. It is based on synthetic theoretical foundations presented on the basis of a review of international literature on the subject and review of the essence of the German economic miracle and the main trends in changes in the field of economic growth and transport development in Germany after World War II. The research presented in this way fits into the principles of the new economic history paradigm, which is still not very popular in Europe.

The creation and development of railways in Prussia in the first two decades of their existence occurred by the private sector. Prussian state established railway law on 3 November 1838, the Berlin–Szczecin railway built relatively early line Berlin–Szczecin (1843) and Stargard–Szczecin (1846). Development of the railway was an important event for the province and Szczecin, affecting the economic, social and political importance. Prussian government has been actively involved in the process of construction of the railway in the early eighties of the 19th century. Local government have been active since 1892, which was related to the new law on local railways construction (Gesetz über Kleinbahnen und Privatanschlußbahnen vom 28.07.1892). Local authorities (eg. provincial assembly, counties, local municipalities) became an active participant in economic life, including the development of narrow-gauge railway infrastructure in Pomerania.

The German and Prussian economy is an example of the growing economic integration of many of the sovereign states within the German Customs Union (1834). After 1879 the German Empire changed its trade policies from liberal to protectionist (high tariffs on agricultural and industrial products), like many other European countries. High tariffs policy, provided a much higher income landlords and heavy industries, such as other limited inflow of cheap foreign grain, livestock meant rising prices, increased cost of living. Prussian Junkers thus contributed to lower economic development regions of eastern Germany and prevent the outflow of labor to the cities, making it difficult for industry development initiative. High tariffs have delayed or prevented the tendency to make the necessary changes in the nature of farming – increasing the importance of animal husbandry, special branches of agricultural production (of which there is for example in England), greater intensification. Province of Pomerania, missed the chance build industrial and agricultural region. Only the big resorts like Szczecin experienced growth in the industrial sector and service sector. Prussian government policies (including the Junkers) to Pomerania, was different from the needs of economic development of the region. The region remained economically backward compared to the western provinces of the Reich.
