The article presents the diversity of directions of emigration from agriculture in Western Pomerania in the late 1920s. The source basis was a unique survey conducted by the West Pomeranian Chamber of Agriculture. It provided information on approximately 16 000 people participating in the escape from the countryside (Landflucht). The results of these studies have become of interest to the International Labor Office in Geneva and the International Institute of Agriculture in Rome. With the help of the Wrocław and cartographic taxonomy method, the author of the article set himself the goal of verifying the findings of Werner Jacobi. He considered the studied phenomenon at the level of land counties (Landkreise). He presented the factors shaping the clusters and spatial nature of the structures of directions of emigration, also indicating the similarities and differences in the development of the phenomenon within the regions of the Pomeranian province (Jacobi’s research unit in the whole region).

The article analyses the factors determining the development of the towns in the Pomeranian province in the years 1918–1939. The author maintained the typology of the towns from the period prior to WWI. The author also poses the question whether some of those towns changed the function they had played in the 19th century. The specific character of the development of Pomeranian towns in the period under discussion consisted in its new geopolitical and macroeconomic situation. After 1918 Western Pomerania became the frontier province. This situation determined the migration processes. The administrative authorities of the province indicated that it was also the reason for the economic stagnation. The author maintains that one may agree with the thesis about the migration processes being determined by the new political situation, but it should be rejected in reference to the economic development. The Pomeranian province after WWI found itself on the margin of Germany’s economic life, which concerned both average-sized towns and the capital of the province – Szczecin. After the power in Germany had been taken over by the NSDAP and the military preparations had started, only some Pomeranian towns got the impulse to develop. The area which mostly took advantage of the policy was the territory of the so called great Szczecin. The pace of the development of the remaining towns was slower than in the case of other German towns and cities. Some corrections should be introduced in the typology of Pomeranian towns for the discussed period. They concern mainly the weakening of the function of some ports such as Kołobrzeg and Greifswald. Some other towns started to play the role as communication centres important for the region – this group included Piła, which constituted a significant transport interchange of international importance, used mainly in the contacts with Poland. The deliberations included in the book indicate that economic changes in the towns of the Pomeranian province were very slow.

Der Artikel analysiert die Faktoren, die die Entwicklung der Städte in der Provinz Pommern in den Jahren 1918–1939 bedingten. Bei der Analyse wird die Typologisierung von Städten aus der Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg beibehalten. Zugleich wird die Frage gestellt: Haben einige dieser Städte ihre Funktion geändert, die sie im 19. Jahrhundert erfüllten? Die Besonderheit in der Entwicklung der pommerschen Städte im besprochenen Zeitraum bestand unter anderem darin, dass sie sich in einer neuen geopolitischen und makroökonomischen Lage befanden. Denn Westpommern wurde nach 1918 zu einer Grenzprovinz. Diese Situation beeinflusste in hohem Maß die Migrationsprozesse. Die Verwaltung der Provinz verwies darauf, dass sie auch der Grund für die wirtschaftliche Stagnation sei. Auch wenn man der These von der Beeinflussung der Migrationsprozesse durch die neue politische Situation zustimmen kann, so ist sie als Grund für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung zu verwerfen. Die Provinz Pommern befand sich nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg am Rande des deutschen Wirtschaftslebens. Das betraf sowohl die mittelgroßen Städte in Pommern wie auch die Hauptstadt der Provinz, also Stettin. Nach der Machtübernahme der NSDAP und dem Beginn von militärischen Vorbereitungen ergaben sich nur für einige Städte in Pommern neue Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten. Hauptsächlich profitierte davon das Gebiet des sog. Groß-Stettin. Das Entwicklungstempo der übrigen Städte blieb weiterhin langsamer als das von anderen deutschen Städten. Bei der Typologisierung von pommerschen Städten für den besprochenen Zeitraum sollten gewisse Korrekturen vorgenommen werden. Sie betreffen vor allem den Rückgang der Bedeutung einiger als Hafen- und Handelsstädte, hauptsächlich Kolberg und Greifswald. Eine Gruppe anderer Städte gewann als Verkehrszentren an Bedeutung, aber nur als Verkehrszentren von regionalem Rang. Positiv hob sich in dieser Gruppe von Städten Schneidemühl hervor, das 1938 der Provinz angeschlossen wurde und das ein wichtiger Verkehrsknotenpunkt für internationale Verbindungen wurde, hauptsächlich mit Polen. Die angestellten Überlegungen lassen auf ein langsames Tempo der wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen in den Städten der Provinz Posen schließen, manchmal gar auf eine Stagnation.

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.
