The paper addresses the long-term impact of mining towns and the villages under the authority of these towns on the waterscapes in the northern mining area of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary (present-day Slovakia). The paper focuses on the privileging practices of the settlers of villages founded by burghers of a medieval mining town, Kremnica. The paper argues that analysing Kremnica’s practice in settling the town’s surroundings may on the one hand shed light on the privileges of the settlers of the town itself, and on the other, be crucial to understanding a previously neglected environmental impact of mining in pre-modern times. The paper argues that while charters of privilege provided to mining towns seldom refer to the freedom to exploit water, the towns’ settlers did use the waterways to their benefit. In arguing for this the paper discusses the freedoms of the settlers’ villages of Kremnica in the fourteenth–fifteenth centuries. The freedom of settlers – or the leading of the settling process – led to an increased pressure on waterways in mining town areas that had lasting consequences on the landscapes of these regions.

The study deals with the former market place in the city of Košice (former Kingdom of Hungary, now Slovakia), that has completely disappeared. The author presents the state of knowledge, archival sources and archaeological research in the introductory part of the text. Then he discusses the topography of the square and the role of the town hall there (no longer existing, too). Having analysed the written reports and compared Košice with foreign towns, especially Polish ones, the author subsequently identifies and locates, sometimes just tentatively, various stalls that stood on the market square between the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 17th century. A special chapter is aimed on the location of the butcher’s stalls situated on the nearby street. Finally, a brief consideration is given to the share of income from the stalls in the town’s budget, followed by a conclusion.
