This reprint presents a comprehensive examination of the history of Neumark through various individual studies. The main sections include an exploration of Neumark's external circumstances prior to its acquisition, the Slavic conditions at the onset of German immigration, and the acquisition of Neumark by the Askanier family. Additional insights cover the general state of Neumark around 1300, including the emergence of a bishopric-brandenburgian authority in the Königsberg area and the founding circumstances of the city of Königsberg. The text also scrutinizes the authenticity of the Arnswalder contract from 1269 and the significant city privileges granted to Stettin in December 1283. Moreover, it features a cartographic representation of the original settlement conditions and the resulting desolations. Accompanying maps detail disputes over property rights in various regions, including Starvin and Sammentin, and outline territories transferred to the Templars. The work is supplemented by registers of persons and places, as well as numerous maps illustrating historical locations such as churches and villages in the region. This scholarly compilation serves as a vital resource for understanding the complex historical landscape of Neumark.
