Vom Domänenamt Schöneck zur Domäne Pogutken 1772 bis 1920

German
The domain economy in Prussia was dominated by the Prussian civil service in the 19th century, which led to a bureaucratisation of the administrative system. The work focuses on the Schöneck domain office in West Prussia, which remained an office until the Ablösgesetz of 2 March 1850 and whose outlying estates thereafter came up for lease as domains, although their continuity as royal estates was questioned at regular intervals. The framework for the contracts was set by constantly revised "General Lease Conditions". The sources are the files of the Domain Administration in the GStA PK in Berlin and in the State Archives in Gdansk. The history of the Domain Office is accompanied by the history of agriculture, which is explained in each case before the beginning of a new lease period on the basis of general literature.

"From the Schöneck Royal Domain Office to Domain Territory in Pogutken 1772 - 1920. A Chapter of Prussian Agricultural History": Agricultural properties as the resources behind the financial sector - this was the motto under which Prussia ran its large royal land ownership, which is why the tax authorities shaped the lease agreements. The history of a Royal Domain Office in West Prussia that was leased out as Domain Territory after 1850 on dissolution of the hereditary leaseholds shows the disparity between officials and estate leaseholders, with the latter finding the ways and means to implement their specialist agricultural knowledge.
