Der Alltag in den kleinen und mittelgroßen Städten von Pommerellen in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Gegenstand der historischen Analyse (Probleme und Forschungsvorschläge)

Research on the everyday life of inhabitants of Pomerelia in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century so far has focused mainly on the issues regarding the existence and customs of the rural population. The description of daily routines in small and medium-size towns has hitherto not constituted a separate topic for research as it remained on the margin of regional historiography. The problem has not been dealt with in any of the monographs concerning individual cities. Nevertheless, selecting such a research topic entails many diffi culties of a methodological nature connected with defining new periodisation, highlighting the basic research directions and adopting a new perspective on the available source material.
