Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the difficult beginnings of economic development in Gubin’s villages in the first post-war years. The new inhabitants of these areas, who took former German farms, had to establish a network of economic connections in the district. Agriculture, which in 1939 was a small part of the economic life of the inhabitants, became the dominant occupation after the war. The population status of the Gubin villages will be described, the property rights, the state of livestock and dead livestock as well as the management of ex-junker’s estates, the creation of state-owned farms and machine centers. In the years 1945–1949, Gubin district was depopulated and poverty prevailed among the settlers. As a result of the land reform, many farmers had to leave their farms.
