Summary/Abstract: The article discusses, based primarily on hitherto unused archival sources, the process of formation and functioning of the border between the Duchy of Pomerania and the Teutonic Order's state The first part describes the formation of the border between the two indicated political powers along its entire course from the mouth of the river Łeba in the north to the estuary of the river Dobrzynka to the river Gwda in the south. Then, the causes of border conflicts were examined against the background of the overall Pomeranian-Teutonic relations and the situation on the border, as well as methods of the conflicts' settlement. The research postulate for the future is the analysis of an interesting issue for the years 1417-1454.
