Benefits for the Prussian army by the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Poznań between 1815–1844. State of research and research perspectives

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the results of a pre- liminary study into the issue of benefits for the army in the Grand Duchy of Poznań in 1815–1844. This subject is absent from Polish historiography, while in German literature it was only addressed in biased works written before 1945. It is therefore necessary to update the current body of knowledge, especially in order to identify a significant group of sources in German and Polish archives. This article presents the state of research on the issue, the key organizational and structural aspects of the presence of Prussian troops in Greater Poland, and finally a catalogue of the main groups of benefits for the army in the dis- cussed period. The research postulates formulated on this basis constitute an introduction to the planned studies on the problem of the impact of benefits on the material situation of the inhabitants of the province.
