Aufgrund der exponierten Lage der Cottbuser Herrschaft als dynamische Uberschneidungsregion entwickelten sich etliche gesellschaftliche, wirtschaftliche und militarische Besonderheiten.


In this volume, Mario Kaun provides selected perspectives into the lifeworld of the Cottbus exclave society of the 18th century. This is the first time that a fundamental study has been published for this research area, which comprehensively explores the exclave and the relationship between the military and society in more detail and critically scrutinizes the economic function of the garrison in an up-and-coming town. The author draws attention to a great deal of previously unknown information, which also makes an important contribution to urban and regional history research on Cottbus and Lower Lusatia. In particular, the treatment of the Brandenburg-Prussian exclave represents a valuable addition to the hitherto rudimentary research situation.
