Cityscape
A city was an urban mortgage bank ( Pfandbriefanstalt ). Townships were set up as public credit institutions for the towns , based on the model of the Prussian landscapes . The oldest was the Württemberg credit association from 1825, in which urban homeowners and rural landowners were united. Townships in Prussia received state subsidies, especially after the First World War , in order to ensure that mortgages could be taken out on particularly favorable terms.
The Prussian municipalities Stadtschaft of the province of Brandenburg (Berlin), Pomeranian township (Stettin), East Prussian township (Königsberg in Prussia), township of the province of Hanover (Hannover), township of the province of Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia (Schneidemühl), Oberschlesische Stadtschaft (Ratibor), City of the Province of Saxony (Halle an der Saale) and the City of Lower Silesia (Breslau) were merged in the Prussian Central City.
