The formerly unknown first state was dedicated to the new Queen of Poland, Louise Marie Gonzaga. The author hypothesises that it was probably a gift from the author of the map, who participated in Krzysztof Opaliński's envoy to the future queen. The speed at which this work was produced did not allow for its final completion, so in the later state of the map, a number of additions were made, the addressee of the dedication was changed, and the text of the royal privilege to print it was added. Several features indicate that Freudenhammer's original intention was changed over time, and the new addressee of the work became the author's employer and mentor-Krzysztof Opaliński.

The Museum's operation was based on the activity of its founder Czesław Paśnik. Over the last period under his management, and subsequently under his successor Józef Krupa, the Museum was given the opportunity to acquire a unique collection and become an institution of a national impact: by acquiring the legacy of the writer, member of the pre-WW II 'Kwadryga' literary group Stefan Flukowski. Subsequently, an attempt was made to mount an exhibition and a museum of the Woldenberg Prisoners (Polish officers from Oflag II C in Woldenberg/Dobiegniew). In both cases the attempts were thwarted by 'central' institutions: the District and Municipal Public Library in Szczecin and the organization representing former Woldenberg prisoners. These institutions evidently patronized the Barlinek Museum, failing to take local needs as well as historical and social contexts into consideration. The ambiguous attitude of those centres accompanied by untransparent circumstances of acquiring the collections had their short-and long-term impact, essentially leading to the limitation of the Barlinek Museum's offer.

It provides an example of an institution whose operation over the years was based on the energy of two subsequent managers. Supported merely marginally by local-government institutions, they ran and developed one of the few of the type cultural institutions in the region. From the beginning of the Barlinek institution's operation (founded in 1961), it stood out as the 'first private' museum in Poland, this emphasized not merely by the local, but also national press. When running the Museum, its founder Czesław Paśnik did not stop his social and political activism, focusing mainly on heritage preservation and promotion of the regional history. The only shadow cast on this period of his activity is Paśnik's collaboration with the Security Service, SB, however, as documents reveal, he consented to do so in order to provide financing for the Museum.

The subordination of this first factor to the military matters caused a new vision of the army organisation, its recruitment and the disposition in fixed garrisons throughout the country. The wars, waged primarily by Frederic II, and later against a revolutionary France, had to be supported by an efficiently operating hinterland. Its element was the organization of fixed seats of regiments, that over time became an integral part of the urban organism. In the article, conditionings were discussed which laid at the roots of creating and organizing the garrison in a small city in the Eastern Brandenburg and subsequent alternations of stationed there regiments of the infantry. It’s important strategical positioning, close to the Pomeranian theatre of war (3rd Northern War), and later the Silesian one (three Silesian Wars) caused, that for an almost entire 18th century it was marked with the presence of a fixed garrison. This caused certain tensions with the townspeople, inevitable in a situation when every fifth man in town was a soldier; however, it created new development opportunities, which is indicated by almost the duplication of the population within a century and the considerable increase of the number of buildings.

With Regard to the Number of Editions of the Great Map of Pomerania by Eilhard Lubinus According to the scholarly literature on the cartography of the former Duchy of Pomerania, the map of this region prepared by Eilhard Lubinus, a scholar from the University of Rostock, had two editions: the first from 1618 and the second from 1758. This article presents a more detailed analysis of the preserved documents relevant for this topic: the correspondence of the author of the map and his patron, the Duke of Pomerania Philip II, as well as subsequent letters concerning the inheritance after Lubinus's death. This investigation allowed to put forward a hypothesis that there were actually three editions. Apart from the two editions mentioned above, one more from the turn of 1620, financed by Lubinus himself, should be added. This conclusion is enhanced by the results of research carried out during conservation works on a copy of the map currently stored in the Main Library of the University of Szczecin. The research revealed that the paper used to print the map came neither from the paper mill of Pomeranian dukes, as in the 1618 edition, nor from the paper mill of Joseph Anton Unold of Wolfegg, as in the 1758 edition.
