Between the late 8th and the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, the territories east of the lower Vistula valley represented a borderland between eastern Pomerania and Prussia. The frontier area was generally uninhabited at least until the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries, when colonization from both sides (Pomeranian and Prussian) started. Significant changes in the colonization of the investigated area may be dated back to the 11th century, when a large settlement complex in Węgry was established. For at least seven decades, with its military, economic, trade, political and administrative functions, it was the most important culture-generating East Pomerania-related centre situated to the east of the lower Vistula river. Undoubtedly the stronghold in Węgry had a central function. The paper discusses new research on the issue of the making of the Pomeranian-Prussian borderland, and especially on the significance of the settlement complex in Węgry and its role in the cultural development of the area
