• Description:
  The process of the formation of the urban centre in Poznań was long and variable, which resulted in particular from changes taking place in the early medieval settlement network. The results of historical analyses and archaeological excavations lead to the conclusion that the formation of this centre can be divided into three main stages, whose material manifestation were the changes in the major settlement areas. The first stage was related to the operation of the stronghold on Ostrów Tumski (Cathedral Island), located at the crossing of water and overland routes, activating the surrounding settlement since at least the beginning of the 10th century. The second stage should be related to the first attempt at the city’s incorporation in the 1230s, based on the settlement situated on the right bank of the Warta River (Ostrówek, Śródka and Komandoria). Designating the third stage was the transfer of the seat of the Dominicans to the left bank of the river in 1244 and ownership regulations in relation to the functioning of the settlements of św. Gotard, św. Marcin and św. Wojciech, which brought lasting results in the creation of the city. Archaeological data indicates that the development of the newly founded city initially proceeded with difficulty, probably in part due to the sudden death of Przemysł I. As late as in the 1280s, during the reign of Przemysł II it gained momentum, as evidenced by sources, as well as the construction of the monumental ducal castle.;
  Artykuł dotyczy przemian osadniczych zachodzących we wczesnym średniowieczu w przełomowej dolinie Warty, których efektem było zorganizowanie miasta. Przemiany te wynikały z roli wczesnopiastowskiego grodu na Ostrowie Tumskim w państwie pierwszych Piastów. Rozwój najbliżej położonych, prawobrzeżnych osad skutkował krótkotrwałym funkcjonowaniem organizmu miejskiego, lecz udana lokacja Poznania, zakończona w 1253 roku, oparta została o osadnictwo położone na lewym brzegu rzeki.
