Summary/Abstract: Both large and small Prussian cities enacted numerous laws regulating fire protection. Similar provisions can be found in the Willkür, ordinances and other regulations. The subject of this article is the ordinance of one of the most important towns of the former Pomeranian Palatinate, namely, Chojnice. This document, preserved at the Max Planck Institut für Rechtsgeschichte und Rechtstheorie in Frankfurt am Main, represents one of the few preserved acts of this kind related to small early modern Pomeranian municipalities demonstrating efforts to safeguard the town against the unpredictable element of fire.
