Summary/Abstract: The Urbarial Book of Kubin (Urbarium von Kubin) was formed after the militarization and colonization of this settlement as well as the neighbouring ones in the former Pančevo District, in Banat. In 1764––1774 the settlements were organized as the Regiment of German-Banat Frontiersmen (Deutsch-banatische Regiment). The Urbarial Book includes several parts, the first and the last of which are published in this paper. The first part of the Book (General Beschreibung und Haupt Anmerkungen) consists of 65 articles and considers the agrarian features and the settlement organization. In the quoted sections, it is described what position some areas of the settlement had, and what their usefulness was considering the tributary of the Dunube River – the Ponjavica and the Crna Bara swamp. The last segment of The Book (Summarische Inhalt Tabellen oder Ballanz) shows the list of landowners in the village and precise data about their land plots.
