Summary/Abstract: The above made comparison gives evidence that despite many differences in the development of administrative law in the two given states there are some “traditional concordances” which can be particularly found after World War I. Besides the similar constitutional basis for the judicial system of the Prussian type it was its Austrian subtype that was in force in both lands. The demarcation courts also operated in a similar way. In both states the general administrative law was not reintroduced after World War II while the public law dealing with “social affairs” (insurance, social security) or the limited supervision of the administration made by general courts were preserved. On the other hand, broader Polish historical experience makes the local administrative law somewhat different. Three main typesof the administrative law of the continental Europe existed there. After the Communist takeover the scholarly activity was not interrupted so that Poland entered the transformation process of the 1990s with a functional and distinctive administrative court system. All this shaped the current Polish administrative law. Thanks to the historical basis that we share the Polish system can be a source of inspiration for us.
