Summary/Abstract: This article commemorates the signing of the agreement on local border traffic between the Second Polish Republic and the Weimar Republic on 30 December 1924. This year, 91 years have passed since that event. It should be emphasized that this was not the only such international agreement, as Poland entered into similar ones with Czechoslovakia (1925) and the Kingdom of Romania (1929).According to the author, solutions specified in the Polish-German treaties are sometimes better than those currently defined in agreements with Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, as indicated by the analysis of the documents. The achievements of the historical-legal acts can and should be used in the creation of the Polish concept of boundaries and rights.
