Summary/Abstract: The chateau complexes, both those at the border with Masovia as well as others, in the depths of the Teutonic State in Prussia, were primarily defensive buildings, but also had administrative, economic, production, processing and storage facilities, and also military warehouses for the local members of the convention (knights) and armaments with military intervention equipment that could come to the castle from other nearby castles, or for the armies) and use those stocks for further warfare. There was a very strong connection between the castle's operation (here on the border with the Duchy of Masovia), the infrastructure in that economic and military castle complex, its reserves and the role it played in the defense system of the Teutonic Order in Prussia and its economic potential resulting from the economic and conglomerate infrastructure and stored any stock.
