Summary/Abstract: The contribution pays attention to mud building techniques in the Mid-Danube area and Pannonian Plain. After a large colonization process in the 18th century, the house of “Pannonian type” was formed in this multiethnic environment, which featured the multipurpose utilization of mud. More building techniques were applied allowing to use mud as building material for wall constructions. Mud was also used for the surface treatment of floors and ceilings in mud houses. In the Danube-Pannonian region, a special type of mud ovens developed. The house of Pannonian type also included special decorative forms of the internal and external elements of dwellings.
