Abstract

The Registry Office (Archives) in Greifswald preserves, in the archival set Staatskanzelei, four archival units related to printing and the book trade in Kołobrzeg (German: Colberg) in the first half of the seventeenth century. They represent material of institutional character that refer to problems in printing and book trade viewed by the provincial administration of the Branderburg March. The first printing house in Colberg, with the elector Frederic Wilhelm consent, was set up in May 1653 and Henrich Heissen was appointed the first printer of the new establishment. He was followed, until the end of the seventeenth century, by: Jacob Kusen, Berger Campen and Johan Nikolaus Ernst. Printers in Colberg were not only involved in printing books but also in selling them in the town. Beside the already mentioned printers, in the timeframe in question, there were also other professional booksellers such as Jeremias Amphras, Jacob Henning, Johan Danhardt and Jeremias Schrey. In all, in the second half of the seventeenth century, Colberg was an important center of publishing and book trade. Its importance was diminished greatly when the capital of the province was moved to Stargard (German: Stargard in Pommern) in 1668.
