The paper addresses an important issue in the history of law concerning the Kruszwica privilege and the introduction of Chełmno and Lubeck law as key elements in the process of the establishment and consolidation of the Teutonic State in Prussia. It will present the current state of research on the ongoing discussion about the authenticity of the Kruszwica privilege, which has been taking place since 1873. I will attempt to present Chełmno and Lubeck laws as an innovative regulatory system that contributed to the development of urban centers and significantly influenced the strengthening of the economic and political foundations of the Order's power, as well as the formation of a corporate social model in the cities within the Teutonic state's borders in Prussia. This analysis aims to demonstrate how law, administration, and the establishment of a corporate model in urban centers such as Toruń, Chełmno, Elbląg, and Gdańsk had a real impact on the consolidation of the Order`s power.
