Activities of social groups, which cause relations between the people of a society, constitute a crucial aspect of a given region’s nature. Did the political and social elite of the Oder region area (Nadodrze), in the time from the latter part of the 12th century until the latter part of the 15th century, take intentionally coordinated, mutually agreed upon actions. Or, after being forced by external factors to take such actions, did they continue to coordinate their activities after external factors ceased to be operative. Yet another question is, did the members of this political elite consider in their activities the notion of a unified, territorial unit called “Silesia”? Various political activities of the Nadodrze elite in the Middle Ages makes establishing a unified model of the formation of regional unity unfeasible. Activities undertaken by the dukes maintained the awareness of Silesia’s unity despite their, and their entourage’s, tendencies to focus on the importance of these small duchies. The dukes focused their activities, via conventions and confederations, towards building community awareness, combining thus far separate elites of individual duchies, especially the society of southern and middle part of Nadodrze. Despite the extended cooperation on various issues, which extended beyond the borders of specific duchies, in the latter part of the 14th and early 15th centuries, separatist tendencies were still extant. Silesian society, forged through political activities of its elite was by nature a network, which reacted dynamically to influences from its surroundings. The structure hardened sometimes, although its members valued locality at least as high as their regional identity.

The purpose of the Tables of vassals of 1752 and 1804 was to familiarise the Prussian authorities with the nobility of their new province and their land holdings. Said Tables presented the Silesian nobility through homogeneous criteria, due to this they are an interesting, though not necessarily precise source of statistical information. This allows one to form theses about the nature of the socioeconomic structure of this nobility in the latter part of the 18th and beginnings of the 19th century. The Tables of vassals contained the name of the vassal and his male progeny. The information contained therein allows for detailed analysis of this group of nobles, it made creation of a map of their land holdings on Silesian territories possible. The information on the Tables is by nature supplementary to the process of establishing the financial status, as they do not contain data about the value of nobility’s holdings. They also contain data about the service provided by the Silesian vassals, both within the country and abroad, thus making it possible to establish the direction of their activities. During the days of Prussian dominion the gentry lifestyle was prevalent. Following the loss of their ability to participate in the political life of the province, the Silesian nobility turned to other forms of political activity. First among their choices was a career in the military, picked by nearly one nobleman in three. A less popular choice was a career in administration, as it was limited by the amount of positions available in offices and courts, the influx of city population and the policies of the Prussian authorities concerning their new province. The involvement of Silesian nobility in the Potsdam-Berlin courtly life was marginal.
