Abstract (en)
The article deals with the traders of Wystiten and with the border as a modernization factor for Litvaks in transnational space in 19th century. The Litvak Jews at the East Prussian border represented a constitutive factor in the border region. In the 19th century they were able to distinguish themselves within the economic and social space. At the end of the century their role was not only pushed back by political factors but also by the degree to which the experience of the border became common property, and all actors at the border wanted to profit from it.
