Abstract

On the medieval topography of the towns of Szatmár and Németi The towns of Szatmár (ro: Satu Mare) and Németi (ro: Mintiu) were situated on the opposite bank of river Szamos (Someș), as two distinct settlements, during the Middle Ages. They were located close to each other, and they shared mostly a common history, but they kept their administrative separation, until 1712. The close geographical position, and their parallel history, formed the two towns as twin-settlements, a situation which created a rather special topographical arrangement for medieval Hungary. Unfortunately, due to the Ottoman Wars of the 16th and 17th century, and the massive rebuilding during the modern period, the medieval townscapes of the two twin settlements were not preserved. Using the methodological and conceptual framework developed for the series of the Atlases of Historical Towns, the study analyses the dominant elements of the two town’s topography: watercourses, fortifications, dominant buildings, and town-parcels. A review of the sources on these topographical elements is given, parallel with the assessment of their relevance for the medieval period. Except of the position of the parish churches, and the trace of the main roads, no other element can be traced back earlier than the 16th century, most precisely before the period of the Ottoman Wars. Keywords: medieval urban topography, street and parcel network, watercourses an urban development
