УГОВОР О ЗАКУПУ ЈЕВРЕЈСКОГ СВРАТИШТА У СОМБОРУ ИЗ 1821. ГОДИНЕ

Abstract: The right to lease the Jewish Inn was one of the privileges enjoyed by Sombor residents. This right was realised at a public auction and awarded to whoever offered the highest amount for the annual lease. The tenant signed a contract with the city, specifying the obligations and rights of both parties. The appendix of the paper gives an example of the contract signed between the city of Sombor and Lazar Rosenzvaig to lease the Inn from November 1821. Other contracts drawn up for this purpose have a similar content. The right to lease the Inn was the cause of many disputes and disagreements among the members of the Jewish community in Sombor. Based on an insight into the documents related to the activities of the Jewish community of Sombor in the early 19th century, the dispute regarding the lease of the Inn was one of the most significant and protracted legal issues in Sombor in the first two decades of the 19th century among the members of this community. Keywords: Sombor, 19th century, Jewish community, Jewish Inn, contract, lease.
