Julianna Örsi Concerning the drawing up of the social composition of Szeged in the 18th and 19th centuries In our article we add to the knowledge about the change of the population-composition of Szeged in the 18th and 19th centuries with the processing of the settling intent censuses. Between 1738 and 1752 282 person moved to Szeged (1/3 of them from unknown place). Nearly half of them were inquilius and one third were Civis. The city offered the most for the habitants of the nearby settlements at the time. (Most of them arrived from Deszk) Between 1740 and 1747 56 person paid the civilian census (civil right). All of them were Roman Catholics. More than half of those who moved in were German. From the 600 moving in between 1780 and 1815, four fifth of the ones getting civil right were of foreign origin. They mostly arrived from the direction of northwest-Hungary (Pozsony, Komárom, Nyitra, Liptó, Trencsén County, and some from Austria and the Transdanubia). Most of the citizens allowed in between 1783 and 1790 were innkeepers, tavern-keepers and brewers. They are followed by the traditional guild house artisans. Some are wandering guild apprentices, others stayed in the city with the intent of permanent settling down. In the census of the newly accepted civils there are 723 names, between 1833 and 1844, and 2/3 of them is civilson, or the son of an already Szeged civil. This shows that the city arrived at the level of civil development, that there is an artisan stratum and the artisan and trader profession has such a pull that is able to serve the growing needs of the population. The municipal council strictly controlled the migration into the city until the mid-19th century. They only gave settlement permit to individuals (habitant right, civil right), who added to the serving of the local needs with their value generating capacity and were not a burden on the city. This rule was needed not only to keep the desired populousness, but to defend the ‘home industry', the local artisans and traders from oversupply. After a circumspect procedure the council decided whether to grant the civil right and for how long the settlement permit is valid. 395
