Ludbreški kotar je za razliku od koprivničkog, koji je imao elemente i vojničkog i banskog grada, bio trgovište koje se razvijalo kao središte nekoliko plemićkih veleposjeda i područje kojim je nakon prestanka osmanlijskih upada išla najkraća veza između zapadne Ugarske i Zagreba, a na tom se putu razvilo i svetište Svete krvi Isusove. Zbog toga je privredna aktivnost u tom području bila slaba, izuzev gostioničke djelatnosti, na što je svakako u devetnaestom stoljeću utjecala velika prometna izoliranost kada su veze sa Zagrebom krenule drugim putovima. U prošlosti je ludbreško područje pripadalo Križevačkoj županiji, ali kasnije dolazi do rascjepa pa sve više jača u vrijeme Vojne krajine pripadnost Varaždinskoj županiji kao dijelu Banske civilne Hrvatske i uloga plemićkih obitelji Batthyani, Drašković i Rauch odrazila se u obilju malih naselja u kojima je uvijek bilo obrtnika i malih trgovina koje su zadovoljavale minimalne potrebe stanovništva, dok su se veće kupnje i prodaje obavljale u Koprivnici, Čakovcu, Donjoj Dubravi, Legradu ili Varaždinu. Najbliža željeznička stanica bila je u Čakovcu i Koprivnici. Kroz Adresar iz 1890. možemo uočiti strukturu obrtnika i trgovaca, a kroz usporedbu s istoimenim radovima za kotar Đurđevac, Koprivnicu i Križevce možemo uočiti razlike između kotara gdje je Ludbreg imao najslabije razvijenu strukturu obrtništva i trgovine. To je područje sve do 1937. bilo bez željezničke pruge, a zbog započetog propadanja veleposjeda bilo prepušteno nazadovanju, s nastojanju da očuva tradicionalne oblike života iz vremena feudalizma. Ovaj rad je dio trilogije o obrtnicima i trgovcima Središnje Podravine 1890. godine koji su već objavljeni., Unlike Koprivnica, which had elements of both a military and a civil governor’s (ban’s) town, Ludbreg district was a market town that developed as the centre of several noble estates and an area along the shortest connection between western Hungary and Zagreb after the end of the Ottoman invasions, where the sanctuary of the Holy Blood of Jesus was subsequently developed. This was the reason why the economic activity in that area was weak, except for the innkeeping business, which was in the nineteenth century certainly affected by the great traffic isolation when the connections with Zagreb took other routes. In the past, the Ludbreg district belonged to Križevci County, but later a split occurred, and during the Military Border the affiliation to Varaždin County as part of Civil Croatia became stronger and the role of the noble families Batthyani, Drašković and Rauch was reflected in the abundance of small settlements craftsmen and small shops that met the minimum needs of the population, while larger purchases and sales were made in Koprivnica, Čakovec, Donja Dubrava, Legrad or Varaždin. The nearest railway stations were in Čakovec and Koprivnica. Through insight into the Address Book from 1890 we can see the structure of craftsmen and merchants, and by means of comparing it with similar editions for the district of Đurđevac, Koprivnica and Križevci we can see the differences between the districts where Ludbreg had the least developed structure of crafts and trade. Until 1937 this area was without a railway and due to the decay of the estate, it was left to go to ruin. This paper is part of a trilogy on craftsmen and merchants of Central Podravina in 1890 which has already been published.
