Lviv Merchant Congregation in the interwar period In the interwar period, Lviv Merchant Congregation was undoubtedly one of the main organizations of the economic life in Eastern Lesser Poland. The importance of this organisation was visible in the increasing number of its members, who actually could count on the Congregation’s support in the difficult times of economic depression. Although Lviv Merchant Congregation did not last long, in comparison to its long-lasting Cracovian counterpart, it noted many significant successes. The most important was the establishment of the Trade School in Lviv, which would function for many years. Another success was the promotion of products offered by merchants from the Congregation. Last but not least, there was a cooperation between the Lviv Merchant Congregation and Trade and Industry Chamber (both of which consisted of the same members) which aimed at improving commerce in Lviv during the interwar period.
