List of Swedish envoys to the Hanseatic cities
This is a list of the Swedish envoys to the three Hanseatic cities of Bremen , Hamburg and Lübeck . The embassy was in Hamburg, and existed (initially also opposite the Lower Saxony Reichskreis) from the beginning of the 17th century to the end of the 19th century. The three Hanseatic cities were free imperial cities from the 16th century , occupied by France from 1806 , annexed from 1811 to 1814, from 1815 free cities in the German Confederation and from 1871 federal states in the German Empire .
The Swedish embassy in Hamburg was Sweden's oldest diplomatic mission in Germany and one of Sweden's most important representations in Europe. In addition to the economic weight of the Hanseatic cities, the importance of the location also lay in their political independence and access to an incomparably high density of information sources such as newspapers and postal connections, as well as contact with business people, commercial travelers and other diplomats.
