Second Stader comparison
The Second Stade Settlement is an agreement made on August 23, 1741 between the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the City of Bremen on their claims to power, which was concluded in Stade as the administrative seat of the Duchy of Bremen .
prehistory
After two unsuccessful campaigns against Bremen in 1666, Sweden also recognized the independence of the city of Bremen in the Peace of habenhausen . After the transfer of the Duchy of Bremen to Kurhannover (1715), however, Kurhannover questioned the imperial immediacy of the city of Bremen. From 1733 Kurhannover and Bremen negotiated the sovereignty of the rural areas - i.e. in the four Gohen - in which Bremen practically exercised the sovereignty.
The comparison
On August 23, 1741, in the Second Stade settlement, Kurhannover and Bremen agreed on the recognition of the existing imperial immediacy of Bremen. State sovereignty and the right to contribute (duties, taxes) of parts of the Werderland with Burg , Grambke , Mittelbüren and Oslebshausen as well as the blockland with the Wümmewiesen, the Niederblockland and parts of the Vahr and Vegesack remained with the Hanoverian Duchy of Bremen. Bremen retained church patronage and jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters in these areas . Relations between Kurhannover and Bremen then normalized.
