Stade, Hansestadt und Schwedenfestung I
Stade was incorporated as a town in 1209 and was a founding and prominent member of the Hansa until the 17th century. It came under Swedish rule from 1645 to 1712, serving as the capital of the Swedish province of Bremen-Verden-Wildeshausen. In 1659 a fire destroyed 60% of the city. Thanks to Claus for these very suitable cards.
