STADE

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 750 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STADE , a town of Germany in the Prussian province of Hanover, situated on the navigable Schwinge, 31 M. above its confluence with the Elbe, 20 M. N.W. of Hamburg on the railway to Cuxhaven. Pop. (1905), 10,837. It carries on a number of small manufactures and has some shipping
trade
 , chiefly with Hamburg, but the rise of Harburg has deposed it from its former position as the
chief
  port of Hanover. In the neighbourhood are deposits of
gypsum
  and
salt
 . The fortifications, erected in 1755 and strengthened in 1816, were demolished in 1882.
According to the legend, Stade was the oldest town of the
Saxons
  and was built in 321 B.C. Historically it cannot be traced farther back than the loth
century
 , when it was the
capital
  of a line of
counts
 . In the 13th
century
  it passed to the
arch
 -bishopric of Bremen. Subsequently entering the Hanseatic League, it rose to some commercial importance.' In 1648 Stade became the
capital
  of the principality of Bremen under the Swedes; and in 1719 it was ceded to Hanover, the fate of which it has since shared. The Prussians occupied it without resistance in 1866.
See Jobelmann and Wittpennig, Geschichte der Stadt Stade (Stade, 1898).
