Summary
| Description |
English: Cropping of a plate from Gerardus Mercator's Atlas Cosmographicae (1595) showing the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen ("Stift Bremen", in yellow) on the west bank of the Elbe River. In the late 16th century when this map was drawn, the Prince-Archbishopric was ruled by Protestants administrators. The Archdiocese of Bremen was much larger while the city of Bremen proper was a self-ruling free imperial city. The Prince-Bishopric of Verden ("Ferdensis Episcopatus", in green) is shown to the southeast of the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen. |
