The only early medieval castle in northern Germany was the so-called Schwedenschanze. In the 8th century, there was already a market with a jetty in the town. In the 10th century, the counts of Harsefeld built a castle on the Spiegelberg hill, creating a centre of attraction of national significance.<br \/>\nStade owes the first written evidence of the town&#8217;s existence, which was called &#8220;Stethu&#8221; at the time, to an attack by Vikings in 994. So the history of Stade goes back a long way. The Hanseatic period is particularly significant for the town, it was the heyday of Stade, but the Swedish occupiers also left behind distinctive buildings that are still standing today such as the Schwedenspeicher and the armoury. Many traces of history characterise the maritime jewel on the river Schwinge with four harbours and a wide range of tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2596c63\" data-id=\"2596c63\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f0ec90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0f0ec90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7e8efd0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7e8efd0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" id=\"zeitreise\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dbb59a8\" data-id=\"dbb59a8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83eb9c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"83eb9c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Stade's history by the dozen<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8e6de7 elementor-testimonial--layout-image_above elementor-testimonial--skin-default elementor-testimonial--align-center elementor-arrows-yes elementor-pagination-type-bullets elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial-carousel\" data-id=\"d8e6de7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_per_view&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;slides_to_scroll&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;show_arrows&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pagination&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;space_between&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;space_between_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;space_between_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-main-swiper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Slides\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Fortification &amp; lookout point<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The most beautiful view over the new harbour and the Salztorsvorstadt can be enjoyed from the Spiegelberg, which was raised around the year 900.

Its interests were strongly focussed on achieving a balance with its trading partners Jutland and Flanders. It also traded intensively with Denmark. In 1259, Stade was granted staple rights, in 1272 minting rights and in 1279 the town laid down the rules for living together in the town and thus its own constitution in the Stade Statutes.<br \/>\nThe first pier was built around the year 1000 at the foot of the Spiegelberg &#8211; where the harbour basin is located today. The fixed harbour basin was created as early as the middle of the 13th century. From 1373, Stade was represented at &#8220;Hanseatic Diets&#8221; and the city grew into a flourishing trading town. For a while then, it was more important than Hamburg, integrated into Europe-wide flows of goods.<br \/>\nIn the 14th century, Stade was one of the Hanseatic cities of middling importance. The main traded goods were agricultural products from Jutland and the Lower Elbe region as well as cloth, spices and luxury goods from Flanders and Holland. During this period, the city had a foreign policy of its own towards its sovereign, the Archbishops of Bremen, as well as towards the Hanseatic League. In the 16th century, Hamburg largely took over the Elbe trade.<br \/>\nBy integrating the &#8220;Merchant Adventurers&#8221;, an association of English cloth merchants, the city tried to boost trade again from 1587. However, this led to a dispute with the Hanseatic League, which resulted in Stade being banished in 1601. Excluded from the Hanseatic League, it fell to the status of a small country town.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a818afa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a818afa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-38c1a43\" data-id=\"38c1a43\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d8923e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7d8923e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-566cfa0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"566cfa0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d8436f\" data-id=\"6d8436f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f7d018 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f7d018\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stade-tourismus.de\/de\/hansestadt-stade\/hanse-erleben\/\">Experience the Hanseatic League<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8b39df3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8b39df3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-290b6fd\" data-id=\"290b6fd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b40664c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b40664c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stade-tourismus.de\/de\/hansestadt-stade\/museen-kunst-und-kultur\/museen\/museum-schwedenspeicher\/\">Hanseatic exhibition in the Schwedenspeicher Museum<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e24b9a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e24b9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On its premises at the city&#8217;s historic harbour, the Schwedenspeicher Museum houses a permanent exhibit on the Hanseatic League alongside temporary exhibitions.

It is remarkable how much of the food culture of that time is still relevant today.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7dac2d5\" data-id=\"7dac2d5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-162ba6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"162ba6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stade-tourismus.de\/de\/veranstaltungen-stade\/stadtfeste\/hansemahl\/\">Stade Hansemahl<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-464fc8c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"464fc8c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The annual Stade Hansemahl can be traced back to seafaring in Hanseatic times.

Danish troops entered the town in 1625, and three years later the famous commander Count Tilly conquered the town. In 1632, the Swedes succeeded in capturing Stade. After a brief Danish occupation, they regained the upper hand in 1643. During the great town fire in 1659, more than two thirds of the town was destroyed. However, the roads were largely preserved: reconstruction began under the Swedish troops. The Swedes also left their mark on the town in the form of their military buildings: the armoury and the garrison&#8217;s victual house, known today as the Schwedenspeicher. The Swedish occupation also brought lively shipping traffic to Stade under the neutral Swedish flag. For almost 200 years, various troops occupied the town: Swedes and Danes alternated with the Hanoverians, English, French and Prussians. The balance of power changed constantly. Under Swedish rule (1645-1712), the city became an administrative centre and was developed into a fortress of European importance. However, the strains of Sweden&#8217;s European wars permanently weakened the town&#8217;s economic power. Stade became part of Prussia in 1866.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bcc2ee5\" data-id=\"bcc2ee5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee99e96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ee99e96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-184dd2e9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"184dd2e9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-311ec0a5\" data-id=\"311ec0a5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3dc7b8ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3dc7b8ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The upheaval<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59493028 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"59493028\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Until the 19th century, Elbe tolls were levied at the mouth of the river Schwinge, which ships paid to avoid being attacked. After the annexation by the Prussians, the de-fortification of Stade began: the demolition of defences and the expansion of the urban infrastructure. At the end of the 19th century, a wide variety of businesses settled around Stade&#8217;s town centre, followed by industry and commerce. The new harbour was built in 1880 and the town was connected to the railway network in 1881. In 1920, the lights came on in the truest sense of the word, as the town was connected to the national electricity supply.<br \/>\nFortunately, the First World War had few noticeable consequences for the town, but a battalion from Stade was sent to the war in 1914. An airbase was built in 1934 &#8211; during the Second World War it was used as a military aerodrome. The population suffered from the war, but the town itself was largely spared from bombing raids. On the 1st of May 1945, British troops entered Stade and liberated the town from the Nazi regime.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-225e1b84\" data-id=\"225e1b84\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8b5a79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b8b5a79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Post-war &amp; modernisation<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd513c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd513c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The people of Stade took fate into their own hands and made the town a flourishing tourist and business hub in the 1950s. Stade has been an aircraft industry base since 1958 thanks to the Hamburg aeroplane construction on the site of the air base.<br \/>\nAt the beginning of the 1970s, the economic boom set in with the establishment of large companies, power stations and subsequently corporations such as Airbus and Dow. This development and various subsidies made extensive and complex urban redevelopment possible, the benefits of which are currently reaped by residents and visitors alike. The old town is largely being pedestrianised and many old houses renovated. Around 460 architectural monuments in the city of Stade are listed in the register of cultural monuments. During excavations in the harbour basin in 1989, spectacular finds from Stade&#8217;s 1000-year history were discovered.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
