  • May 1523: In the "Quedlinburger Rezess" of May 13, 1523, after lengthy negotiations, large territorial cessions to Braunschweig were decided. This meant a great gain for the princes of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel. The Bishopric of Hildesheim was left with only four of the original 22 provinces (Peine, Steuerwald, Marienburg and the cathedral provost) as well as the cities of Hildesheim and Peine.
