Was the second of two wars fought between the Swedish Empire and the Hanseatic town of Bremen in 1654 and 1666. Bremen claimed to be subject to the Holy Roman Emperor, maintaining Imperial immediacy, while Sweden claimed Bremen to be a mediatised part of her dominions of Bremen-Verden.

  • September 1666: In January 1666, Carl Gustaf Wrangel departed from Swedish Pomerania to command the Swedish army, which in early 1666 numbered 14,000 troops. By summer, all of the city of Bremen's territory was occupied, except the city itself.
  • November 1666: On 14 November, the Peace of Habenhausen was signed. Bremen further had to cede its territories north of the city and at the lower Weser river. However, the city itself with a number of villages around, maintained its independence. […] The compromise stipulated that Bremen waived imperial immediacy until the end of the 17th century and could not take part in imperial diets. Of course, this was of no real importance to the city. This peace treaty put a heavy damper on Swedish military policy, and it was generally taken as a victory for Bremen.
