History of Stade
Stade has long been more important than Hamburg, taking many of the products that came from the North Sea. Its history dates back centuries and the city itself has been involved in all kinds of invasions and wars. The City Museum used to be a warehouse when the Swedes dominated that area, and is the best way to follow the chronology of events that have led up to this day. There is a great collection of items found at sea, salvaged from shipwrecks.
