Re: Stralsund, Sweden only got to keep it for another century, though. Stralsund became a part of Prussia in 1815 and is still German today. It's also an old Hanse town which a pretty well preserved inner city, with a visit.

I didn't mention this because it's outside our period, but yes, very true.

Wasn't a young Knobelsdorff also at Stralsund in the ditches?

I had forgotten, but searching old posts reminds me that he was indeed. Good memory!
