Comment: A lot context from this article is already in the respective treaties between the two states, and I don't see the need to separate the township from the article Wildeshausen. This draft in it's current form is not descriptive either to be considered as a standalone article, as most of the information is copied. I recommend you to add any additional sentence or line in the History section of Wildeshausen. zoglophie•talk• 18:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Wildeshausen was a short lived exclave of the Swedish dominion of Bremen-verden which only lasted from 1648 to 1679[1][2]
After the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which Sweden was victorious in they gained large parts of modern day Germany. Such as Pommerania, Wismar, Bremen-Verden and Wildeshausen[3]. While Bremen- Verden, Pommerania and Wismar were long lasting dominions of Sweden, Wildeshausen was brief.
Geography
editApproximately four miles south of Bremen lied the city of Wildeshausen in modern day Lower Saxony, Germany situated by the river hunte.
Swedish Wildeshausen encompassed the city of Wildeshausen and some surrounding areas, such as Wardenburg, Großenkneten.
History
editThe Swedish crown granted the area to Count Gustav Gustavsson of Vasaborg[4], an illegitimate son of Gustavus II Adolphus and Margareta Slots, thus a half-brother of the then Swedish queen Kristina.
Gustav had served in the Swedish armed forces during the war and was ennobled to Vasaborg in 1637 (introduction at Riddarhuset in 1647); he also had several estates in Finland. After receiving Wildeshausen, he moved to Germany and died in his new city of residence on 25 October 1653.[5]
The next lord of Wildeshausen was Gustav Gustavsson's son and successor, Gustav Adolf of Wasaborg, who was only a few months old at the time of his father's death. As an adult, he pursued a military career in Braunschweig-Lüneburg but lost Wildeshausen during the wars of the 1670s.
Treaty of Nijmegen
editAlready in 1679, after the Peace of Nijmegen the Swedish crown ceded Wildeshausen to the Prince-Bishop of Münster, formally against a pledge of 100,000 Riksdaler.[1][5] The area was further mortgaged to Hanover in 1700. However, Gustav Adolf still lived in the area and died in Wildeshausen in 1732.[5]
