Treaty of Templin
1317 treaty between Brandenburg and Denmark From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Templin was concluded on 24/25 November 1317, ending a war between the Margraviate of Brandenburg and Denmark,[1] the latter leading a North German alliance. During this war, Brandenburgian margrave Waldemar (also Woldemar) and his troops were decisively defeated in the 1316 Battle of Gransee, fought at Schulzendorf between Rheinsberg and Gransee.[2] After the battle, Brandenburg was forced to negotiate a truce. The treaty of Templin was signed a year later by Danish king Eric VI Menved, his ally duke Henry II of Mecklenburg ("the Lion"), and Waldemar.[3]

Brandenburg had to transfer the terra Burg Stargard, that she had won from the Duchy of Pomerania in 1236 (Treaty of Kremmen), to Mecklenburg.[4][5][6] This area would stay with Mecklenburg ever since, from 1701 held by the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Brandenburg also had to level Arnsberg (also "Ahrensberg") castle,[7][8] and surrender the territories of Schlawe-Stolp (gained from the Principality of Rugia in 1277 and the Teutonic Knights in 1309, after the Treaty of Soldin) to Pomerania-Wolgast.[9][10]
