Introduction

By the Treaty of Hamburg (1701), most of the Mecklenburg territory went to Mecklenburg-Schwerin. (...) The Congress of Viena in 1814-15 recognized it as grand duchy (...). The Nationalsocialist government in 1934 merged it with Mecklenburg-Strelitz into one Land. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica 1981, vol. VI, p. 742.
