Town to the west of Bremen, and seat of power of the house of Oldenburg, of which the Danish kings were descendants since Christian I in 1448. Commercially overshadowed by Bremen, it became important for the Icelandic trade when the count managed to acquire a license for the harbour Kummerwage in Iceland for his subject Joachim Kolling in 1580.

Bremen
Gerdt Gerbade, Hinrich Albers and Albert Koster to Bremen: respond to the prohibition to sail to the harbour Stickingsholm in Iceland, for which they had received a license. Contrary to what the Oldenburg merchants claim, Stickingsholm is a different harbour from Neswage, and that the single ship of 35 last which the Oldenburg merchants use to sail to Iceland is not big enough to meet the demands of the locals. As they have already prepared their ships for this year's journey, they ask permission to use their rightful license at least for one more year.

Bremen to king Christian IV of Denmark: complaint about the prohibition to sail to Stickningsholm in Iceland, which is, contrary to what the Oldenburg merchants say, a separate harbour from Neswage. Moreover, the Oldernburg merchants are not able to meet the needs of the islanders with a single ship. If the king is unwilling to allow continued trading there, then at least permission to sail for a single year is requested, to reclaim outstanding debts.
