Map of Stade drawn in 1745 by Otto Bernhard von Schwaan

According to Mark Swanson:
"There are also some Stade maps drawn by my 4th great-grandfather Otto Bernhard von Schwaan in the Stade Archive, from 1745 and 1747. He's the one who got disinherited for bad behavior and lost his nobility. I asked if there was any story about the maps or him, but the archivist didn't know of it."
