Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
The
Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
was a
duchy
in northern
Germany
, consisting of the eastern fifth of the historic
Mecklenburg
region, roughly corresponding with the present-day
Mecklenburg-Strelitz district
(the former
Lordship of Stargard
), and the western of the former
bishopric of Ratzeburg
in modern
Schleswig-Holstein
. At the time of its establishment, the duchy bordered on the territory of
Swedish Pomerania
in the north and of
Brandenburg
in the south.
