The siege of Stralsund was a siege laid on Stralsund by Albrecht von Wallenstein's Imperial Army during the Thirty Years' War, from 13 May 1628 to 4 August 1628. [3] Stralsund was aided by Denmark and Sweden, with considerable Scottish participation. The lifting of the siege ended Wallenstein's series of victories,[4] and contributed to his downfall.[5] The Swedish garrison in Stralsund was the first on German soil in history.[6] The battle marked the de facto entrance of Sweden into the war.[4]
