The Treaty of Grimnitz (26 August 1529)[1] was the final settlement of a long-standing dispute between the House of Pomerania and the House of Hohenzollern regarding the legal status and succession in the Duchy of Pomerania.[2] It renewed[3] and amended the Treaty of Pyritz of 1493.[2]
With some formal caveats,[4] the House of Pomerania received the Duchy of Pomerania as an immediate imperial fief. In turn the Electors of Brandenburg were granted the right of succession.[5] The treaty was concluded between Joachim I Nestor, Elector of Brandenburg, and the Pomeranian dukes Barnim IX and Georg I in Grimnitz near Eberswalde[6] and was confirmed by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, in 1530 at the Imperial Diet in Augsburg.[7]
