Encyclopedic overview
Brest ( German pronunciation: [bʁɛst] ) is a municipality in the district of Stade, Lower Saxony, northern Germany.
It belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen. In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown. In 1823, the Duchy was abolished and its territory became part of the Stade Region.
