{{Short description|15th century treaties between Brandenburg and Pomerania}}
'''Treaty of Prenzlau''' or '''Peace of Prenzlau''' ({{langx|de|Vertrag von Prenzlau, Frieden von Prenzlau, Vergleich von Prenzlau}}) may refer to several treaties during a series of wars between the [[Margraviate of Brandenburg]] and the [[Duchy of Pomerania]] fought for control of [[Pomeranian duchies and dukes|Pomerania-Stettin]], and possession of the [[Uckermark]] in the 15th century. The First Peace of Prenzlau ended a war fought between 1445 and 1448,<ref>Landesgeschichtliche Vereinigung für die Mark Brandenburg, ''Jahrbuch für brandenburgische Landesgeschichte'', 1983, p.98</ref> while the Second Peace of Prenzlau ended a war fought between 1466 and 1468. In older documents, [[Prenzlau]] may be spelled ''Prenzlow'', which was the common spelling during the time period the treaties were drawn and was only changed during the 19th century. Prenzlau is situated in the center of Uckermark.

==First Peace of Prenzlau (1448)==
After a series of conflicts, the Brandenburgian margraves and the Pomeranian dukes partitioned the Uckermark with the Treaty of Prenzlau (1448). The southern parts should belong to Brandenburg, while the northern parts stayed with Pomerania. The northern parts were to be inherited by Brandenburg in case the [[House of Pomerania]] were to become extinct. The peace treaty was prepared in 1447 and signed on 3 May 1448.<ref>Wolf-Dieter Mohrmann, ''Der Landfriede im Ostseeraum während des späten Mittelalters'', Lassleben, 1972, p.285, {{ISBN|3-7847-4002-2}}, {{ISBN|978-3-7847-4002-7}}</ref><ref>Werner Buchholz, ''Pommern'', Siedler, 1999, p.181, {{ISBN|3-88680-272-8}}, {{ISBN|978-3-88680-272-2}}</ref>

==Second Peace of Prenzlau (1472, 1479)==
War started again when [[Stettin]] (Szczecin) refused to hail the Brandenburgian margraves, which it was supposed to following the [[Treaty of Soldin (1466)]]. Brandenburg responded by attacking the Pomeranian duchy and advanced deep into Pomerania-Stettin, which before the war included the Uckermark.

Most of the fighting in this war was ended by a [[truce]], the treaty of Prenzlau (1468): Brandenburg thereby kept the southern Uckermark gained in the course of the war from Pomerania. The truce concluded in September 1468 was prolonged in 1469 in [[Petrikau]].<ref name=Irrgang>Stephanie Irrgang, ''Peregrinatio Academica: Wanderungen und Karrieren von Gelehrten der Universitäten Rostock, Greifswald, Trier und Mainz im 15.

The Second Treaty of Prenzlau (1472) was a peace treaty signed on 31 May 1472 between [[Albert III, Elector of Brandenburg]], and the [[Dukes of Pomerania]]. Based on the terms of the accord, the dukes [[Eric II, Duke of Pomerania|Eric II]] and [[Wartislaw X, Duke of Pomerania|Wartislaw X]] surrendered the Duchy of [[Pomerania-Stettin]] to Albert III, with the Uckermark becoming an integral part of Brandenburg and the remainder of Pomerania-Stettin becoming a Brandenburgian vassal. This accord was confirmed by [[Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor|Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III]] in 1473.<ref name=Irrgang/><ref>Ingo Materna, Wolfgang Ribbe, Kurt Adamy, ''Brandenburgische Geschichte'', Akademie Verlag, 1995, p.206, {{ISBN|3-05-002508-5}}, {{ISBN|978-3-05-002508-7}}</ref><ref>Frank-Lothar Kroll, ''Preußens Herrscher: Von den ersten Hohenzollern bis Wilhelm II.'', Beck, 2006, p.45, {{ISBN|3-406-54129-1}}, {{ISBN|978-3-406-54129-2}}</ref>

A third treaty of Prenzlau (1479) confirmed the 1472 one.<ref name=Irrgang/>
