The "Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen's" former territory consists about of today's following "Lower Saxon" counties (, or ) of Cuxhaven (southerly), Osterholz, Rotenburg upon Wümme and Stade as well as of the Bremian exclave of the city of Bremerhaven and from 1145 to 1526 today's Schleswig-Holsteinian county of Ditmarsh. The city of Bremen was legally a part of the bishopric until 1646, but de facto ruled by its burghers and didn't tolerate the prince-archbishop's residence within its walls any more since 1313. Therefore, the prince-archbishop moved to Vörde (). "Verden's" former prince-bishopric's territory is represented about by the eastern part of the modern "County of Verden" and the southern part of today's "County of Rotenburg", both in "Lower Saxony".
