The siege of Kalmar occurred in 1611 during the Kalmar War and constituted the major part of an intensive conflict between Denmark–Norway and Sweden for control of the strategically important city of Kalmar and its castle. For centuries, Kalmar was, from a strategic point of view, considered 'to be the key to Sweden'. The country that was in charge of the city with its fortified castle would reign over the Kalmar Strait and have free access to the north, along the Swedish east coast towards Stockholm. From this southern fulcrum in Sweden, a land-based attack against Danish territory and a naval attack with the Swedish navy could have been made possible.

  • Belägringen av Kalmar ägde rum 1611 under Kalmarkriget och utgjorde den största delen av en intensiv konflikt mellan Danmark-Norge och Sverige om herraväldet över den strategiskt viktiga staden Kalmar och dess slott. Kalmar var i århundraden, i strategiskt perspektiv, ansett som "nyckeln till Sverige". Det land som behärskade staden med den befästa borgen skulle härska över Kalmarsund och ha fri tillgång norrut längs den svenska östkusten mot Stockholm. Från denna sydliga stödpunkt i Sverige kunde ett infall mot danskt territorium på land och anfall från sjöss med den svenska flottan vara möjligt. (sv)
