The plague also breaks out in Gröpelingen on Bremish territory in the spring and summer of 1712.

The city council downplays the plague cases in order not to impair trade, but sets up a health commission and a pest house for quarantine measures.

Isolation of the infected does not prevent the plague from spreading into Bremen, but reduces the resulting deaths, which in 1712 are "only" fifty-six in Gröpelingen, which had a population of three hundred and sixty, and twelve in Bremen, which has a population of twenty-eight thousand.

The plague will return to Bremen in 1713, however, killing another one hundred and eighty people.
