The Hansa as part of the UNESCO World Heritage

The Hanseatic League is World Heritage. From the seven spires of Lübeck's old town, to the former Hanseatic Kontor in Bergen, Norway, to the town hall and Roland statue in Bremen, Germany, seven sites of the old Hansa have been recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. The history of the Hansa itself has also made it onto the World Heritage Register in the form of 21 original documents.
