Hanseatic cities

Almost 200 towns and cities throughout Europe belong to DIE HANSE. The cultural heritage of the Hanseatic era is still visible in many places today - not only on the coasts of the North Sea and Baltic Sea.

From the smallest Hanseatic town of Straupe in Latvia with only 400 inhabitants to pulsating metropolises such as Hamburg or Cologne: experience the diversity of the European Hanseatic cities!

Note
Due to the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, the Russian and Belarusian Hanseatic cities were excluded from all activities and roles in the Union of Cities THE HANSA by decision of the 2022 Assembly of Delegates until further notice. They are therefore not presented in the list and on the map of members. Read the position of THE HANSA at the 2022 Assembly of Delegates here.
