Annual Conference of the Hanseatic History Society in Lübeck
800 years ago, in 1226, Lübeck was granted the Imperial Charter of Freedom – a pivotal event in the history of the city and the Hanseatic League. This anniversary is more than just a historical retrospective: it invites us to reflect on power, autonomy and memory – themes that have shaped the Hanseatic League both then and now. The conference focuses on the question of how power was exercised, negotiated and narrated in the Hanseatic region.
