Hanseatic cities
Old values for new trade relations
The league and its name may sound vintage – but in fact they are far from being outdated. We know the HANSE as the oldest and also the most successful association of merchants during the middle and late Middle Ages. Also it is a synonym for values such as honesty, honourableness, trust and fairness providing the basis for trade relations. And these very values are becoming more and more essential these days.
That‘s why the HANSE brand lives on. We are determined to strengthen the ancient union and to profit from it in the modern age economy as well.

195 cities in 16 countries
Today there are 195 cities in 16 European countries organized in the city association of the HANSEATIC LEAGUE. This makes the union the biggest voluntary association of cities worldwide, and there is a lot of power and potential yet to be uncovered. Nowadays the HANSE stretches from France to Finland, and from Iceland to Russia. But its roots reach way back to the Middle Ages: Only cities that are able to document their direct or indirect association with the historic HANSETIC LEAGUE are eligible for a membership. And only a few among the formerly 200 Hanseatic cities are not or not yet organized in this exclusive league – this surely proves that the spirit of the HANSE is still alive.
