nach dem großen Brand von Bryggen vom 19. Mai 1702 stammen, als der damalige Sekretär der Bergenfahrer der Deutschen Hanse, der Möllner Jurist C.W Höltich, vor allem die Kontorbücher und Akten vor der Vernichtung retten konnte.

(Das eigentliche Hansemuseum im Finnegården wird derzeit noch restauriert.)

Made a quick (and dirty, have to check the machine) copy of yesterday evening's #Geskizzel and threw a bit of watercolour at it for enhancement.

#Lübeck, Old Town, Trave River

It's a little weird to see how omnipresent the #HanseaticLeague is in #Hamburg

Obviously it shaped this city, but I wasn't expecting it to be so celebrated. It wasn't exactly a benevolent organization; they had no qualms about starving entire communities to force them into trade agreements that were favourable to the league.

Yet every other building seems to sport the name on its front in large letters, often accompanied by claims of being "traditional".

Makes me instantly distrustful.

Annual #Christmas market in #Krakow. Opened Nov. - Jan., it’s full of sweets, decorations, concerts, #ChristmasCarols & people from every corner of the world

#Nepal clothes, #Ukraine food from Kyiv. Ate #Belgian fries, others had Kürtőskalács from #Hungary, with chocolate. We all bought small precious stones from #Italy. Flashback 2 the times when #Cracow was a part of the #HanseaticLeague

Majority of goods’re local, from #Poland & #LesserPoland. What a rich culture. The winter city is magical
