1358 - 1669 The Hanseatic League (apr 8, 1356 – may 15, 1669)
Description:
The Hanseatic League (Latin: Hansa Teutonica) was an influential medieval commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in central and northern Europe.Growing from a few north German towns in the late 12th century, the League ultimately encompassed nearly 200 settlements across seven modern-day countries; at its height, it stretched from the Netherlands in the west to Russia in the east, and reached as far north as Swedish Gotland and as far south as Kraków, Poland
The first "Hansetag", i.e. a general meeting of the Hanseatic League, dates back to 1356, attended by representatives from almost all the so-called "Hansestädte", i.e. Hanseatic cities.
