The Hanseatic Countries

Today we will be focusing on something pretty interesting about the Hanseatic League. Every year from June 21 until the 24th a city is chosen from the Hanseatic league to host and celebrate Hanseatic Day. On June 21st - 24th, the city of Rostock will be hosting the jubilee (traditional) festival called Hanseatic Day. This jubilee as they call it in the The Hanseatic Day 2018 article will actually be the 800th anniversary of this festival. I find it interesting that this tradition goes back to the medieval ages, since 1358 to be exact. This event is set up to to bring visitors, businesses and other organisations together and each year a different city of the Hanseatic League hosts the event. The event will have a back-in-time effect on you, because of the old fashioned buildings around, the traditional clothing, and the traditional trading ships. That's right traditional trading SHIPS! That will be entering the dock to sell goods just like the good old'n day...

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Hanseatic Countries blog. Within this blog we will be discussing all different kinds of information, history, and news events that occurred or occurring in this area. As well as international business that is currently happening in these countries. The Hanseatic Countries were actually cities that were joined together to form a merchant guild, that would go across northern Europe and other areas. The league was meant to be a group of cities joint together to protect these trades, places where they could go and be safe. We will be posting more information through out the next few weeks and we hope you enjoy!
