Stralsund, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and on the Stralesund (the Baltic sound between the mainland and the island of Rügen), was a rival to Lübeck and became a Hansestadt in 1293.  According to Wikipedia there were 300 ships sailing out of Stralsund in the 14th century.

Stralsund and Wismar joined the UNESCO list of world heritage sites in 2002.  The website is here.
