Lübeck, the Queen of the Hansa, was where it all started. Prior to the establishment of the League, Saxon traders used the city as a base for their trade to Scandinavia and the Eastern Baltic. Lübeck formed an alliance in 1241 with Hamburg and later with Cologne, challenged Scandinavian dominance of the Baltic, established colonies in England, Livonia and Russia, and became the dominant city of the League, hosting the first General Diet of the Hansa in 1356.
These splendid cards came from Rainer. The first, of the Holstentor, is Torsten Krüger; the others, by Thomas Radbruch, are of Mengestraße, Wahmstraße, Puppenbrücke and Glandorpshof.
