Quedlinburg - Germany. Amazing city

Quedlinburg is just so wonderful. It is called the cradle of Germany. Once the political heart of a medieval empire. This town is stunning to walk through.

Sciency thoughts:

I love the Hansa, just imagine that ammount of cooperation! Over 200 cities from all of north half of Europe, from half dozen cultures and many external rulers(Kings, Princes, Duces) just supporting eachother in assuring safe of trade routes.

At height of power Hansa have trade posts from London and Bordeaux, through Bergen and Venice, to Novgorod. Fought against Holland, England, twice against Denmark with quite succeses. Imagine it like if Ebuy sellers get mad at some country, so they go there and euromaidan its ass. Most impresive is that Hansa survived over 400 years.

Hanseatic merchants feed most of Europe, not only by Polish-Ukrainian-Russian grain, but also what was their biggest contribution to continent prosperity: salted herrings.

Yes, just fish, but hear me out. Medieval peasants can't hunt for meat, while domestic animals were too valuable to kill, so their only source of proteins was from fishes or eggs. Herrings were easy to caught in big quantity so even after shipping them from Norway they were cheap enough for everyone to buy during winter or harvest time.

This time I have sorces for my nonsence:

"The German Hansa" by Philippe Dollinger

And "Hansa, ruler of the seas" by Henryk Samsonowicz

Det Hanseatske Museum, Bryggen, Bergen 1976.

If all goes well, we shall be visiting Norway in late summer, the first time in many years to visit that country of my paternal ancestors. Located in Bryggen, the old port area, this small museum offered exhibits on the history of Bergen, one of the Hanseatic cities, indeed one of the most important ones, connecting trade between Scandinavia and what is now Germany. The very name of Bergen gives a hit of its connections to the German speaking ports of which it was effectively a colony. Berge means mountains in German, but the comparable term in Nynorsk would be Fjell.

Extracting the much needed raw materials from the northern interior to the safety of the port towns (where they are promptly shipped off to the Hanseatic core-cities) is at best adventurous and at worst suicidal.
