Hanseatic city of Wismar
Baltic Sea Air and Tradition
The old town centre of Wismar provides a perfect illustration of what a leading member of the Hanseatic League must have looked like during the glory days of this ancient trade federation in the 14th century. The historical town centre has preserved its medieval layout virtually unchanged and bears all the key characteristics of a coastal trading town established under the “Law of Lübeck”. The old buildings, including some extraordinary and unique monuments, are capable of providing the visitor with an impression of the political importance and wealth of the medieval Baltic seaports. Wismar is the only Hanseatic League town in the Southern Baltic of similar size and architectural importance which has been preserved in anywhere near its original state.
