Region/Country: Region/Land: Lübeck, Holy Roman Empire
Lübeck was founded in the twelfth century at the Baltic Sea coast, and quickly became (one of) the most important centres of the developing Hanseatic network. Merchants from Lübeck were dominant in the Bergen stockfish trade until the late fifteenth century. The commercial significance of the city declined with the structural changes in the European economy and trade in the sixteenth century.

[Bremen]
Bernd Losekanne to [Bremen]: final plea against Christoffer Meyer, in which he explains that three of his trading partners mutinied against him in Iceland, and although he had the right as skipper to expel the mutineers from the company, they conspired against him, so that he was forced to leave the company and fit out a ship himself. That being the case, he has as much right as his former trading partners to use the harbour Ostforde, especially since the trade with Iceland has been freed from restrictions, but if they really insist on prohibiting him to use the Ostforde, they themselves are not welcome in Roderforde, the harbour he used last year.
