Region/Country: Region/Land: Hordaland, Norway
Biggest city on the western coast of Norway. A Hanseatic Kontor was established here in the 1360s, which was dominated by merchants from Lübeck, and from the 16th century onwards, Bremen. The privileges of the Kontor granted Bergen staple rights for the Northern (stockfish) trade, but forbade German merchants to trade with Northern Norway and the Norwegian skattlande directly.
