Region/Country: Region/Land: Bremen, Holy Roman Empire
Bremen, a harbour city on the river Weser, is first mentioned in the 8th century, and became as archbishopric a clerical centre for the Christianisation of Northern Europe. It later became an important trading centre, and as such steered a growing independent course from the bishop, although it did not always have the status of Free Imperial City. It was among the most important members of the Hanse, until the last Hanseatic Diet.

Niels Busk to Fritz Pöner, toll collector in Rendsburg: mentions how he has talked to his son in Aarhus, who was interested in applying for a license for a harbour in Iceland, and that one harbour in the west has become free. As he already has a license for Ströme himself, he is not interested in it, but he has heard that men from Bremen have also applied for it. Therefore, Pöner's sons should apply immediately, as the Bremen men will receive an answer on February 14.
