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.
