Germany

🎧 Listen to Introduction

The two medieval towns of Wismar and Stralsund, located on the Baltic coast in northern Germany, were major trading centres of the Hanseatic League in the 14th and 15th centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries, they became administrative and defence centres for Swedish territories in Germany. They contributed to the development of Brick Gothic architectural types and techniques in the Baltic region, as evidenced by several important brick cathedrals, Stralsund Town Hall and a range of houses for residential, commercial and craft purposes, representing its evolution over the centuries.
