The Lifeblood of Lübeck

The regulation of timber and workforce in the maritime sector was once the lifeblood of our great republic. During the early 15th century however, we lost the monopoly on shipbuilding and the goods associated to it and thus lost the firm grasp on the seas themselves. Despite numerous setbacks the Hansa has recently rediscovered its long-lost power in the trade of naval supplies by re-establishing control over the markets of our home city and abroad. What this means for our future not many can clearly say, but the positive development of our city returning to its roots is certainly a sign of prosperous times to come!
