A warm welcome
The Research Centre for the History of the Hanseatic League and the Baltic Sea Region (FGHO) has existed since 1993 and was affiliated to the Archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck in 1997. With the opening of the European Hanseatic Museum Lübeck in 2015, the research centre can also be found here.
The FGHO plans and coordinates historical and interdisciplinary research in the former Hanseatic economic area from Portugal to Russia. It produces its own academic and popular science publications, organises lectures, supports media presentations for the public (press, film and television) and was heavily involved in the development of the content concept for the European Hansemuseum in Lübeck.
30 years of FGHO
In 2023, the Research Centre for the History of the Hanseatic League and the Baltic Sea Region turned 30 years old. We celebrated this with an anniversary year and a day of festivities under the motto "Hanseatic League for all. Research for all".
