| Abstract | The German Hanse is a well-known phenomenon. Hanse is integral for northern German identity - and now used to historicise the European Union. However, Hanse is, in fact, little understood and research continues to re-explain the phenomenon. How to study, construct, and, essentially, remember Hanse? This session invites the audience to discuss this phenomenon before the background of current strands of historiography and new methodologies and perspectives in research, with an archaeological perspective on an immaterial research object and a museum taking on the challenge of constructing Hanse for a diverse audience. |
