The Hansa League

During the twelfth century, Hansa was found from an agreement between the North Hamburg and Luebeck that laid at the contrary of Danish Peninsula. In that era, fishing was one of the important business since at Luebeck,  fishing boats had convenient access to the coast of Scania. Scania was also known to be at the border of Sweden during the Danish territory.

The fishing business became more popular because many European Christians had concluded and yet decided to boycott all types of meats on Fridays, thus their dietary meal relied on seafood especially fishes. Luebeck, thus then became the main stream market to capitalize large supplies in fish business. However, due to the lack of technology and no electricity in the era, preserving fish became a huge issue. However, the issue didn't took too long to solve, since at Hamsburg, in the Jutland Peninsula had salt production which helped the people in preserving meats and dry the fishes.
