Tyske Bryggen - Hansequarters in Bergen

Strandsiden, Bergen, Hordaland • Norway German salesmen were invited to Norway in the medievals after the black death and some years of bad harvest had threatened the country. They brought the corn (wheat...) and in return were granted the monopoly on selling the dried codfish from northern Norway to the catholic south European countries. For some years this helped to save the Norwegians from starvation yet on the other hand side it caused a misbalance and a far too high dependence. The German Hansesalesmen settled in this particular area, called Tyskebryggen or Bryggen, in the harbor of Bergen. uuid="7500DEDF-9DC4-4154-94B6-AE953479731D" id="Norway lilleulven.com 20140624_211847_NO_Hordaland_Bergen_Tyske Bryggen - Hansequarters in Bergen_www.LilleUlven.com.dng Norway Lilleulven.com"
