The Halberstädter Dreistädtebund was a medieval city ​​association between the economically strong three cities in the region north of the Harz , namely the cities of Halberstadt , Quedlinburg and Aschersleben .

The alliance was founded in 1326 and lasted uninterruptedly until 1477. The cities of Braunschweig and Goslar were also temporarily included in the Federation, for example in 1355. In 1384 the Halberstädter Dreistädtebund was temporarily included in the Thuringian Tri-City Federation .

The aim of the federal partners was to maintain their political independence. Economic interests were also represented jointly. All three cities were also members of the Hanseatic League .
