history

With effect from November 17, 2015, the change from the Retail Association North (EHV Nord) to Handelsverband Nord (HV Nord) will be implemented.

On May 23, 2013, the members of the North Retail Association (EHV Nord) and the Hamburg Retail Trade Associations (FHE) decided to merge under the umbrella of the EHV Nord . The merger took effect on July 1, 2013.

At the end of 2006 the name was changed from Retail Association North-East eV Schleswig-Holstein / Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to Retail Association North eV Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein / Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. At the same time, the professional associations of the Hamburg retail trade (FHE) were included as a regional association in the Northern Retail Association.

The EHV Nord-Ost eV emerged on January 1, 1994 from the merger of the Schleswig-Holstein Retail Association with the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Retail Association, which was founded in 1990. The forerunner of the Retail Association Schleswig-Holstein is the Kiel Retailers Association .

The forerunner of the professional associations of the Hamburg retail trade (FHE) is the Chamber of Commerce in Hamburg founded in 1904. The beginnings of organized retail in Hamburg go back a long way in history. As early as 1375, the small traders from Hamburg merged as a profession to form the Krameramt.

Associations of merchants such as a Kramer company or a guild (merchants) are historically documented forms of organization in which the merchants exercised their interests in the past. They are regarded as the forerunners of the retailer associations from which the EHV Nord emerged in the north.
