history
The Hanseatic History Association can look back on almost one hundred and fifty years of history and today has a great reputation, especially in the scientific field. Its formation was decided at a meeting of interested personalities and associations from several Hanseatic cities on May 24, 1870 in the town hall of Stralsund on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Stralsund Peace of 1370 and carried out a year later. The first chairman of the association was the Lübeck teacher and historian Wilhelm Mantels from 1871 to 1879 , who as a teacher at the Katharineum also headed the city library . He was followed by Senator Wilhelm Brehmer , who was chairman from 1879 to 1903. In 1903, the future mayor Emil Ferdinand Fehling took over the management of the association until 1920. From there, the chairmanship passed to Mayor Johann Martin Andreas Neumann in 1921 .
