Hansa - When city-states ruled the seas…

The first trade unions of European cities were established from the 12th century, but the most famous and largest union was the one called Hansa, which included all port cities of the Baltic and North Seas.

It began in 1241 with the Treaty of Lübeck with the city of Soest. Later, the union expanded to include other German, Danish, Pomeranian, Prussian and Scandinavian ports. At its peak in the 15th century, the Hansa was a commercial and military power, and the most powerful cities of the union were richer and more politically influential than entire states and their monarchs. Some cities were practically separate states, including the great Gdańsk (initially belonging to the Teutonic State-Prussia) or the rich Lübeck, which remained the seat of the union's meetings.

Over time, competition from independent Dutch merchants weakened the position of the Hanseatic cities. Ultimately, in 1438, war broke out between the Dutch and the Hansa cities, which ultimately weakened the union, but it is worth remembering that for several centuries many cities in Western, Northern and Eastern Europe formed a kind of equivalent of today's European Union, and many cities and countries experienced their greatest prosperity at that time.

“The colourful brigade of German knights were trooped about a Castle or Palace, to draw wonder and awe from the commonalty—propping up the view of their lieges.”

From “A Study of Knights; Their Stations and Issues of Order” by Walter Hitchcock (1964)

Saints and monsters...

The Gothic monumental Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Toruń is a true medieval gallery of authentic paintings that take the viewer to a completely different world... How did medieval people see the world? I don't think we know it, but these centuries-old paintings give a lot of clues for the imagination. There are not only saints on them, but also monsters, buildings and strange places.

Victory, Even Flow, Why Amnesia@Piano, Lüdo, 26.09.2024

Kurz vor halb acht war es noch nicht richtig voll und ich befürchtete bereits, dass Heavy Metal mal wieder nicht angesagt sei in unserer Stadt. Als meine alten Kumpels von Why Amesia? jedoch die Bühne betraten, füllte es sich und der Mix aus Alternative, Rock und auch mal einigen Blueselementen schien den Leuten durchaus zu gefallen. Zudem gibt es in dieser schönen Location auch immer noch Bier aus Gläsern und zu vernünftigen Konditionen. Mit aktuellem Album "Angels' Share" und einem neuen Bassisten im Gepäck konnten die beiden Frontfrauen auf jeden Fall einen gelungenen Tourstart hinlegen. Im Foyer traf ich dann, weil meine Kumpels immer ihrer nervigen Tabaksucht frönen, Emma, und forderte sie direkt zum Armdrücken auf, um das Eis zu brechen. Es stellte sich heraus, dass sie gleich auf die Bühne müsse, um ihre erste Show mit den Italienern Even Flow zu machen, deren aktuelles Album "Rinascimento" ich mir auch gerade zugelegt habe. Sie kommt aus Frankreich und singt eigentlich bei der Melodic-Metal-Band Attractive Chaos, aber da der Sänger gerade mit seiner Band Serenity unterwegs ist, ist sie kurzerhand eingesprungen. Die nette und bezaubernde Frau verließ höflich nach einiger Weile unseren Tisch, um sich einzusingen, und das hat wohl einiges gebracht, denn der Ersatz war mehr als gelungen. Unter Beifall spielte auch diese geniale Band etwa 40 Minuten. Einziges Manko war vielleicht das Fehlen eines zweiten Gitarristen, denn mal kam ein Solo, mal eine Rhythmusgitarre vom Playback. Dazu natürlich noch symphonische Anteile, was aber durchaus Usus ist. Musikalisch gewürzt mit einer Prise Prog und normalem Rock. Wie erwartet, enterten Victory dann gegen 21 Uhr die Bühne. Da gab es dann mal richtigen, urtümlichen Heavy Metal mit der deutschen Gitarrenlegende Herman Frank, der auch einige Accept-Alben eingespielt hat. Victory hörte ich ja bereits seit meiner Teenager-Zeit und war nun froh, dass die nach dem bombastischen, neuen Album auch wieder am Start sind. Auch der gute Sänger kam mir bekannt vor. Und ich hatte recht: Mit Gianni Pontillo habe ich tatsächlich auch mal vor Jahren bei einer seiner Shows mit Pure Inc. in Dortmund gesungen. Die Jungs haben nicht nur neue Songs gespielt, sondern auch Klassiker wie "Temples Of Gold" abgerockt. Mit Zugaben etwa 1,5 Stunden. Herman war deutlich geschafft und hat alles gegeben und musste sich sogar mal im Set kurz hinsetzen. Eine Wahnsinnsshow, die für ordentlichen Adrenalinausstoss gesorgt hat. Danke, dass ich dabei sein konnte und ein Kompliment an die junge Agentur Lucky Bob, die den Metal endlich wieder in die Öffentlichkeit bringt.
