On 4-7 June 2020, THE HANSA celebrated the 1st Virtual Hanseatic Day in the history of the Hanseatic League, which took place on the www.hansetagebrilon.de website and on social media. A highlight of the event was the signing of the "Brilon Declaration", taking a stand for a united and peaceful Europe.

When Low German merchants from Soest, Münster, Groningen and Lübeck moored on the banks of the river Neva in 1193 they did not know that they were among the founders of a powerful association, which became known from the 14th century onwards as the „Dudesche Hense“.
On 11-13 September the members of the Rhenish Youth Hansa biked along a newly established Hansa-themed bike path by the river Rhine. They started the 170 km tour at the harbour in Neuss. The first stop was Wesel, bevor the youngsters continued to Kalkar and Emmerich. In each of the Hanseatic cities they were welcomed by the mayor.
