parade from its start at the “Haarmannsbrunnen” to Market Square.

were handed out during the parade and sweetened the last day of the Hansa

was followed by a final ceremony at Market
Square, when the Hansa flag, that was sheltered in
Osnabrück for one year, was presented by Lord Mayor Hans-Jürgen Fip to the
President of the Hanseatic League, Bernd Saxe.
He handed it to the Mayor of Lippstadt, Christof Sommer, where the next
International Hansa Convention will take place in 2007.
