From 6 to 8 November, delegates from ten countries met in Brunswick for the Autumn Commission meeting to assess the progress of preparations for the 47th International Hanseatic Day. The theme of the Hanseatic Day, which will take place in the ‘City of Lions’ from 10 to 13 June 2027, is ‘Joining forces for innovation’.

Brunswick will host the International Hanseatic Day 2027, which brings the history, culture and present-day life of the Hansa to life in a variety of ways. People, ideas and traditions come together at markets, on stages and in exhibitions. The programme is divided into a public programme for visitors and a conference programme for delegates from the Hanseatic cities.

The Business Forum ties in with the motto of the Hanseatic Day and is entirely dedicated to innovation and cooperation. Youth delegates from the Hanseatic cities can look forward to a varied ‘youthHansa’ programme, organised in collaboration with young people from Brunswick. A HANSEartWORKS exhibition on the theme of ‘fusion matters’ and the Hansa Organ Festival will also take place again as part of the Hanseatic Day.

Delegations from the Hanseatic cities and anyone else interested are warmly invited to come to Brunswick for the 47th International Hanseatic Day!
