Hanserezeption im Lübeck der Weimarer Republik? Akteure, Hintergründe und Tendenzen

During the Weimar Republic, the term 'Hanseat' was selectively used to evoke traditional Hanseatic ideals such as economic success and loyalty, primarily by conservative and liberal politicians and merchants. However, broader societal adoption of this identity was limited, with its use often confined to obituaries or honoring elite members. This shift suggests that the 'old Hanseatic ideals' had faded significantly by World War I, challenging the enduring positive perception of the Hanse. The study analyzes political discourse and historical records from Lübeck to trace how these ideals were invoked and contested during a politically turbulent period.
