The International Advisory Board was founded in 2018 and advises and supports the EHM in economic, operational and conceptual matters. The focus is on the development of the EHM with special attention to strategic and conceptual positioning as well as national and international cooperation and networking. It usually meets twice a year.

The Hansevolk, a colorful mixed society, has been around for 20 years and enjoys authentically depicting the life of Lübeck’s urban population in the late Middle Ages. We fill numerous roles with life, for example: merchants, clergy, council pharmacist, surgeon, scribe, blacksmith, tinsmiths, cooks, braid makers, seamstresses, city soldiers, innkeeper, minstrels and beggars. www.hansevolk.de

The non-profit association Geschichtserlebnisraum Roter Hahn is active in the area of open child and youth work as well as in the youth welfare service for the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. On a stimulating playground and adjacent forest, pasture and pond areas, children and young people become active together with educational specialists. In their daily work, experiential education, leisure education, environmental education, cultural education or forest education approaches are holistically interlinked – this is how a unique historical experience space has developed since 1999. www.geschichtserlebnisraum.de

The project “European Hanse Ensemble”, founded in 2019, is aimed at talented young musicians, especially in the field of early music. It is formed annually and is made up of musicians who have proven themselves in the master classes of the previous year. With a new program each year, the ensemble goes on a concert tour through different Hanse cities. Works by composers who have worked in the Hanse cities are worked on. www.hanse-ensemble.eu
