Hartwig Hagefeldt, first-citizen (anset borger) in Lübeck, is mentioned as dying in 1555, the 28th
of February (as found in 'Lübeckische Ratslinie', from the published archival records of Lübeck).
None of the Bornholmer Hartwigs took the surname Hagefeldt; but rather abided by the Scandinavian
tradition of using the father's given name as the children's surname (in this case dropping the
'-sen' suffix).
During Hartwig Hagefeldt's time a person did not become a citizen by virtue of being born in a
community. Citizenship was a valuable privilege that included: the right to engage in business in a
community; rights and protections under the law; permission to reside in a community without being
expelled. Citizenship was extended by individual communities to some of their inhabitants,
primarily those who wanted to engage in business, and did not pertain to citizenship in the country
as a whole. Until the twentieth century, only males of the middle and upperclasses, mostly
merchants and tradesmen, were granted citizenship.

Hartwig Hagefeldt, first-citizen (ansetborger) in 'Lybaek' (Luebeck),
is mentioned as dying in 1555, the 28th of February (as found in
'Luebeckische Ratslinie', from the published archival records of
Luebeck). None of the Bornholmer Hartwigs took the surname Hagefeldt;
but rather abided by the scandinavian tradition of using the father's
given name as the children's surname (in this case dropping the '-
sen' suffix). During Hartwig Hagefeldt's time a person did not become
a citizen by virtue of being born in a community. Citizenship was a
valuable privilege that included: the right to engage in business in
a community; rights and protections under the law; permission to
reside in a community without being expelled. Citizenship was
extended by individual communities to some of their inhabitants,
primarily those who wanted to engage in business, and did not pertain
to citizenship in the country as a whole. Until the twentieth
century, only males of the middle and upper classes, mostly merchants
and tradesmen, were granted citizenship. The following is a look at
relations between Danmark and Luebeck in the time period of Hartwig
Hagefeldt: In 1509 Danmark and Luebeck were engaged in one of their
numerous skirmishes. The Danes had a famous battleship called the
'Svane' (english: Swan) - which was reputed to be the largest and
most powerful in the world; but the Luebeck'ers in several small
vessels surprised, attacked and destroyed it. After this victory a
fleet of 14 Luebeck ships ravaged the Danish islands and did much
damage to Danish shipping. Nine Swedish ships joined them, and the
combined fleet almost ruined Lolland and Bornholm. Later, in the
summer of 1509, a great naval battle took place between16 Luebeck men-
of-war and 17 Danish ships of about equal size and strength. One of
the latter was a new vessel, the 'Engel' (english: Angel), larger
than the unlucky Svane had been. The Luebeck'ers had landed some of
their guns and men to attack the fortress of Hammershus, on the
northern tip of Bornholm, when the Danish fleet appeared, quite
unexpectedly, and attacked at once. The battle lasted all day, and
at night both sides claimed the victory. Some days later the fight
was resumed, when, after several hours of fierce contest, the Engel
had her rudder shot away and was taken in tow by her consorts, and
the whole Danish fleet fled.
The Hanseatic League was an association of medieval Germanic cities
and merchant groups which became a powerful economic and political
force in northern Europe. With a centre for meetings in the city of
Luebeck, the members established an important network of Baltic trade,
and a string of commercial bases stretching from Novgorod (Russia) to
London (England) and from Bergen (Norway) to Bruegge/Bruges /Belgium).
Its earliest union dates to 1241, when Luebeck and Hamburg made
agreements for mutual defense in trading; the first meeting of the
'Diet' in 1256 included: Luebeck, Hamburg, Lueneburg, Wismar, Rostock,
and Stralsund; later other towns joined the league. The league
reached the height of its power in the 14th and 15th centuries when
it contributed to the defeat of Valdemar 4. Atterdag of Danmark in
1367-68, and secured control of Baltic trade by Peace of Stralsund
in1370. It now included such widely separated places as: Novgorod,
Reval, Riga, Danzig (Gdansk), Magdeburg, Koeln/Cologne, Bruegge/Bruges,
and London; and gave trading privileges to merchants of many other
towns. In its heyday during the14th century the Hansa included well
over a hundred towns; its influence gradually faded with the
emergence of powerful competitor states, and the last meeting of the
'Diet' was held in Luebeck in 1669. The term 'Hanseatic town' was
retained by Luebeck, Hamburg, and Bremen as long as they were imperial
free-cities. Luebeck is located on two small streams connecting with
Luebeck Bay. It has five 13-14th century Gothic churches, a Gothic
town hall, and a 13th century hospital. Founded in 1143 by the Count
of Holstein; it was taken by Henry the Lion (Heinrich der Loewe) in
1158. Luebeck secured final privileges of an Imperial free-city in
1226, and became leading center for medieval German trade in Baltic
region and 'Queen of Hanse'. In 1510 the league seized Bornholm as
'security' on an unpaid loan given to the Danish crown; this lasted
for a period of 50 years. It began its decline from power in the
16th century.
