Lubeck, on the Baltic north-east of Hamburg, was an important trading centre from the twelfth century. It was made a free city of the Empire in 1226, with the right to mint its own coins, but was restricted for war service to the town itself. It had authority to alter the town's charter at the council's will, and it ultimately became the leading town of the Hanseatic League.
