EDITORS COMMENTS
Bryggen in Bergen, Norway: A Timeless Hanseatic Heritage Site (circa 1930s) Bryggen, a captivating and historic district in Bergen, Norway, is depicted in this evocative photograph taken in the 1930s. This picturesque area, also known as Tyskebryggen, boasts an intriguing history that dates back to the early 18th century. After the devastating fire of 1702, Bryggen was rebuilt, and the resulting structures are a testament to the resilience and architectural prowess of the time. The Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the fjord are a striking sight, with their distinctive wooden clapperboard facades and gabled roofs. The buildings' intricate designs and harmonious arrangement create a unique and enchanting Norwegian street scene. Bryggen's rich history has earned it a place on the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage sites since 1979. This recognition highlights the significance of these structures as a testament to the Hanseatic League's influence on Norwegian trade and architecture during the Middle Ages. In this photograph, the wooden buildings stand proudly against the backdrop of the fjord, their charm undiminished by the encroaching modernity of the era. Cars and trucks are visible in the background, hinting at the changing times, but the essence of Bryggen remains unchanged. The Roseries Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of Bryggen in Bergen, Norway.
