Bergen was during the medieval a city with a significant influence from European trade. Among some, there were farms and trading organisations from Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom. Bergen was strongly affected by the Hanseatic trade. Nonetheless, many other countries tried to compete against the Hanseatic Germans, who during the late medieval had their trading nest at Bryggen. Vågsbunnen was therefore strongly affected by other trading countries and craftmanship. This international mark put a trace in the built structure, the name of the streets and the handicraft professions.
