Kontor
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
A kontor was a foreign trading post of the Hanseatic League.[1]
In addition to the major kontore in London (Steelyard), Ipswich, Bruges, Bergen (Bryggen), and Novgorod (Peterhof), some ports had a representative merchant and a warehouse.
Of all the kontor buildings, only Bergen's kontor, known as Bryggen in Norway, has survived[citation needed] until the present day. The Hanseatic kontor at Bryggen was closed in 1754 and replaced by a "Norwegian kontor", run by Norwegian citizens, but still with a large element of German immigrants. Bergen's kontor is on the UNESCO list of the World Cultural Heritage sites.
The Hanseatic Warehouse in King's Lynn, England, survives – but it was converted into offices in 1971.
