PMR-D8164 
 Norway, Hordaland, Bergen: Founded in the 11th century, the city was the ancient capital of the country and flourished as a centre of trade. The quarter known as "Tyskebryggen" (now "Bryggen") was largely occupied by German traders of the Hanseatic League which came in 1350. All of the wooden buildings have been reconstructed at some period after fires.
