126 Stoneware
Imported stoneware from the Rhineland and the Westerwald was very popular with the Hamburg upper class as representative tableware and barware. The same applies to the colourfully painted plates and bowls of Werra/Weser ware, which arrived in Hamburg from the southern Lower Saxony and northern Hesse pots via the Bremen transhipment centre.

Middle Ages:
The beginning of the Middle Ages is generally equated with the end of the migration of peoples in Europe, which came to a halt at about the end of the 5th or beginning of the 6th century AD, and the concomitant collapse of the Western Roman Empire. The Middle Ages stood between antiquity and modern times and are characterised by the confluence of Christian and ancient as well as Celtic, Germanic and Slavic developments. With the Renaissance and the Reformation, the modern era began at the latest at the beginning of the 16th century.
Modern period
The modern era began around 1500 with the Reformation and the discovery of America. Characteristic of this era are the enormous changes in society, not only in Europe, which were triggered by events such as the French Revolution, wars, and, last but not least, industrialisation. New technologies made it possible to produce mass goods, and industrial production shifted to cities, which grew into large towns. The invention of new, faster means of transport shortened travel times. Goods, fashions and ideas could now be exchanged much more quickly and widely than before.
The end of the First World War in 1918 marked the beginning of modernity, the main feature of which was the ever faster development of progress.
