Hanseaten unter dem Hakenkreuz
Die »Firma Hamburg« in schwerer See Für die mittlerweile 350-jährige Geschichte der Handelskammer Hamburg verlief keine Zeit so folgenschwer wie die Jahre von 1932 bis 1948. Wie haben sich die wirtschaftlichen Eliten der Hansestadt in der Endphase der Weimarer Republik und während der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft verhalten, welche Rolle haben die Kaufleute und die Handelskammer als ihr institutioneller Mittelpunkt gespielt? Uwe Bahnsen beschreibt das Verhalten der Kaufmannschaft und zeichnet die Rolle und Funktion der Handelskammer in der wohl dramatischsten und schwersten Phase der ham - burgischen Stadtgeschichte nach. Vor dem Hintergrund eines gesamthistorischen Umfeldes liefert der Autor unverzichtbare Erkenntnisse über die Kaufleute und ihre wichtigste Institution, die so eng mit Staat und Politik verbunden war wie nur wenige andere. Eine spannende Lektüre über die Gründe politischen und wirtschaftlichen Handelns der Hamburger Kaufmannschaft sowie über die Abgründe, aber auch über Lichtblicke von Menschlichkeit in schweren Zeiten.
Working for Hamburg's Success
The history of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce is a tale of intrepid traders and mariners, accomplished diplomats, valiant industrialists and true Hanseatic tradition. It is a story of foresight and persistence, of a willingness to embrace reform and the courage to break new ground, and occasionally of misjudgement and despondency. There is a lot to discover about Hamburg and the world in this highly enjoyable read.

"Aryanisation" in Hamburg
Much has been written about Nazi anti-Jewish policies, about atrocities of the Wehrmacht, and about the life of the Jews during the Third Reich. However, relatively little is known about the behavior of non-Jewish Germans. This book, published to wide acclaim in its original edition, shows how many "ordinary Germans" became involved in what they saw as a legally sanctioned process of ridding Germany and Europe of their Jews. Bajohr's study offers a major contribution to our understanding of this process in that it focusses on one of its most important aspects, namely the gradual exclusion of Jews from economic life in Hamburg, one of the largest centers of Jewish life in Europe and one in which many of them had been part of the Hanseatic patriciate before 1933. The sad conclusion of this study is that it was not necessarily antisemitism that motivated "ordinary burghers" but unrestrained greed that led them to betray their former co-citizens.

The Hamburg Marine Insurance, 1736–1859
Based on the analysis of Hamburg’s marine insurance premiums for more than 120 years, this book shows that the premiums’ long-term decline has been a consequence of both the restoration of security on the high seas after 1815 and the elimination of piracy around 1830.
