Panorama Hanze is an audiovisual experience that spectacularly recounts the past of the Hanseatic League, linking past, present and future. The visitor virtually boards a kogge and is accompanied by Hanseatic sailors of yesteryear who accompany him on a journey through scenes from the rich Hanseatic past. The story is told from Zwolle itself, sucking the visitor into history. All this via a special routing through Academiehuis Grote Kerk followed by a unique climb to the roof of the building. There, past and present coincide. Visitors are then challenged to help think about bringing back the lost tower by taking part in a design competition: the future of city and monument.
In 2023/2024, Zwolle wants to draw attention to this Hanseatic League once again. At three locations in Zwolle, the Hanseatic League was depicted, linking the significance of this alliance with a promise for the future; cooperation and connection as the heart of lasting value and success.
