[email protected] 4 5 DEDICATION, ANN CHRISTENSSON In loving memory of our Ann who thought of Bryggen as a bunch of delicate blossoms and knew that its continued well-being depends on getting the right mix of soil and water. This project and this publication owe a great deal to her labours and love, and we are very glad and grateful that she got to hear that the initial results were encouraging. We promise to keep tending those flowers for you, Ann. 6 7 THE HISTORY OF BRYGGEN MANAGEMENT HISTORY ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASPECTS CONTENTS 01 UNTIL C. 1900 03 05 13 Bryggen as part of the present-day townscape 40 Bryggen: World Heritage site 62 Assessment of state of preservation of 14 Bryggen as part of the oldest town nucleus 41 Management organic contexts 14 Property patterns and ownership 43 Organization 64 Practical applications 15 The Bryggen tenements 44 Acquiring knowledge 68 Review of state of preservation situation 17 Bryggen and the Hanseatic Kontor
