metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The example of the Marienburg route between Marienburg castle and Pskov enables to consider
  the process of reformatting the system of Hanseatic-Russian and Livonian-Russian trade
  communication lines in the early modern period, initiated by the leadership of the Teutonic
  Order in Livonia. The Livonian cities were motivated to preserve traditional traffic relations
  and to block unauthorized (“unusual”) routes, while the Livonian territorial lords, led by
  grandmaster Wolter von Plettenberg, attempted to expand their authority by including the
  “merchant affairs” into “land affairs”. Thanks to the Livonian-Russian agreements of the late
  15th century, the Marienburg route lost its “unusual” nature and to some extent changed the
  Hanseatic logistics in the southeast of Livonia directing the trade not towards Dorpat but deep
  into the Order’s posessions and Riga. After unsuccessful attempts to move the Hanseatic office
  from Novgorod to Narva, Plettenberg opened the Marienburg route for Russian trade in early
  1522, which bypassed the “staples” of Dorpat and Reval. The route connected the possessions
  of the Order with Pskov and Riga, and significantly increased its export opportunities. Dorpat
  and Revel tried to force the grandmaster to close the new route but failed due to the disengagement
  of the “foreign” Hansa, to Riga’s strikebreaking and to a new status of Plettenberg.
  He became Prince of the Holy Roman Empire in 1530, which allowed him to declare the roads
  of Livonia imperial and to claim his texceptional rights to them. This resulted in the final legalization
  of the Marienburg route.
