Indestructable structures and their uses.

Alright, let's Start.

Free Imperial City of Lübeck

In 1226 Emperor Frederick II declared the city of Lübeck to be a Free Imperial City. Lübeck law was the constitution of the city's municipal form of government developed after being made a free city. In theory, Lübeck law made the cities which had adopted it independent of royalty. In the 14th century Lübeck became the "Queen of the Hanseatic League", being by far the largest and most powerful member of this medieval trade organization. Though Lübeck's power slowly declined after involving in the Count's Feud in 1530s and the the Hanseatic League lost importance because the new transatlantic orientation of European trade, Lübeck still remained an important trading town on the Baltic Sea after the de facto disbandment of the Hanseatic League in 1669.

Free Imperial City of Nuremberg

After Nuremberg gained piecemeal independence from the Burgraviate of Nuremberg in the High Middle Ages and considerable territory from Bavaria in the Landshut War of Succession, it grew to become one of the largest and most important Imperial cities, the 'unofficial capital' of the Empire, particularly because Imperial Diets and courts met at Nuremberg Castle. The Diets of Nuremberg were an important part of the administrative structure of the Empire. The Golden Bull of 1356, issued by Emperor Charles IV, named Nuremberg as the city where newly elected kings of Germany must hold their first Imperial Diet, making Nuremberg one of the three highest cities of the Empire. With the cultural flowering in the 15th and 16th centuries, Nuremberg also became the center of the German Renaissance.

P.S.
@Ceg
you have said that the Franconia province has been divided into Franconia and Sachsen, but I also remember you had mention the Rhenish province in a post many years ago. Is Rhenish province still exist? If it is the list need some adjustment.

What's the purpose of all those cities or any other similar structures? Will they have any impact on the game or they will just.. increase historical feeling of the mod?

[cegorach]

Many.

Decreasing loyalty, some can be given ability to recruit units, but overall it is to replace the trade centers with something which looks and feels better.

Will take a while to use them in the game. I'd like to have a couple in 1.6 to test how it works and feels, besides I am quite fond of Danzig in this period.

I am not sure yet. Right now there are so many discoveries that it might or might not be added + the shape and names of the provinces in Germany have to be changed a bit.

For now continue to create the list. Coats of arms are great for info_pics which will have to be created eventually.

If Rhenish Province is exist, that the city list of Franconia will change to :

Franconia Province:
Free Imperial city of Frankfurt

Rhenish Province:
Free Imperial city of Aachen
Free Imperial city of Cologne
(another idea is, do not put any Free Imperial city in Rhenish, instead, put:
Electorate of Mainz
Electorate of Trier
Electorate of Cologne
)

Free Imperial City of Frankfurt

Frankfurt was a major city of the Holy Roman Empire, being the seat of imperial elections since 885 and the city for imperial coronations from 1562 (previously in Free Imperial City of Aachen) until 1792. Frankfurt was declared an Imperial Free City (Reichsstadt) in 1372, making the city an entity of Imperial immediacy, meaning immediately subordinate to the Holy Roman Emperor and not to a regional ruler or a local nobleman.
