League of Towns and Economic Power
Since the 11th century the population in Europe was growing. The reason for it was, among other things, an increase in agricultural production due to a good climate. A period of town foundations began which lasted over 300 years. The trading settlement of Lübeck was founded in the Baltic Sea region as a rival to Schleswig. Due to its favourable location the new town rapidly attracted more and more merchants. The revenue from trade clearly exceeded the taxes from the peasants and therefore the rulers encouraged trade. The growing population in Europe could not or did not want to provide themselves with locally available products. As a result, long-distance trade became an increasingly profitable business. Especially the upper sectors of the population were supplied with luxury goods.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
