The Template:Lang (Template:IPA-de, Hanseatics) is a collective term for the hierarchy group (so called First Families) consisting of elite individuals and families of prestigious rank who constituted the ruling class of the free imperial city of Hamburg, conjointly with the equal First Families of the free imperial cities Bremen and Lübeck. The members of these First Families were the persons in possession of hereditary grand burghership (Template:Lang) of these cities, including the mayors (Template:Lang), the senators (Template:Lang), joint diplomats (Template:Lang) and the senior pastors (Template:Lang). Template:Lang refers specifically to the ruling families of Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen, but more broadly, this group is also referred to as patricians along with similar social groups elsewhere in continental Europe.
