The Hanseaten were regarded as being of equal rank to the (landed) nobility elsewhere in Europe, although the Hanseaten often regarded the (rural) nobility outside the city republics as inferior to the (urban and often more affluent, and in their own view, cultivated) Hanseaten. Thomas Mann, a member of a Lübeck Hanseatic family, portrayed this class in his Nobel Prize-winning novel ""Buddenbrooks"" (1901), for which he received the 1929 Nobel Prize for Literature. The relationship between the Hanseatic and noble families varied depending on the city. The most republican city"

Similar themes appear in the ""Buddenbrooks"", but in a fully developed style that already reflects the mastery of narrative, subtle irony of tone, and rich character descriptions of Mann's mature fiction. The exploration of decadence in the novel reflects the influence of Schopenhauer's ""The World as Will and Representation"" (1818, 1844) on the young Mann.
