In 1295 there were only two other towns within 30 km of Schüttorf: Horstmar and Oldenzaal, making the new town into an important market and shipping place, and Schüttorf became a member of the Hanse.
1295. aastal oli Schüttorfist 30 km raadiuses vaid kaks teist linna: Horstmar ja Oldenzaal, mis tegi uuest linnast olulise turu- ja laevanduspaiga ning Schüttorfist sai Hansa Liidu liige.
