Some more from Bremen...
And just to show you that Bremen is not only about the famous "Bremer
Stadtsmusikanten" I show some more pictures from there!
The building of the main rail station is really impressive. Inside one can see
some beautiful mosaic works depicting the most famous places of
interests in the city.
Next to the city musicians also the pig statues are known as a
must-take-in-to-picture...
There is a lovely wind mill (which works as a
two-floor-brasserie) and is located on an island in the river Weser. A
cute and colourful scarecrow is guarding it:)
Another lovely place for a walk, a drink or a dinner is the old
quarter "Schnoor"-the picture above. Its name comes from the old German word
"Schnur"(=eng. "lace").

Freie Hansestadt Bremen
The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (Freie Hansestadt Bremen) is a very
charming place to see, located on the river Weser in Northern Germany.
The well preserved Altstadt (=old town) displays an impressive
collection of majestic buildings like the Gothic-Renaissance-style
town hall (last picture).
By sunshine the golden shield with an eagle of the
city-protector Roland sparkles. Once you are at the feet of his
statue, which dates back to 1404, one feel really tiny...and
protected:-)
Next to the town hall are also the most famous locals:"Die Bremer
Stadtsmusikanten" (Town Musicians), which portrays the donkey, dog, cat
and rooster of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale. There is almost always
a queue to take pictures and to stroke the mouth of the donkey....
South of the Markplatz and Rathaus, is the 110 m Böttcherstraße. It
was transformed in 1923–1931 by the coffee magnate Ludwig Roselius,
who commissioned local artists to convert the narrow street (in
medieval time, the street of the barrel makers) into an inspired
mixture of Gothic and Art Nouveau. Today, the street is one of
Bremen's most popular attractions. Three times a day, the pedestrians
can enjoy its melodic "Glockenspiel" (carillon) .
