City musician statue

Bremen as the end of the German Grimm Fairy Tale Avenue, the "Musicians of Bremen" statue has become one of the local tourist attractions. The City Musician statue is located in the west of Bremen City Hall, they are the world-famous fairy tale image created by the Grimm brothers, and it is also the pride of Bremen. The corresponding animals are donkey, dog, cat and chicken.

It is said that touching the donkey's hooves with your hand can bring good luck, so many people will touch it here, and the donkey's hooves are therefore the brightest part of this statue. But pay attention to the correct posture when touching the front foot of the donkey, if you only hold one foot of the donkey with one hand, it will be laughed by the locals as "a donkey shaking hands with another donkey".

Bremen City Hall and the Loran Statue were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2004 and are among the oldest monuments in Germany.
Town Hall: Built in the Gothic style in 1405 and rebuilt in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, it survived World War II bombing and is the only town hall in late medieval Europe that was not destroyed. In addition, its sand and stone sculptures and Dutch Renaissance architectural elements also give the building a high artistic value.

Roland Statue: Built in 1404, 5.47 meters high, the statue overhead canopy 10.21 meters high. It is based on the hero knight Roland in the Song of Roland. Roland was Charlemagne's military leader, and the sculpture was intended to proclaim the market rights and freedoms of the city of Bremen. Following the gaze of Roland's statue, it is the cathedral of Bremen.

It is worth mentioning that the triad of the town hall, the Statue of Roland and the Cathedral symbolizes the relationship between the king and the bishop of Bremen, as well as the role played by the town council and ordinary citizens in political life at that time. This is also an important reason for their inclusion in the World Cultural Heritage: as a strong evidence of the development of civil autonomy and sovereignty in the Holy Roman Empire, as a symbol of civil autonomy and the right to free trade, reflecting the values of civil autonomy and free markets.

St. Peter's Basilica, Bremen

It's basically always open, with a minaret on the outside and a round dome on the inside. There are three halls, there are many old buildings, and the glass inside is particularly beautiful. It would have been more beautiful with the sun, and the angels were fine when we went but there was no sun, and there were two basements next to it. You don't need a ticket. If you light a candle, you put a dollar in it

The cathedral is located between the town hall and the state Parliament, and the three make up the historic complex on Bremen's Market Square. One of the two towers is open to visitors - and, visible from a distance, dominates the city skyline.

Although history has turned over pages in the city, the glory of the past is not dispersed in the church. The magnificent dome, the solemn lobby, and the colorful wall decoration make it seem as if time has never passed here and people just return home after church.

The oldest part of the church is the underground chapel, where the main attraction is the Bleikeller cellar, which contains mysterious coffins that can be visited.
