Market Square in Bremen
The market square in Bremen is one of the important sights of the ancient city in the north-west of Germany. It is called one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. No one argues with this statement, a special atmosphere reigns here, and interesting photographs are obtained against its background. The market square is surrounded by houses with a rich history, including the Cathedral, the City Hall and other public buildings.
Area description
The ensemble of buildings began to form from the City Hall in the 15th century. It was built in the Gothic style from 1405 to 1407. As in the distant past, the mayor works in this building. It is also a place for meetings where topical social issues are discussed. Along with the ancient buildings, the Parliament of the Federal State of Bremen harmoniously entered this ensemble. It was formed relatively recently - in 1966.
The market square in Bremen is decorated with a statue dedicated to Roland of Bremen, a monument depicting Otto Bismarck and a sculpture in honor of the Bremen Town Musicians. In 2004, the buildings were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. A cross is laid out in the central part to commemorate the soldiers and officers of Bremen who were unable to return home after participating in the wars. They will always live in the memory of local residents.
Cozy atmosphere
The Christmas market opens on the Market Square every year in November. But it is very different in format from other bazaars. This is not surprising before, this place personified the center of trade. Now here you can not only buy pre-Christmas souvenirs, but also taste hot mulled wine, traditional German sausages. All this is done so that people can plunge into the holiday atmosphere. Time flies by here. The people in this place are polite and friendly. But you need to be vigilant, as Bremen rounds out the ten most dangerous cities in Germany. But at the same time, one should not forget that the country is included in the 20 safest countries in the world, so the internal rating can be called very subjective. But still, caution never hurt anyone.
The market square in Bremen is located in the center of the city with a population of 500 thousand people. Guides often arrange excursions for tourists here. You can get here by bus number 24 or 25, trams 2,3,4,6,8. You need to get off at the "Domsheide" stop. The people of Cologne are proud of this landmark.
