Market Square in Bremen
The market square in Bremen is one of the most 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 disputes this statement, there is a special atmosphere here, and interesting photos are obtained against its background. The market Square is surrounded by houses with a rich history, including the Cathedral, the City Hall and other socially important objects.
Description of the square
The ensemble of buildings began to form with the City Hall in the XV 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 meeting place where topical social issues are discussed. Along with the ancient buildings, the Parliament of the Federal State of Bremen harmoniously joined this ensemble. It was formed relatively recently - in 1966.
Bremen's market square is decorated with a statue dedicated to Bremen's Roland, a monument depicting Otto Bismarck, and a sculpture in honor of 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 could not return home after participating in the wars. They will always live in the memory of the locals.
Cozy atmosphere
Every year in November, the Christmas Market opens on the Market Square. But it is very different in format from other bazaars. This is not surprising before, this place represented the center of commerce. Now you can not only buy pre-Christmas souvenirs, but also taste hot mulled wine and traditional German sausages. All this is done so that people can plunge into the atmosphere of the holiday. Time flies by here. The people in this place are polite and friendly. But you need to be vigilant, because Bremen is one of the ten most dangerous cities in Germany. But at the same time, we should not forget that the country is one of the 20 safest countries in the world, so the internal rating can be called very subjective. But still, being careful hasn't hurt anyone yet.
The market square in Bremen is located in the center of a city with a population of 500,000 people. Guides often arrange guided tours 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.
