Market Square and Roland

Edit This
Bremen's cosy "Reception Room" is a relatively small place dominated by the Rathaus. For centuries, the Market Square has been at the heart of the Hanseatic City, rating with the most elegant in Germany. The square is placed around the Hanseatic Cross, commemorating those Hanseatic members that took part in the War of Liberation.

When turning round while standing in its centre, the stone statue of Knight Roland, Bremen's most famous, is the first sight of landmark that catches your eye. The Roland was erected in 1404 as a symbol of civic rights and independence from its archbishop. He now stares at the modern Parliament building, one of the ugliest edifices to disgrace a German town.
