It is nice to see things like this in person, but it is just a statue, so there really isn't much to say about it. The real prize in visiting this area is all the old buildings, this statue is just a bonus! More

While you may have heard the Grimm Brothers' famous tale about the animals that escaped their masters to become musicians in Bremen (they never made it to Bremen in the tale), I think way much more important is where the statue is located. You get enough of the statue in... More
