Bremen is characterized by 1,200 years of cosmopolitanism

bremen bremenThe old trading town with its historic centre around the market square exudes the flair of a young city. Look forward to Bremen's sights. There is a lot to discover!

In no other city in Germany with more than 500,000 inhabitants do more people cycle than in Bremen. The people of Bremen love their bikes! Cycling is not just everyday life in this country, but part of the special way of life. So take your bike and ride through and experience the city!

The magnificent town hall in the Weser Renaissance style and the venerable figure of Roland on the historic market square remain unmistakable. They have embodied the citizens' desire for independence since 1404. The town hall and Roland are protected by UNESCO as a unique world heritage site, but the Schnoor - Bremen's oldest district -, the unusual architecture of the traditional Böttcherstrasse and the Bremen Cathedral are also unparalleled.

Bremen and Bremerhaven together form the second largest seaport in Germany. The focus in the Bremen ports is particularly on car transshipment. The entire length of the Weser river, which characterizes the landscape, is a federal waterway and is predominantly heavily fortified on its banks within the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. The tides in the North Sea influence the water level in the Weser, partly also the local weather conditions, and shape the fauna and flora in the state of Bremen. In the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen there are several ferry connections across the Weser.

Natural areas can be found primarily along the Wümme, Lesum, Ochtum and Geeste rivers with protected marsh meadows and oxbow lakes. The marsh and geest areas are used for agriculture and serve as local recreation areas for the city population.

If you like the wind, you'll certainly go out into the fresh air when it's really blowing, at least that's our attitude and that's how we marched out to the Weser during our visit to Bremen.

Actually, the visit to Bremen should lead to a birthday celebration party within the normal range of cake and coffee, but it turned out quite differently.
