Cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways – guided tour through Bremen’s old city centre

Bremen’s inhabitants are proud of their history. The Roland Statue built in 1404 and the over 600 year old Town Hall stand for Bremen’s freedom and trading rights. In 2004 they became part of UNESCO World Heritage. During the tour of Bremer Promenaden, you will learn, among other things, whose view of the Market Square was blocked by the Town Hall 600 years ago, what you have to do to return safely to Bremen, which competition evolved between merchants and councillors and why Bremen was considered the “Rome of the North”.

In the Böttcherstraße (Cooper Street) we become acquainted with the Bremen coffee merchant Ludwig Roselius, the artist Bernhard Hoetger and the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker, and through them we build a bridge to Worpswede. In Schnoor, the oldest quarter of the Hanseatic Town, we go through the narrowest alleyway and marvel at Bremen’s smallest house.
