Since I live in Bremen I visit the "Stadtmusikanten" quiet often as everyone coming over for a visit wants to see them. And everyone says the same: "Wow, they are SMALL!" And they are. Anyway, they are still famous and have a nice fairy tale. And by the way: Rumours say that the statue has once been turned the other way, to wards the city hall, as the fairy tale says they have been looking INTO the robbers house. But that would have meant that the people in our city hall were all robbers and the statue was turned around.
Touch the donkeys legs, it's supposed to be lucky and make you come back to our beautiful town :)

The Bremen Town Musicians (Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten) is a fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Despite the title of the fairy tale the animals never actually arrive in Bremen. In the story a donkey, a dog, a cat and a roster, all mistreated by their masters, leave them and meet in a desolate place. They decide to go to Bremen, known for its freedom, to live without owners.

Have somebody telling you their story in the dark around the town hall after you had a traditional meal underneath.

One of the most artistically beautiful cities in Germany. Definitely a must.

Nice to see in real ;)
