Rival to Hamburg
There is this neat saying:
Hamburg is the gate to the world, but Bremen holds the key
To understand this better, let me give you a little bit of background:
Hamburg is Germany's second largest city (much bigger than Bremen) and has a very important harbor - so it is widely known as the gate to the world. On the other hand - Bremen has a key on her flag, so that is what that saying refers to.....
Here is some "solid" information now:
Free Hanseatic City of Bremen: International seaport and trading centre right near the North Sea. Independent state of the Federal Republic of Germany, consisting of the cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven Two-city state covering an area of 400 square kilometres - smallest of the 16 German states. State's total population: 681,722, thereof 550,392 in Bremen, making it the tenth largest town in Germany, and 131,330 in Bremerhaven. Significance: second most important foreign trade location in the Federal Republic of Germany (see, what I mean???).

Nice page on Bremen's delights. I'd never heard that 'Bremen is the Key' saying before.
I once saw the Bremer Stadtmusikanten statue as a child :))
Hi, Christine. Interesting updated tips on this page. I like the picture of the three musicians from the chocolate bar. Looking forward to seeing you and Heinz on Sunday. -- Don
Looks and sounds like another interesting place, particularly the Schnoor Quarter.
Bremen is such a lovely city! Great page!
Interesting Bremen page Christine! I shall add it to my list of must see places in Germany! :)) (I never knew there were sooooo many Rolands!)
I *think* I've been here .... but perhaps I need to go back :)))) Nice page!
Nice little page on Bremen. Looks like a lot of fun. Going there myself this May.
Thank you for telling me the full story of the Bremen Muscians. I've been to the little statue and was only told, by my then Bremen born girlfriend, it in brief.
