The bronze sculpture “Shepherd with Pigs” is one of Bremen’s most popular works of art. The herd with its shepherd and the sheepdog by the sculptor Peter Lehmann, erected in 1974, is located on the corner of Beinehauerstrasse and Schüsselkorb and is the landmark of Sögestrasse. bremen.de/tourismus/soeschweine

The monument, consisting of the swineherd, his dog and his herd with five pigs and four piglets, was made of bronze in 1974 based on a design by the Bremen sculptor Peter Lehmann (1921-1995).

In the past, swineherds drove the pigs from here through the herd gate in Bremen's city wall to the citizens' pasture.
The bronze pigs with their shepherds are meant to remind us of this.
