Bremen Market Square

Bremen looks back on 1,200 years of history and tradition. The market square is the center of the Hanseatic city with its historic buildings and the House of Citizens. On the west side, from left to right, is the savings bank with the facade from 1755, next to it the council pharmacy and the "Akzise" from 1595 (replaced by a New building 1830) and the "German House" from more recent times.

Not only the beautiful architectural highlights are worth seeing, the Christmas market is also worth a visit!

In the past, as in the present, the market square is the political power center of Bremen and today it is also a magnet for thousands of tourists, which is undoubtedly also due to the special architectural ambience. Almost inconspicuous and unadorned, the Bremen Parliament looks almost inconspicuous in the vicinity of the magnificent Old Town Hall. The draft for the House of the Bremen Parliament was not without controversy, the winner of the tender for the new building in 1961, the internationally renowned architect Wassili Luckhardt, had to change his plans for the building several times before it could finally be opened in 1966.
