Welcome to Bremen

Bremen – a wonderful place to live. A modern city with a great maritime past.

Its roots are what have made the city the international and cosmopolitan centre that it is today. Traditions of liberalism and tolerance developed over centuries define the way the people engage with one another. Bremen combines the Hanseatic cosmopolitan outlook and the compact nature of a city-state with a young, forward-looking frame of mind to create an unmistakable charm that has drawn people to Bremen throughout the centuries.

Bremen is a Hanseatic city in northwestern Germany. A port city along the river Weser.

Bremen is well worth a visit!


Politics

The Stadtbürgerschaft (municipal assembly) is made up of 68 of the 83 legislators of the state legislature, the Bremische Bürgerschaft, who reside in the city of Bremen. The legislature is elected by the citizens of Bremen every four years.




Main sights

  • Many of the sights in Bremen are found in the Altstadt (Old Town). The oldest part of the Altstadt is the southeast half, starting with the Marktplatz and ending at the Schnoor quarter.


  • The Market square is dominated by the opulent façade of the Town Hall. Today, it hosts a restaurant in original decor with gigantic wine barrels, the Ratskeller, and the wine lists boasts more than 600 — exclusively German — wines. It is also home of the twelve oldest wines in the world, stored in their original barrels in the Apostel chamber.
