The Bremen Town Musicians Statue

The Bremen Town Musicians is a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers that has brought fame to the city of Bremen. The story is about a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster in search of a better life in the city of Bremen, where they plan to become musicians. Today, a two-metre tall bronze statue stands on the left, western side of the town hall to pay homage to this popular German tale. It depicts all of the characters on top of one another, with the donkey as the base. If you decide to visit it, make sure if you grab both of the donkey's front legs for good luck.
