Since I was a child, I had heard the story of the musicians of Bremen. It’s a must-do photo if you are visiting the old-city area of Bremen.
It would be a shame not to visit the statue while in the city. On the Western side of the Town Hall, you will find The Bremen Town Musicians, a bronze statue of a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster, one on top of each other. Behind this symbol of Bremen, there is a lovely, popular fairy-tale by the Grimm Brothers, according to which, these four animals befriended on their way to Bremen, where they found a better life.
There is also a legend related to this statue, saying that if you rub the front legs of the donkey, you may get some of the good luck.
