Bremen Market place

The Marktplatz (Market square) is the central square in the German city of Bremen. The Market Place, in the centre of the Old Town, is a point in Bremen where locals and tourists meet. As in the old days, the place is almost entirely encircled by buildings, but it still leads into the neighbouring streets and squares

It is dominated by the luxurious façade of the Town Hall. The building was constructed between 1405 and 1410 in Gothic style, but the façade was built two centuries after in Renaissance style. Today, it hosts a restaurant in original decor with huge wine barrels, the Ratskeller in Bremen, and the wine lists holds more than 600 — exclusively German — wines. It is also the home of the twelve oldest wines in the world, kept in their original barrels in the Apostel chamber.

Two statues sit to the west side of the Town Hall: one is the statue of the city's protector, Roland, with his view against the Cathedral and bearing the sword of justice and a shield decorated with an imperial eagle. The other near the entrance to the Ratskeller is Gerhard Marcks's bronze sculpture Die Stadtmusikanten (Town Musicians) which represents the donkey, dog, cat and rooster of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale.

Other interesting buildings in the nearby area of the Marktplatz are the Schütting, a 16th-century Flemish-inspired guild hall, and the Stadtwaage, the former weigh house, with a Renaissance façade. The façades and houses around the market square were the first buildings in Bremen to be restored after World War II, by the citizens of Bremen themselves.
The massive Cathedral St Petri (13th century) stands to the east of the Marktplatz, with sculptures of Moses and David, Peter and Paul, Charlemagne and Christopher Maki
