It was great to finally see the statue I had heard about since childhood when the Bremen Town Musicians fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm was read to me. One of the local tour guides said that the city of Bremen is eternally grateful to the Grimm Brothers for "putting Bremen on the map!"

Very cute performance - in German, though with a German, English, and French introduction. Their awkwardness was part of their charm. Took about 35 minutes.

Must see in Bremen. It has a fun story to go along with it and apparently you are to touch it for good luck. There is always a group of people waiting around it to take pictures which is part of the fun.

I have always wanted to visit this statue since I first saw its poster in my German class. Seeing it was a dream coming true for me. I visited it during daytime and night time which are both very nice -- in the evening, the statue looks magical with streetlight, and its shadow on the ground makes it look romantic... More

Who does not know the lovely story of the Bremen Town Musicians? I guess, almost everyone. Here you can touch them and think of a wish for your future. It may be fulfilled.

It only takes a few minutes to see the bronze statue of the Bremen Town Musicians located at the corner of the Town Hall. When we visited in January (and there was snow) we noticed that some kind person had knitted the donkey a set of socks to keep his feet warm .. neat! You'll see which animals have had... More

This is a free attraction directly next to the Rathaus / city hall. The story is based on a Grimm'sfairytale and this bronze statue is said to bring luck / grant a wish to those who rub the donkeys hooves.

I remember reading the story of the Bremen Town Musicians when I was a young child. I was excited to see the statue that commemorated such an amazing story. The statue was smaller than I had anticipated, but located next to the rathaus, it was easy to find. Be sure to touch the statue and make a wish. Dreams do... More
