Bremer Stadtmusikanten
Bremer Stadtmusikanten is a bronze statue beside Bremen’s town hall, where four fairy-tale travellers rise into a compact sculpture. Gerhard Marcks created it in 1953, showing the donkey, dog, cat and rooster from the Brothers Grimm story.
The animals leave their homes and head for Bremen in search of a better life, giving the scene its enduring sense of hope and adventure. Standing about two metres tall, the sculpture also reflects Bremen’s welcoming spirit and cultural identity.
Look closely at the donkey’s front legs: visitors often touch them for good luck, leaving a small, memorable ritual beside the town hall.
