Hanseatic city of Germany and one of the largest maritime trading on the Weser
Bremen look back on 1200 years-long history. But the main pivots are probably 1358 of joining the Hanseatic League and the 1619 construction of the first port facilities. Bremen rises to a thriving commercial center with connections to all over the world. The port is the main export course begins in 1783 even the direct transatlantic trade with the United States. Bremen today is still a world port and trading center in the world known all over the world and is home to Hamburg, Germany's second largest port. Besides these main source of income, the city has much to offer. After the severe destruction caused by World War 2 and the subsequent reconstruction, the city has changed dramatically. But there are still many vestiges of the old time to discover. Bremen combines many different styles of architecture in itself, each shaping the surface of the different districts. Overall, the city consists of five boroughs with 24 districts, spread across 325qkm. As an independent state in the Federal Republic, the two-city state of Bremen is divided into the major cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven, each with 544 746 and 118 276 Einwohnern.1971 the university was founded, which has produced important research facilities today and enjoys a good reputation. The culture is not neglected, because in addition to the Shakespeare Company and the German Museum of Contemporary Art is just as the seat of the German Chamber Philharmonic, which attracts many visitors each year. Even if the people of Bremen exuberance, lightness and joy of life is denied, so they know to celebrate. Here you go then "up'n Swutsch", especially when again, has come the time of the free market, a traditional folk festival. You have to experience the Bremer, then can disprove the negative image of a Lousy Peters. Here in the north, people are how nature and the environment, at first glance, just a bit rougher.

» Typical Bremen
For ... "Bremn", as is the habit of the last syllable of a word to swallow some. At this point four characteristics will be presented.
Held annually in October here on the Bürgerheide the "free market" instead., This traditional festival brings the people of Bremen two by celebrated weeks and is, as with other Carnival, as the fifth season. Course then must also include the mandatory Beck's from the city-owned brewery not . missing someone misbehaves, he gets maybe the saying. "That is not proper" to hear Freiherr von Knigge, the advocate of good behavior, has lived in Bremen and still is his thought.
Another memory is the poisoner gift Gottfried. A spitting stone marks the place of their execution and many a Bremen today expressed his displeasure with a unique gesture.
