During our Orientationweek, our students also had the change to participate in an exclusive tour through the Haus der Bürgerschaft, organized by the International Office of the University of Bremen.

On 9th September 1966, the Haus der Bürgerschaft was inaugurated as the seat of the Bremen Parliament (Bremische Bürgerschaft). The state parliament of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen still meets here today and passes or amends laws for Bremen and Bremerhaven. (Source)

During the tour, our students learned more about the architecture and history of the building, as well as about Bremen’s state parliament.

If you want to find out more about Bremen’s State Parliament, find more information about it here in English or in German.

We would like to thank the International Office for organizing this tour!
