Exploring Bremen

Beginning of February, Laura and Sophie from our Dickinson Community as well as full-year student Alex took our new spring students on a city tour through the center of Bremen.

We started our tour at the Bremen Town Musicians statue – and of course touching the donkey’s legs for good look and making a wish was a must. Afterwards, we explored the historic market square, visited the beautiful Böttchergasse with its unique architecture, strolled through the many cute streets of the Schnoor quarter, Bremen’s oldest district, as well as took a walk along the river Weser at the Schlachte, a former waterfront harbor.

Thank you Laura, Sophie and Alex for showing us a few of your favorite places around the city center!

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!
