Bremen is a former Hanseatic free city on the Weser, its UNESCO-listed market square anchored by the Roland statue, Town Hall and the Brothers Grimm's Town Musicians statue. The Baroque Boettcherstrasse and medieval Schnoor quarter add narrow lanes of craft shops, and the port keeps Bremen an industrial city too.
