The market square is the heart of the Hanseatic city of Bremen. On it is located the building of the Town Hall, the Cathedral of St. Petra, the statue of Roland, the monument to the Bremen musicians, the building of the city parliament, the house of Schutting and many other attractions.

It is considered one of the most beautiful squares not only in Germany, but also in Europe. It occupies 3484 square meters. A large cross is mounted in the bridge square in honor of the Hanseatic participants in the liberation wars.

The square was founded at the beginning of the XV century, when the Town Hall was built. Its hallmark is the Town Hall, built in the XV century and the Cathedral of St. George. Petra, built in the XI century. These are the oldest buildings in the square. There are also many old houses here. During the reconstructions, various archaeological objects dating from the VI-XVIII centuries were found on the square (the bones of people and animals, fragments of pottery, coins and others).

Now the square is not empty: it is admired not only by locals, but also by tourists from all over the world.
