Photo and description

The Gothic building of the Town Hall on the Market Square was built in 1410. At the beginning of the 17th century, its splendid facade was decorated in the Weser Renaissance style by the master Luder von Bertheim. The facade is decorated with figures of Emperor Charlemagne and seven electors, as well as four wise men and four preachers.

The upper hall of the town hall, intended for official receptions of city guests, is one of the most exquisite in Germany. In this hall, once a year - on the second Friday of February - gala dinners are held for the `` workers '': ship captains, the most important merchants, shipowners and city fathers. To this day, it is considered a great honor to be invited to this dinner. Recently, women began to be invited to this elite club, but only as guests. The lower hall of the town hall is called " golden camera. '' The walls of this hall are upholstered with precious leather wallpaper covered with gold, and the furniture is made of light wood with a golden hue.

Under the town hall there is a wine cellar with a rich collection of German wines. This cellar became famous thanks to Wilhelm Hauff's Fantasies in the Bremen Town Hall Cellar. The oldest German wine dating back to 1653 is kept here.
