A free-spirited and fiercely independent wind whistles through Bremen’s nooks and crannies. This wind certainly attracted a donkey, a hound, a cat and a cockerel in the Grimm Brother’s tale of ’The Bremen Town Musicians.’ Now the city’s mascots, the four of them headed for Bremen to start a new life as musicians. Their motto is still ringing true today: "We are off to Bremen - you will find something better than death everywhere." As Germany’s second largest port, Bremen’s link to the sea and its get up and go spirit are undeniable.
