Bremen – Roland Statue

[I originally posted this in April 2018 but have just reposted it to fix the broken image link]

Roland statues date back to the medieval ages and can be found throughout Germany, with them originally being a sign of the town’s trading rights. This is a particularly interesting sculpture as it dates to 1404, replacing an earlier wooden version. It is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list and also appeared on a German coin in 2010.
