One of the most renowned landmarks in the Hanseatic city is the statue of the Town Musicians of Bremen. In 1819, the Brothers Grimm immortalized four animals on their journey to the city, where they became known as the Town Musicians of Bremen. Although they never made it to Bremen, they encountered a group of robbers on their way and scared them away from a house, which they then occupied. Since 1953, Gerhard Marcks' bronze statue has reminded passersby of this beloved tale. It teaches us that with courage and strong unity, even the seemingly impossible can be achieved, as demonstrated by these animal friends.The act of holding both legs and making a wish before touching the nose of the statue of the Town Musicians of Bremen is a tradition associated with the statue located in Bremen, Germany. It's believed that doing so brings good luck or grants a wish, similar to other traditions involving statues or monuments around the world. It's a charming ritual that adds to the allure and charm of the statue for visitors and locals alike. Source: https://www.welterbe.bremen.de/discover/town-musicians-of-bremen-21310

It's inside another place nearby the famous statue The "Town Musicians of Bremen" (German: Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten) is a popular fairy tale retrieved and recorded by the Brothers Grimm. It was first published in Grimms' Fairy Tales in 1819. It tells the story of four aging domestic animals, who after a lifetime of hard work are neglected and mistreated by their former masters. Eventually, they decide to run away and become town musicians in the city of Bremen. Contrary to the story's title the characters never arrive in Bremen, as they succeed in tricking and scaring off a band of robbers, capturing their spoils, and moving into their house. According to the Aarne–Thompson classification system, the story qualifies as a Type 130folktale ("Outcast animals find a new home")

It's a must-do photo op if you are visiting the old-city area of Bremen. Since I was a child, I had heard the story of the musicians of Bremen. It would be a shame not to visit the statue while in the city. On the Western side of the Town Hall, you will find The Bremen Town Musicians, a bronze statue of a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster, one on top of each other. Behind this symbol of Bremen, there is a lovely, popular fairy-tale by the Grimm Brothers, according to which, these four animals befriended on their way to Bremen, where they found a better life. There is also a legend related to this statue, saying that if you rub the front legs of the donkey, you may get some of the good luck.

Küçücük bir heykel aslında. Kaidesiyle birlikte iki metre hepi topu ve aslına bakılacak olursa enteresan ya da sanatsal bir tarafı da yok. Çok eski de değil bu arada, 1953'te yerine konulmuş. Hani desen masalda hırsızları korkutmuşlar ya bunlar, işte onu anmak için dev gibi bir heykel yapmışlar! Tam aksine, hayvanların boyutları bile normalden küçük.🙃 Fakat sembolize ettiği şeyler, insanların zihninde oluşturduğu anlam o kadar değerli ve önemli ki, heykelin işgal ettiği alanla kıyaslamak absürt olur. Efendim 😉(birazdan gireceğiz konuya, eskiden böyle derlerdi) bu hikayenin başlangıcı 1800'lerin başlarına kadar uzanıyor. Frankfurt'un biraz doğusunda Hanau diye bir yer var. Orada bir köyde doğmuş iki kardeş Jacob ve Wilhelm. Bunlar bizim kültürümüzde 'Meddah' olarak geçen bir sanat icra ediyorlar. O zamanların şartlarında köy köy dolaşarak masallar anlatıyorlar. Tabii ki bunu yapabilmek için yerel lehçeleri iyi bilmek, taklit yeteneği, sahneye çıkma vs. gibi şeyler lazım ve bunlar o devirde ender bulunan şeyler. Bir yerden sonra derledikleri ve anlattıkları bu geleneksel sözlü kültür ürünlerini kitap olarak bir araya getiriyorlar. Abartmak istemem ama neredeyse bildiğimiz bütün masalların kaynağı bu kitap. Pamuk Prenses, Uyuyan Güzel, Kurbağa Prens, Kırmızı Başlıklı Kız, Rapunzel, Hansel ve Gretel, Fareli Köyün Kavalcısı, Parmak Çocuk ... ve tabii ki Bremen Mızıkacıları! Hepsi işte Grimm kardeşlerin kitabından çıkmış. Bu masal ise biraz diğerlerinden farklı. Zulüm gören eşek, daha iyi bir hayat için yola çıkıyor. Sonra yolda başka başka cinsten hayvanlarla arkadaş oluyor. Daha sonra hep birlikte güzel bir dünya kuruyorlar kendilerine. Vesaire vesaire. Sembollerden çıkarılacak anlamlardan kitap yazılır. Fakat ben burada bitireyim. Ziyaret edilsin mutlaka. Fakat şöyle bir bakıp ya da önünde bir fotoğraf çekilip geçilmesin ama! Biraz düşünülsün üzerine. Ve gökten üç elma düşmüş... 🙃

"Town Musicians of Bremen" atau "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten" dalam bahasa Jerman adalah sebuah cerita rakyat yang populer yang berasal dari kota Bremen, Jerman. Cerita ini telah diadaptasi dalam berbagai bentuk, termasuk dongeng terkenal oleh Saudara Grimm. Cerita ini berkisah tentang empat hewan yang sudah tua dan diperlakukan dengan buruk: seekor keledai, seekor anjing, seekor kucing, dan seekor ayam jantan. Mereka semua tinggal di peternakan di mana mereka tidak lagi berguna bagi pemilik mereka dan menghadapi bahaya dibuang atau bahkan dibunuh. Suatu hari, mereka memutuskan untuk melarikan diri ke Bremen, sebuah kota yang dikenal dengan kebebasan dan toleransinya. Rencana mereka adalah menjadi musisi di kota tersebut, meskipun mereka tidak memiliki bakat musik. Selama perjalanan mereka ke Bremen, mereka menemukan sebuah pondok di hutan di mana sekelompok perampok merayakan hasil rampasan mereka. Hewan-hewan itu, mencari perlindungan dan makanan, merancang rencana cerdik untuk mengusir perampok. Keledai itu meringis keras, anjing itu menggonggong, kucing itu mengiau, dan ayam jantan itu berkokok bersama-sama. Kombinasi suara itu menakut-nakuti perampok, yang mempercayai bahwa itu adalah suara monster yang ganas yang mendekat. Mereka melarikan diri dari pondok dalam ketakutan, meninggalkan harta yang mereka curi. Hewan-hewan itu, sekarang puas dan aman, memutuskan untuk tidak pergi ke Bremen dan malah memilih tinggal di pondok, di mana mereka dapat menikmati kebebasan yang mereka temukan dan harta yang ditinggalkan oleh perampok. Kisah "Town Musicians of Bremen" mengandung tema kerja sama, kecerdikan, dan gagasan bahwa bahkan mereka yang dianggap tua atau tidak berguna masih dapat menemukan tujuan dan petualangan dalam hidup. Ini adalah cerita yang dicintai dalam folklor Jerman dan telah diadaptasi ke berbagai bentuk sastra, teater, dan media selama bertahun-tahun.

Famous statue of the famous fairy tail by the Brothers Grimm. It's a symbol of the city, and can be found on almost every souvenir. Near the statue there were a queue of people who wanted to take a photo with it. Statue is interesting but it gets too much attention although there are others interesting places in the city. Also, there is an interesting attaction related to the Town Musicians of Bremen on the Market square - Bremen Hole. It's a special manhole with a hole, after putting there a coin you can hear the voice of one of the Bremen Musicians.
