A tour of the Rathaus (town hall) of Bremen was quite interesting. Bremen is one of the few remaining city-states in Germany (along with Hamburg and Berlin), so this serves at the seat for the president of the senate as well as the mayor, who happen to be the same person. The Rathaus was built in 1405-1409, and thanks to citizens who boarded it up in the 1940's, it survived bombing during the Second World War that destroyed more than half of the city.
