District of Bremen Travel Blogs

Background: As Europe's largest economy and most populous nation, Germany remains a key member of the continent's economic, political, and defense organizations. European power struggles immersed Germany in two devastating World Wars in the first half of the 20th century and left the country occupied by the victorious Allied powers of the US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union in 1945. With the advent of the Cold War, two German states were formed in 1949: the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR). The democratic FRG embedded itself in key Western economic and security organizations, the EC, which became the EU, and NATO, while the Communist GDR was on the front line of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. The decline of the USSR and the end of the Cold War allowed for German unification in 1990. Since then, Germany has expended considerable funds to bring Eastern productivity and wages up to Western standards. In January 1999, Germany and 10 other EU countries introduced a common European exchange currency, the euro.

Bremen Street Shopping...
Bremen Street Shopping...
this is one of the main shopping strips in the Markt Platz of Bremen. The majority of shopping in Bremen is strip shopping with cobble paved streets for pedestrains only.
We have been living in Bremen for just over 4 months now, and its a town we really love. Its a nice size, with a small old town feel. So we decided that since we are not really tourists around here anymore we would take photos of everyday life around Bremen instead of just the landmarks and beautiful old buildings. So I will continue to update this blog as we take more photos... The first set of photos are taken in the city centre or Markt Platz on a Saturday around midday. They are of the shopping strip and the fruit [View Full Entry]

The Rubber Donuts... all in position.
This was the line of donuts the competitors had to run across for the first competion.
Each year in Bremen; Germany, Hakke Beck run a regatta on the Wesser River. The competion has been running for seven or so years now and it is a very popular event for the whole town as well as tourists. Each year approx. 1000 people enter the compition to be able to race, and only 100 teams are selected. You are only allowed to race once in your life, making it even more of a challenge to be chosen. Each team is two people, either 2 guys, 2 girls or a mixed team and prizes are allocated to all categories. The [View Full Entry]

In Bremen there is a park that is fully run by the citizens of the town. The council or government don't have any hand in the park. It is a beautiful large park with open fields, bushland and small rivers. There is an extensive track system that covers the park and on a nice day its a lovely place to go for a walk. In the centre of the park there is a small working farm, where we believe the head of the park committee or groundkeeper lives. They have donkeys, chickens, pigs, cows, lamas, guinea pigs, birds of all sorts [View Full Entry]

Spring time in Bremen is just gorgeous. Not only do we have beautiful trees blossoming and gardens in full bloom, we have the windmill in town with its brightly coloured array of tulips. These are just some of the photos I took on a beautiful spring day while walking through town. The first photo - which is a personal favourite of mine - is a close up of the tulips with the windmill in the background. [View Full Entry]
