Bremen is a real Schnoor, because this is where decaf coffee was invented. Not to mention there is a neighborhood of that name in its medieval center with a fascinating Glockenspiel that has a Carillion of 30 bells and ten illustrated, rotating panels that operate in the afternoon hours. All built by Ludwig “The Decafinator” Roselius in the 1920s. And at the foot of this marvel lies this gullideckel with a traditional Passavant surround enclosing Bremen’s iconic key. The key represents the patron saint of Bremen Cathedral, Simon Petrus and is found on the coat of arms since 1366 when the city unlocked itself from the grasp of Prince-Archbishop Albert II. Another beverage of Germany’s 11th most populous city is Beck’s beer; a remnant of which ended up on this version. You can tour the facility, sample the libations and then meander to the aforementioned house across the Weser for a watered-down pick me up.
