Review & FAQ:
Located on Bremen's picturesque Marktplatz in the heart of the Old Town (Altstadt), The Roland Statue commemorates Germany's most famous knight. Erected in 1404, the five-and-a-half-meter-tall figure depicts 9th century Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne, and is one of several similar monuments around the country that stand as symbols of freedom and independence from the church. Defiantly facing the church, the striking stone edifice was designated a World Heritage site in 2004 and is a much-loved feature of Bremen’s streetscape.
