MARKET PLACE. BREMEN. — In the Middle Ages, Bremen was one of the greatest maritime cities in Northern Europe, and even to day it is second, only to Hamburg as a port of Germany. The photograph shows the market place of the city with the venerable Town Hall looking on to the many stalls erected by the peasants to sell their produce. The old Town Hall was built in the Gothic style between 1405 and 1410 and early in the seventeenth century a splendid Renaissance facade was added. The exterior is also decorated with mediaeval statues saints, philosophers, and Electors, and the doorways are guarded by armoured knights.
