explanation: Conquered by Charlemagne in 8th century, Bremen had developed as a center of Northern Europe's christianisation for next centuries. After fallen into the hands of Henri the Lion in 12th century, Bremen became a prosperous free merchant town, well described by Grimm brothers' tale, Musicians of Bremen. Located along Weser river in Northern Germany, Bremen forms a state-region with Bremen Haven and its population 550,000. The city hall and statue of Rolland, city's protector, belong to UNESCO's world heritage
