HANSEATIC TRADITION AND FOUR BEST FRIENDS FAIRYTALE BREMEN THE HEART AND SOUL OF BREMEN Right in the centre of Bremen is a place brimming with history, culture and charm: the market square. Surrounded by magnificent façades and the Town Hall UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the most beautiful squares in the whole of Europe. The Gothic town hall with its exquisite Renaissance façade is testament to the former might of the Hanseatic League. Just a few steps away is possibly the city’s most famous quartet: the Town Musicians of Bremen. Standing on each other’s backs are the donkey, dog, cat and rooster from the popular fairy tale of courage and solidarity between strangers and friends. TO U R EN 6
BREMEN SIP BY SIP Whether it’s coffee, beer or wine, Bremen certainly knows how to serve a good drink. Inspired by imported coffee, the first coffee house in all of Germany was opened in Bremen, Beck’s beer conquered the whole world and the historic Ratskeller wine cellar is home to the largest collection of German wines in the world. Today, tradition meets trends: not only do roasting houses attract visitors with a peek behind the scenes but craft beer breweries and gin distilleries also host tasting events and workshops. > www.bremen.eu/life-in-bremen/ food-and-drink H O L I D AY AT M O S P H E R E A N Y T I M E O F T H E D AY RIVERSIDE PROMENADE When the sun glistens on the water, Bremen’s Schlachte turns into the liveliest part of the city. The historic harbour quay is lined with beer gardens, cafés and restaurants, all offering magnificent views of the Weser. In the evenings, the Schlachte comes alive with nightlife including live music, fairy lights and a holiday feeling. It truly reveals its fairy-tale side in Advent, when Schlachte-Zauber transforms the pro- menade into a romantic Christmas market. A ROUND-THE-WORLD TRIP Anyone in Bremen wanting to take a trip around the world need go no further than the Übersee-Museum. Ethnology, natural history and the history of trade come together to create a unique experience spanning more than 10,000 m2. From an Asian rainforest to the African savannah and American bison – you can find cultures and creatures from every continent here. Workshops, tours and children’s programmes bring the museum to life for explorers of all ages. > www.uebersee-museum.de/en TO U R EN 7

HANSEATIC LÜBECK MIDDLE AGES, MARZIPAN AND MAGNIFICENT ARCHITECTURE WORLD HERITAGE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS The “Queen City of the Hanseatic League” enchants visitors with its Old Town, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. The seven church towers, winding alleys and splendid gabled buildings are an enduring testament to medieval urban architecture. The clear separation between the merchants’ and craftsmen’s neighbourhoods, still evident today, is particularly impressive. Of the around 180 alleys and courtyards that once housed Lübeck’s working population, approximately half are still preserved in the Old Town today. Many are also open to the public and lined with lovingly restored “Ganghäuschen” (alley houses). This medieval labyrinth is teeming with hidden treasures. TO U R EN 32
LÜBECK AWARD-WINNING EXPERIENCE The European Hansemuseum tells the history of the Hanseatic League in a completely new way, bringing the merchants’ world to life with original historical exhibits as well as modern multimedia installations. Explorers of all ages can embark here on a thrilling voyage through history: experience the r ise and fall of the Hanseatic League, a powerful medieval trading alliance, and set off on an emotional journey of discovery with cutting- edge interactive technology. > www.hansemuseum.eu/en L Ü B E C K ’ S L I G H T G O L D I S N ’ T O N LY P O P U L A R D U R I N G T H E FA M O U S C H R I S T M A S M A R K E T S E A S O N ! LÜBECK’S SWEET SECRET Right in the heart of Lübeck’s Old Town is a place uniting history and indulgence: the Marzipan Museum. Everything on the second f loor of the traditional Café Niederegger revolves around the almond speciality for which Lübeck is now famous the world over. The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through time from the oriental origins of marzipan to its arrival in the Hanseatic town and the founding of the Niederegger company in 1806. The twelve life-sized statues of famous personalities, all of them fans of marzipan, are a particular highlight. And possibly the most delicious part is – there is no entrance fee. In winter, guests can also enjoy a hot chocolate with marzipan in the café on the ground floor. > www.niederegger.de/cafe-niederegger/marzipanmuseum THE GATE TO HISTORY With its imposing double towers and striking brick façade, the Holsten Gate is possibly the most famous landmark in Lübeck and also one of the most popular photo opportunities in Northern Europe. Formerly part of the medieval town fortifications, it protected the wealthy Hanseatic town from attacks while simultaneously standing as a symbol of its power and prosperity. The gilded inscription above the archway “Concordia domi foris pax” says it all: harmony inside, peace outside. Today, the Brick Gothic building is home to a museum exploring the world of the Hanseatic League. TO U R EN 33

WHAT STARTS WELL... I n addition to fruit and vegetables, we also procure the bread and baked goods for the ATLANTIC Hotels breakfast predominantly from regional suppliers. There is also a range of high-quality jams and marmalades awaiting you: those we do not produce ourselves are sourced from traditional family business like Darbo. The pancake makers complementing many of our buffets are a particular hit with our younger (and also our older) guests. Together, the ATLANTIC Hotels are committed to the survival of bee colonies. In collaboration with our partners such as Bee-Rent, we have installed beehives at many of our hotels, allowing us to produce our own honey and even sell it when the quantities are sufficient.

When putting together our menus, we focus on variety by including seasonal ingredients.

In Münster, the hotel even has its own house blend of UNION coffee, which is roasted in Bremen. With our Wine World, we have now put together a premium range of accompanying wines. In the spirit of sustainability, we consciously focused exclusively on European wine-producing regions: sustainably produced and certified organic wines are labelled accordingly on our wine lists.

EXPERIENCE THE HISTORY OF PEACE UP CLOSE The heart of Münster’s Old Town is home to a place where European history was written: the Peace Hall in the Gothic town hall. It was here that the Peace of Münster, a key contribution to the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years’ War and laid the foundations for modern international law, was signed in 1648. The hall impresses with its Renaissance wood panelling and a portrait gallery featuring 37 envoys and rulers. A special detail with a contemporary link is the cast-iron stove plate with the inscription “Pax optima rerum” – peace is the greatest good. HARBOUR PROMENADE The history of Münster’s harbour stretches back more than 100 years. Once a major hub for grain, timber and colonial goods, the area transformed into a “creative quay” starting in the 1990s. The harbour basin is surrounded by bars, theatres, cinemas and restaurants, making it a perfect place to stroll and to relax. The Hafenkäserei, a glass-walled organic cheese dairy situated right by the water, is a particular highlight producing hand-made cheese specialities that visitors are more than welcome to enjoy on-site – for example as a cheese fondue al fresco.
