The Town Hall and Roland on the Marketplace of Bremen represent the civic autonomy and market freedom during the Holy Roman Empire. Bremen's Weser-Renaissance-style town hall with its magnificent facade is one of the finest civic buildings in Germany. It is the only European town hall built in the late Middle Ages that has not been destroyed or altered, managing to survive in its original form over the centuries. The figure of Roland is a global symbol of freedom and trading rights. Bremen's Roland statue is over 600 years old and it is widely regarded as one of the oldest and most impressive examples.
