BÖTTCHERSTRASSE
Its name in German means "the street of coopers" or "barrel makers". The members of this trade had established their quarters there in the Middle Ages. This narrow alley leads to the corner of Schütting (headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and the former Merchant's Guild). It opens with a sculpture by Bernhard Hoetger, Der Lichtbringer (the one who brings light). This old road was renovated in an original style in the late 1920s at the initiative of a major coffee merchant in the city, Ludwig Roselius. It's easy to spot. It is bordered by red brick buildings and Art Deco facades. Between the gables of Roselius' house and the adjacent house, you should not miss the carillon that rings every hour, with its set of 30 Meissen porcelain bells. You will find the tourist office, the Roselius Haus and Paula Becker museums, restaurants, and also the Bremer Bonbons confectionery, which is a work of art in itself. Indeed, you can admire in its window the exhibition of multicoloured candy jars and huge lollipops to make any visitor under 15 jump with enthusiasm. It attracts crowds, the store is always crowded.
