The Kunsthalle and the Neues Museum Weserburg, with Germany’s largest collection of contemporary art, demonstrate just how much Bremen has to offer. But Bremen has more as cultur and history. River Weser is attraction in Bremen, too. They call it the 'ice wager', a term that doesn't really make any sense today, as the River Weser has not frozen over in more than 50 years. Nevertheless, is an important date every year. Venerable merchants January 6 every year in fine clothes throw stones into the water and get a notary to certify the river's condition that winter - whether it is frozen or not.

Just try it

'Kohl und Pinkel' is very local speciality, and not everybody has the heart to eat it, but don't worry, you will like it! Bremen's local speciality is at least as unspeakable as the 'pig's stomach' the German chancellor Kohl - a native of the Rhineland - loves so much. Despite this negative view, Bremen residents swear by their favourite meal, which consists of loads of curly kale with the substantial addition a variety of meats. Pinkel is the name of a special section of pig's intestine used as a sausage skin and filled with oatmeal. Incidentally, the traditional dish is mainly eaten in the company of friends or colleagues in the course of an outing. This also explains the quintessential Bremen term 'Kohl und Pinkel Fahrt' - Kohl and Pinkel Trip. Groups of Bremen citizens engaged in this custom are easily identified as they stroll in light-hearted mood through the countryside around Bremen, preferably festooned with sprigs of curly kale.
