Guided Story

Imagine standing in a place steeped in history. Look around, and you'll see the Stone Cross, a silent witness to a dramatic chapter in Bremen's past. It's here to remind us of 1435, when the mayor Johann Vasmer was executed. This cross was erected as an atonement for him. As you gaze upward, you can almost feel the weight of those events. Behind you, just a few steps away, is Ulrichsplatz. While you stand here, imagine how people then, much like today, passed by this cross, each with their own thoughts and stories. Feel the connection to a time that seems distant, yet so close.
