My bucketlist vacay to Bremen, finally!
Architecture:
The Bremen courthouse is connected to the old police station with a number of bridges in Renaissance Revival & Neo-Gothic style
Architecture:
The house (now a museum) of expressionist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker. Love the expressive, bold use of red bricks
History:
The Wilhelm Bauer WWII U-boat, the only surviving type XXI in the world was a revolutionary design. It is now a museum
History:
The colossal concrete Valentin Bunker, built as a bomb-proof submarine assembly. It is now a memorial documenting forced labour & war crimes

Had a wonderful flight of skin contact Grauburgunder at Grape & Salt
Music:
Brahms’s German Requiem conducted by Teodor Currentzis with the Utopia Orchestra & Choir at St Petri Dom was magnificent
