House of the Pied Piper
by Mirabell
The building of 1602 was home of the famous Pied Piper. The architectural style is called Weserrenaissance, a typical style of the 17th century in the region along the Weser River.
According to a legend the Pied Piper was fluting all rats out of town. The government didn't want to pay him for his work so he were fluting all kids out of town.
Today, you can watch every weekend the Pied Piper fluting all of the rats out of town. Seems the government decided better ro pay.

One of the restaurants we used to haunt was Pizza Roma. Nothing like pizza in the U.S. You could get a fried egg on your pizza here, as an example. And, the ever present German wine and beer of course. Great pizza. Let's go inside...
The Minster of Saint Bonifatius
by LysDor
It is said that Hitler used this church (as many other sacred places around the country!) to store war material and ammunitions!
How one could even think of storing horrible war material in such a beautiful place?
