Bremen's historic "Schnoor Quarter"
My German blogging friend Anita has just read my mind in her comment on my last posting, because the next pictures of my home town that I like to show you now are all taken in the the historic Schnoor Quarter (Schoor means Schnur and that means Thread in English). It's rather like a thread of beads, little houses from the 15th/16th Century huddle together in the city's oldest living quarter. In most of the small houses are toy shops, art shops, restaurants etc. now and it is of course a touristic attraction. Especially artists will love to shop here:

Thanks a lot Carol! Yes, I was expecting these photos of the Schnoor, the loveliest quarter of Bremen! By the way, I found its website this morning
http://www.derschnoor.de/
(apparently not available in English, sorry) .... just to promote the city of Bremen ;-)
Regards,
Anita
Yes! Take us window shopping with you!
Caro, schöne Bilder aus Bremen. Du bereitest dich wohl schon auf den Nikolaus vor?
I would like to go shopping in the wonderful town!
Sigrun
Yes!!! yes!!! I would love the window shopping!
Oh you are so lucky to live in such a beautiful setting, so rich in history, architecture, stories of an age gone by. Although there are many beautiful things about my city Toronto, we just don't have the deep history and landscape to enjoy. Thanks for the pictures, I can dream that I'm strolling down the cobblestone roads. TWT
Those photos are wonderful!! I would love to shop there:)
Any bead shops?? LOL
Oh how I would love to shop there in person! But since I won't be able to, I'll settle for window shopping with you.
I would love to window shop with you! These photos are so gorgeous I feel as if I've wandered down these streets this morning. What a lovely little area.
Wonderful photos Carol!
I just wish it wouldn`t take me half an hour to download your blog :( Had to go away and do something till it loaded.
With slow internet all the beautiful floral wallpaper background graphics take forever. But it was worth it :)
tea

That was lovely, those beautiful narrow streets and the lovely coloured builidings. Yes please shop windows next time so we can see what we could buy if we were there. Bremen has some fantastic old buildings.
Yes there is also a wonderful african bead shop, I was even in there and bought some beads, but I forgot to take a picture of it, because of my excitment I guess.
Tea I'm so sorry it took you so long to open my blog, but seeing I'm not a big writer, my blog is all about the pictures. I admit that you need a broadband connection to see it.
Thank you all for commentíng :D
Charming, yes, I would love to see photos of the shop windows.
these are picture postcard perfect - it was wonderful to see, thankyou xo

Oh Carol, I can't wait to arrive!! How beautiful!
i love the pictures. i have gone through my great grandpas slide and i am trying to find where a particular slide was taken by looking at german websites. there is the possibility that you have a photo of the same exact location on your site. can i email you my photo? The sign on the wall of my photo says "schnoor" which i understand to mean Thread.
