A bronze monument to the Pied Piper was erected in memory of the main urban legend that glorified little Hameln. So, it was the distant 1284, the city was actively attacked by rats. The authorities no longer knew how to deal with it. But then a man appeared in Hameln who offered to lime all the rats for a substantial fee. The municipality agreed. The rat-catcher played his pipe, took all the rats out of the city and drowned them in the river. But the city authorities got greedy and did not pay the Pied Piper for his work. Then the next day, when all the adult townspeople were in church, the Pied Piper played his pipe again, but now all the children of the city followed him. And they disappeared. Only the deaf-mute remained, who did not hear the magic pipe and the lame, who did not have time to follow everyone ...The monument-fountain is located on Osterstrabe street.
