Near the street Skarnia, between the church of St. Peter and the complex "Konventa s? ta» stands a monument to legendary Bremen musicians: a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster. Despite the fact that it is dedicated to the characters of the famous fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm, the monument has a political undertone. The author of the monument is Christa Baumgartel, a sculptor from Bremen. Although the monument is dedicated to the heroes of the fairy tale, it has a deep political meaning. The sculpture was created during the reconstruction, and the Bremen four look not through the window at the robbers' feast, but behind the iron curtain.

Each city has its own, special "places of fulfillment of desires. " Be sure to find some kind of monument, touch the ear, rub the belly, pinch the nose - and the guarantee of the fulfillment of your cherished desire is in your pocket. In Riga, the Bremen Town Musicians play such an honorable role. Remember the cartoon from childhood? The author captured the moment when the little animals look out the window to the forest robbers. The monument is ordinary, but how can you miss this opportunity?? ? So, the instruction: you need to rub the nose of the donkey and make a wish that will come true.
