Germany: Town Musicians of Bremen

Today I got my first two postcards from the German State of Bremen. Bremen was my last missing State.

One of the cards shows the statue of the Town Musicians of Bremen. The Town Musicians of Bremen is a fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm about a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster leaving their owners to become Town Musicians in Bremen but after expelling crooks from their house in the forest they stayed there. The statue was built in 1953 and was designed by Gerhard Marcks. 
I got this card a few weeks ago in a cover.


Stamp:
Bremen (issued 05-06-2014)
with a special postmark showing the Roland


Thank You very much Sabina for sending me the card in an envelope!
