Hamelin, Hanseatic municipality in Lower Saxony, Germany
The town extends along the Weser River, featuring Renaissance buildings, timber-framed houses, and sandstone structures throughout its historic center.
The settlement originated from a monastery established in 851, developing into a fortified town known as Gibraltar of the North by the 18th century.
The Pied Piper legend remains central to local identity, with painted rat designs on cobblestones guiding visitors through the medieval streets.
The main attractions concentrate around Osterstrasse and Pferdemarkt square, connected by narrow streets filled with restaurants and local shops.
A mechanical carillon at the Hochzeitshaus performs the Pied Piper tale three times daily, with moving figures acting out the medieval story.
