Schweinehirt und seine Herde, Bronze sculpture in Mitte, Bremen, Germany.
The sculpture group consists of a swineherd figure with his dog and nine bronze pigs, including five adult swine and four piglets.
The merchants of Sögestraße funded this statue in 1974, connecting to medieval times when pig stables populated this area of Bremen.
The name Sögestraße derives from Low German 'Soghestrate', referring to the location where herders guided pigs through Bremen's city walls to communal pastures.
Located at the end of Sögestraße near Am Wall and Herdentorsteinweg streets, the sculpture provides seating opportunities for visitors and meeting spots.
Children regularly climb and play on the bronze pigs, making the sculpture an interactive element of Bremen's street life.
