The Pied Piper town of Hamelin
Hamelin is known the world over for the story of the Pied Piper. The town became wealthy as a result of its favourable location as a trading centre on the river Weser. This wealth was reflected in its lavishly decorated houses, turning the old quarter into a magnificent architectural ensemble of international renown.
