The Statue of Roland, Bremen, Germany

September comes with some great new postcards. This nice postcard represents the statue of Roland ( one of them) in Bremen, Germany. The legend says that Bremen will remain free and independent as long as Roland stands watching over the city. It is alleged that a second Roland statue is kept hidden in the town hall's underground vaults. This can be quickly installed, should the original fall.
