OMG had no idea what a talent Lauren, well done!

Und....? Were you expecting that? I hope you all enjoyed getting to know me, doing my "day job"! The only show I´ll have this Summer, as the effects of all the cancellations due to the various lockdowns are still affecting my calender! So expect more videos and please know how much I appreciate each and every one who subscribes and likes - your support means the world to me! A huge thanks to Klangfrisch, who sent journalist Lissi Savin/WFB who filmed the excerpts that I used in this video, (thank you, Lissi!), to the Seebühne Bremen for making us all so welcome and providing fantastic conditions to perform, and - last but most definitely not least - to Hilmar from Kulturgipfel, for making all of this possible!

Liebe Lauren, deine Videos sind einmalig schön 🥰 Der pure Genuss beim Anschauen! Vielen Dank 🙏

Don’t miss the end! I won’t be adding that kind of thing to my videos very often!

Yes, You are right, never miss Kaffee und Kuchen ☕ & 🍰

Wow I've never been to Bremen before. It looks majestic and you had amazing weather for it :) and there are worse things to practice than eating cake on camera...lol😀

Thank you for sharing! Tolle Bilder. Du hast eine sehr beeindruckende Stimme. 😍

Great video Lauren! Bremen is on our list of places to visit, so thanks for showing us around. That’s funny you noticed that I lean over my food in our videos, because I didn’t even realize I did that 😂! Either way, I’m glad it doesn’t look like I’m going to eat the camera. Also, I can’t believe how nice those little duck houses look! I love birds, so I think that’s awesome. Thanks for pointing those out!

So beautiful and intriguing as always! 😎👍 Concerning the little house in the moat, you are right! It is there to give ducks the oportunity to get out of the water over night avoiding being harrased and threatened by predators, i.e. foxes, cats, doges etc.

I lived my first 21 years in Bremen (my hometown). Now I live in Hattingen (which you made a video about 3 months ago). Really nice videos. :o)

What a beautiful video! I really enjoyed the background music along with the beautiful shots of Bremen. Never been to that town before, but this definitely made me consider going there. I'm also very surprised and thrilled that you already have more than 1.26 thousand subscribers. I remember the seemingly loooooong way to make the last ones until you had 1,000 followers. So glad that even more people got the chance to see your videos now. I really enjoy your style, so just keep doing what you like and what makes you happy, and I am sure that you will always be successful.

Hello beautiful Lauren! 🤗 What a wonderfully, magical place you visited! In the beginning I think those were duck huts or duck housed in the middle of the water. I'm sure other birds use them, but that's what I know them as. Was that Diagon Alley?! 😮😉 I really liked the turning tower! How cool is that?! 😄 The narrowest alley way was so tiny! Yikes! So glad to see you performing!🥰You have a beautiful voice! 🎼🎵🎶Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories with us!🌞

What an outstanding video as always my friend Lauren. I am always looking forward to your next video. I really enjoyed following along with you through the beautiful town of Bremen. It was neat that you captures one of my favorite stores in Germany which is Karstadt :). And of course, it is always great to see at least one of our puppies in the video :). I cracked up when you were sitting in the restaurant and your mic got in the way and you said "this is not my dog", lol. It is very nice seeing the Glockenspiel. I will have to check this out on my trip to Bremen in the near future. You sounded so beautiful as you shared a bit of your wonderful singing. I would surely be a paying customer to see your show :). Thank You again for another spectacular video of pure wonderfulness ;). See you in the next round :).

Statues of Roland can be found in various European cities, and this stone one, the Bremer Roland, is one of the oldest. Often these statues are of mythical Roland, but this one refers to an historical figure, who was a companion of Emperor Charlemagne. This statue reminds everyone that the emperor is the founder of the city, and the one who gave it rights and privileges.

Ich bin durch die Schwarzwald-Familie auf diesen Kanal aufmerksam geworden und muss wirklich sagen, diese Videos sind echt Spitze. Die Stadtführungen sind wunderbar. Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf die nächsten Videos.

Thank you for this lovely ‚Liebeserklärung‘ to a wonderful city (where I was born and where my everyday work is). And yes, Bremen is a special city with lots of magic. Hope you come back.

A lovely video, thank you for sharing! The music is very pleasant.

Just realized i haven't commented on this video yet. How dare i! Bremen, yes, i remember some long nights in the city. Great people, great vibes.

You never disappoint in your vlogs dear Lauren. This time the beautiful Hanseatic city of Bremen the biggest rival of Hamburg. The old town of Bremen is really beautiful and lets us guess how Bremen must have looked as a whole concept before 1939. The town hall square can also guess what wealth these port cities have accumulated in their heyday as so many other port cities throughout Europe. Bremen was for a long time more important than Hamburg and also the starting point (Bishop of Bremen) of the missionary work in Scandinavia. There is an event in Bremen which is the oldest "Brudermahl" in the world and that is the "Schaffermahl" (1545) where the shipowners, merchants and their captains meet for a big meal (5 course menu) in the town hall. Donations are collected at the same time. We Lower Saxons have an ambivalent relationship with Charlemagne :-) (blood court of Verden where 4500 Saxons are said to have been executed in one day) but Roland (as a knight) stands for absolute loyalty, sacrifice and chivalry. Many greetings from the neighboring city of Oldenburg dear Lauren.

Wow that's incredible, lovely singing (and costume!) Very special indeed 🌸🎶🤗

I should visit all those places You have visited, not because they are so beautiful, but because You were there! Like a Beatles tour in Liverpool 😄 ❤️🤗❤️

Thank you for another wonderful video. I didn't realise that Bremen could be so beautiful, it has certainly opened my eyes!!

Just lovely how you capture your impressions! And I'm lucky that you didn't really die at the Seebühne stage - otherwise I'd really miss your future videos. 😉

This brings back so many memories of Bremen for me. I lived here for 5 years and have walked these streets so many times but it never gets old.

Ashton's video brought me over to your wonderful channel to which I immediately subscribed to! Thank you so much for appreciating Bremen, the city I was given birth in many decades ago!!!!! 🙂

Another great video. I like the mix of telling about a city’s history and some local legends. Everybody know the Bremer Stadtmusikanten and not everybody know Bremen itself. Fun fact, the city of Braunfels has a nice oldtown and a 19th century castle where a fairy tale movie was filmed by the ZDF. Funfact, the small town of Villmar, not worth a visit, got a bridge made of marble and the marble of the region was partly used for Empire State Building in New York City. The Region marble can also be found in the Eremitage in St. Petersburg. I like you upload positive things to enjoy. The world is full of negativ things, so it’s good to focus on the opposite and show them. I like the church bells thing. You should do more inn your videos. Many pretty sounding church bells here in Germany. But my favorite are the bells of Straßburg in France. The bells of the cathedral of Speyer and the bells of Limburg cathedral and the bells of a small German town called Niederselters. Not worth a visit, although the most famous German water comes from here. If you can’t visit all the places I named in my comments, the I recommended watching videos about the places here in yt.

Just pure art. You should work for NDR making perfect background stories. The commenting voice is just perfect.

Welcome to my beautiful Hometown.

Die Musik führt mich durch die Bilder dazu deine wohltemperierte Stimme . Es wieder eine exzellentes Kunstwerk, dass du geschaffen hast. Danke dafür Lauren. Peter

Wow, I didn't even know that your background is opera. What a pleasant surprise! Got this video recommended today and now I realize, I've got homework to do! There are a lot of older videos to watch. Great video, thanks for sharing

Its such an amazing Vlog Lauren, Germany has so much to offer and we are planning our trip there and this video is going to be so helpful, I really enjoyed your narration and the choice of music, lots of regards from Belgium and wishing you all the best

Wow. Thank you for sharing that. Great job. Bremen is my birthplace. I`m not there anymore, but it brought me back for a while. Nice 😍

If your travels ever bring you to Stuttgart or south of Stuttgart I would highly recommend the "Schloss Lichtenstein" (on the "Schwäbische Alb", to the south of Reutlingen). If you want so see how medieval buildings are constructed you should visit the "Campus Galli" in Meßkirch (also roughly in the same area, but more to the east) they do build a medieval monestary there with medieval methods. Really worth a visit.

Great Video. I never expected that Bremen has still so much of an old town. I thought it was leveled during the II WW bomb raids and the Social Democratic Town Government, would rather build modern building, than preserve the historical building. I am glad that I am wrong. Maybe I shall use the 9 Euro Ticket and visit Bremen. :) Thanks for sharing the beauty of Bremen.

The Kaffee und Kuchen segment was cruel and unusual punishment for me to watch🙂 Yet the video and tour was first class!

Hi. Schönes Video. Ein Tipp für den nächster Besuch in Bremen: versuch Walter Ruffler in seinem Atelier zu besuchen. Seine Papierskulpturen sind wirklich magisch/einzigartig

That was fabulous Lauren. I was very pleasantly surprised to see so many historic buildings still standing - I had presumed bombing during the was would have decimated Bremen. Wow - loved hearing you sing.

Ah, I found your Bremen Video! ;-) And you found the Schnoor as one can see. Now it all comes together; I noticed your versatile aristic talents right in the first few videos I watched and I asked myself what it would be about this - so you are a lovely, radiant soprano! What a strong and bright voice, and at the same time so very light and airy! I also had some classical training (Mezzosopran /Mozart, Bach, Händel and old english song), but that was just a hobby, not professional education. The teacher was, but not I myself. I got vocal training and lessons for 9 years and alongside sung in some choirs. In my young 30ies I "collected" some good traditional musicians in Bremer Irish Pubs and we rehearsed my program that I had developed for a celtic concert. It was irish and scottish songs, ballads and instrumental pieces from 1600 to1900 and, of course, all that lovely stories about the songs. Our first concert was in Haus Blomendal! 🙂 So lovely that you tour through all those beautiful cities and have your performances here and there and everywhere. I am sure it must be fun to meet so many different people while working! I wish you all the best in every way, also good health for your beautiful voice whenever there`s a stage. You sound very beautiful, what a flexible voice and technique! But you also are such a good storyteller and filmmaker! As it often happens, many artists do own some more talents and gifts, not just "that single one". Your energy can be felt beautifully through your art, no matter what you are doing. Your videos make such a difference. What I like the most is the calm and relaxing presentation and way of filming - slow and without wiggeling, so that one really can see all before the camera shows the next view and detail. Mostly such things are filmed much too fast, and the music is terrible and does not fit the scenery and place. Your choice of music, but also your way of speaking are extremely wonderful. Your videos are full of love for the old stones and walls and the environment, it is strongly noticeable in every part of your videos. I surely will introduce your videos to a friend, she will love them, I am sure! 🙂

Oh, Lauren.... my dad would have loved this video so much! I do feel a bit weepy right now... and close to my Papa.

I love your amazing voice, it's so nice to listen to you and to follow you, because it's not so hard to understand you even as non native English speaker. Nice to see these lovely places through your eyes. ☺️

Lovely Reifrock! Almost Aa good as the murder-bustle! 😁

Hansa Stadt, a City of The Hanseatic League. Not so much a guild as it was a sort of commonwealth of cities engaged in maritime trade. The Hanseatic League reached from Denmark to France, covering the Low Countries…as I can recall from when we learnt about this entity in Grundschule in München….about a hundred years ago.

Great. A British Violetta in Bremen. Amazing.

I wish I could accompany you :) I am from Munich but live in Frankfurt

Damn, I was just there last week, picking up my car in Bremerhaven. Was there for couple days, wish Id seen your video ,I wouldve tried visiting all those nice place showned. It was a tale of 2 cities for me. One side which was near Hautbanhauf , that so was ghetto,you could poverty,crime and drug use on the streets. Other side was nice like what you shown here in the video. I wish I had seen this and check out those places . Definitely try next time.

When I was watching the first time, I did not hear you saying the sentence (at 8:47 ) "...Harry Potter style street" but for myself I thought from 11:07 wow, that looks absolutely like Hogsmeade and at 13:58 that's Knockturn Alley. Hope you have seen once the Leavesden Studios from Harry Potter, one of the most stunning things I ever saw in my life, ... all the props... And I am so happy that I could experience in my life often being in the town where Rowling grew up and saw the house where she lived and many buildings and places around that, which are just like in Harry Potter, so a lot of her inspirations were just 1:1 from real life, e.g. the graveyard right beside her childhood house was fully like that one in Godric's Hollow. That you are an opera singer... that meant something special to me, as sometimes in my job I have to do something with opera singers... (maybe later more, will not reveil my employer in public)

I cannot wait to be able to see bremen in person. Lauren if you get back, please check out my greatgrandparents 1st home. I will see you in the p Germanic Heritage group

Thank you for this wonderful, peaceful video. I love how you take your time to show appreciation for the beautiful places in Bremen. I have been watching a ton of travel videos lately in preparation for my upcoming trip to Germany. They are mostly well-photographed, but I think they all use the same music library! Some kind of chipmunks chanting over a synthesizer! Or worse, a montage with loud obnoxious house music before each location switch. The cadence of your videos is engaging and far more pleasant. By the way, great job on Lübeck as well. My mother grew up there. :)

I have heard at least 5 different pronunciation of Bremen

The video makes Bremen look more beautiful than it really is. Sadly, most of the city consists of rather uninspired post war cr*p architecture. Only a few small corners are pleasing to the eye.

Sorry we come from hamburg and dont like Bremen....why history and Football. Bremen is a Part from hamburg but a little bit outside from hamburg! Yes we in hamburg have fun!
