50 years of "Shepherd with Pigs"

21. März 2024

In 2024, Sögestraße will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the bronze sculpture "Shepherd with Pigs" . This well-known bronze statue by the Bremen sculptor Peter Lehmann has been standing in the shopping street since 1974 thanks to the local merchants. It is a reminder of the times when bakers and beer farmers worked here and drove pigs through the streets to the market square.

The popular photo motif will be honored in the anniversary year with various events, including an exhibition in autumn 2024.

Paint, remember and win: What doesn't sound immediately understandable to foreign guests is a clear indication to the people of Bremen that the meeting is taking place at the bronze sculpture “Shepherd with Pigs” on Sögestrasse. In the anniversary year there are activities to discover along Sögestrasse:
