Bremer Loch: The Hole of Bremen

Bremen hole

There is an unusual donation box installed beneath the streets in front of the State Parliament building in Germany’s northern city of Bremen. It appears like a circular, bronze manhole cover, but in the center of the lid, there is a small slit for people to drop coins or paper money. In return, the donation box plays a musical thank you from one of Bremen’s four famous musicians—a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster.
