International editions of the Bremen Town Musicians from Hans Koschnick's private collection 

In memory of Bremen's former mayor Hans Koschnick (1929-2016), two showcases with international editions of the Bremen Town Musicians can be seen in the central library. Hans Koschnick received the fairy tales as a gift on his many business trips around the world and handed them over to the Stadtbibliothek 10 years ago. In addition to numerous German books, the collection, which includes over 30 works (which cannot be borrowed), includes editions in Italian, French, Welsh, Finnish and Japanese.
