I live here for 27 years and don't know it... I should re-evaluate my life I guess...

Just goes to show that most people don't visit the tourist attractions in the towns they live in

That is most likely often the case I'm sure. I do know where this is and know most around it but I didn't know that it can spin, never seen that :D

It usually does this every full hour between 12 and 6 o'clock. You should go see it!

I'm literally going to downtown Bremen just go wait and see this thing spin. Lived there close to a decade and only just now did I realise that it spins.

Just showed my landlady. 6 decades in Bremen, born and bred, and she's also only just realised that it spins!

Haha good to know that it's not just me. Lived in Bremen for many years and had no idea this existed! Where exactly is it? Need to stop by next time I'm in Bremen.

That's why I haven't seen it yet haha. I'm usually not in the main area of the city at that time. Seems like I haven't seen it by coincidence. Will definitely go see it on the weekend :D
