image comment: Pied PiperThe Pied Piper, who in 1284 appeared in Hameln, since centuries is the town´s landmark and world famous.
From the Pied Piper hall, or the open-air-play, to the musical "Rats" - still today Hamelin cannot be thought of without the Pied Piper.
Where do you find the Pied Piper?
You meet the Piper with nearly every step through Hameln.
