Roland was the hero of Bremen, because he awoke the city at the sight of the
enemy's approach so they could defend their city. He was at the time, if I
remember right, watching a sheepherd. He blew into his horn so loud, "that his
lungs collapsed". Don't you love the way they flourished their heroes in the
past? I was born and raised in Bremen, so I am familiar with that story. The
teachers told it to us every year in school. Monika
