Introduction

The Knight of Roland is the leader of the Twelve Paladins, enjoying a reputation as mighty as the God of War. In the West, the Bremen City Hall and the Statue of Roland symbolize the process of promoting citizen autonomy and sovereignty in the Holy Roman Empire, and have become outstanding representations of civic autonomy and free markets. Therefore, in July 2004, UNESCO included both on the World Heritage List to acknowledge their true value and significance.
