| description | Unlike
the communities on the Rhine: Xanten, Koblenz, Cologne and Mainz, the medieval
cities in central and northern Germany do not have an original Roman past. Whereas
during the Humanism and the Renaissance, cities in the north sought in many
ways to place themselves in an ancient tradition. The Hanseatic city of Bremen
adorned its city hall interiors with Latin sayings and allegories (Justitia,
Sapientia, Virtus). The city gates referred to Roman bourgeois virtues. Local
historians found a Roman origin in the community long before the reign of the
Christian bishop. Ancient culture still characterizes the urban tradition
today. |
