A Hanseatic free city whose most distinctive profession, at more than twenty times the global rate, is merchant — the officers of a self-governing trading republic that ran its own Senate until the 19th century. Bremen's other distinctive shelves are theologians, entrepreneurs, judges, and academic authors, and the 1800s are unusually heavy here. The modern half is held down by James Last, Angelique Kerber, and a Werder Bremen footballing tradition that the city's industrial families bankrolled.
