Near the street Skarnia, between the church of St. Peter and the complex "Konventa s? ta» stands a monument to legendary Bremen musicians: a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster. Despite the fact that it is dedicated to the characters of the famous fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm, the monument has a political undertone. The author of the monument is Christa Baumgartel, a sculptor from Bremen. Although the monument is dedicated to the heroes of the fairy tale, it has a deep political meaning. The sculpture was created during the reconstruction, and the Bremen four look not through the window at the robbers' feast, but behind the iron curtain. The monument, presented to Riga by the sister city in 1990, humorously defeats the political stereotypes of that time.
