Rattenfänger Figurenspiel

Musical highlight at the horse market
The Pied Piper puppet show is a highlight of any visit to Hameln. Daily at 1.05 p.m., 3.35 p.m., and 5.35 p.m. the bronze doors open and the Pied Piper makes his rounds. Viewers follow his story from drowning the rats to the disappearance of the children. The melody was composed by Jürgen Langehein (1923-1992). The figures were designed by Harro Siegel (1900-1985) and executed by Walter Volland (1898-1980).
