Trivia

The fact that the newspaper bears the coat of arms of the city of Bremen in its title stems from an accident of history: When the paper was founded in the rather chaotic post-war occupied Germany, the city of Hamburg refused the use of its coat of arms in a private publication at the last moment; thus the space reserved for it on the printing plate was filled with that of the nearby city of Bremen. A modern coat of arms is derived from the medi val practice of painting designs onto the shield and outer clothing of knights to enable them to be identified in battle, and later in tournaments. ... The river Weser flows through Bremen to the estuary at Bremerhaven. ...
