Museum Broodhuis, La Grand-Place Bruxelles - world heritage
La Grand Place, Brussels, both cheered and abused, but always prominent in the capital of Europe.
The Broodhuis, a former 12th century bread market, now accommodates the municipal museum. Step by step, room after room and floor after floor one travels through Brussels' history.
The model replicas give a clear picture of the old city. In fact the city is a veritable archipelago of districts of which La Grand Place is at the centre. In days of old, solidly walled to keep criminal elements outside.
In the museum you discover that each street in the city centre refers to the central roles that Brussels played over the centuries. It was all happening here from the 10th century on, trade, arts and science. Downtown and uptown Brussels expanded.
The water and the city harbour basins may have disappeared, but the trading spirit is still there.
The Manneken, there he is once again, now as a tailor's dummy. At the municipal museum they proudly present different garbs in which he performs his tricks.
The bread house, the French call it La Maison du Roi, but only after the duke of Belgian Brabant became king of Spain. The king never lived there, but that's a detail.
After the destructive 1695 shelling, part of La Grand Place was rebuilt with Italian baroque overtones. The square is now a beautiful whole without any stylish lapses although sometimes little reminders of Louis the 14th shine through.

Grand Place (Grote markt)-Brussels:
The Grand Place is the central square of Brussels. It is surrounded by opulent guildhalls and two larger edifices, the city's Town Hall, and the Breadhouse (French: Maison du Roi, Dutch: Broodhuis) building containing the Museum of the City of Brussels. The square is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. It measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 361 ft), and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Grand Place continued to serve as a market until November 19, 1959, and it is still called the Great Market or Grote Markt in Dutch. Neighbouring streets still reflect the area's origins, named after the sellers of butter, cheese, herring, coal and so on. The Grand Place was named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1998. One of the houses was owned by the brewers' guild, and is now the home of a brewers' museum.
The Grand Place was voted the most beautiful square in Europe in 2010. A survey by a Dutch website asked its users to rate different squares across Europe. Moscow’s Red Square and the Place Stanislas in Nancy, France, took second and third place.
Every two years in August, an enormous flower carpet is set up in the Grand Place for a few days. A million colourful begonias are set up in patterns, and the display covers a full 24 by 77 metres (79 by 253 ft), for area total of 1,800 square metres (19,000 sq ft). The first flower carpet was made in 1971, and due to its popularity, the tradition continued, with the flower carpet attracting a large number of tourists.The second and third series of the BBC television series Secret Army were filmed here in 1978 and 1979, specifically around the building that is now Maxim's restaurant.

Besides the strict centre, it also covers the immediate northern outskirts where it borders municipalities in Flanders. It is the administrative centre of the European Union, thus often dubbed, along with the region, the EU's capital city.
The City of Brussels is a municipality consisting of the central historic town and certain additional areas within the greater Brussels-Capital Region, namely Haren, Laeken and Neder-Over-Heembeek to the north, and Avenue Louise/Louizalaan and the Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos park to the south.
On 1 January 2017, the City of Brussels had a total population of 176,545. The total area is 32.61 km2 (12.59 sq mi) which gives a population density of 5,475 inhabitants per square kilometre (14,180/sq mi). As of 2007, there were approximately 50,000 registered non-Belgians in the City of Brussels. In common with all the Brussels municipalities, it is legally bilingual (French–Dutch).

Grand-Place in Brüssel
Grand-Place (Grote Markt) in Brüssel
Die Grand-Place (frz.; Großer Platz) bzw. der Grote Markt (ndl.; Großer Markt) ist der zentrale Platz der belgischen Hauptstadt Brüssel und eines ihrer Wahrzeichen. Mit dem gotischen Rathaus und seiner geschlossenen barocken Fassadenfront gilt er als einer der schönsten Plätze Europas und wurde 1998 als Ensemble in die Liste des Weltkulturerbes der UNESCO aufgenommen.
Bereits im 11. Jahrhundert war der Platz das Zentrum der Stadt. Er wurde auf einem trockengelegten Sumpfgebiet angelegt und lag 1,20 Meter tiefer als heute.
Als zentraler Platz war die Grand' Place bzw. der Grote Markt Schauplatz aller großer Versammlungen und ebenso Hinrichtungsstätte.
Am 13. und 14. August 1695 wurde der Platz durch den Beschuss französischer Truppen unter Marschall Villeroy fast völlig zerstört. Nur die Mauern und Türme des Rathauses und des Maison du Roi/Broodhuis standen danach noch, alle anderen Gebäude lagen in Trümmern.
Bis zu seiner Zerstörung 1695 war der Platz eine bunte Mischung der Stile des 15. bis 17. Jahrhunderts, die rasche Neubebauung in den folgenden Jahren gab ihm seine geschlossene barocke Fassadenfront. Eine wichtige Rolle spielte dabei der Stadtrat, der sich alle Entwürfe der neu zu bauenden Häuser vorlegen ließ und mit dem Willen zu einem einheitlichen, repräsentativen Stadtbild Einfluss auf die Pläne nahm.
Die Maße des rechteckigen Platzes betragen 110 Meter in der Länge und 68 Meter in der Breite, nur die Südseite ist etwas schräg versetzt, sodass an der südostlichen Ecke kein rechter Winkel entsteht. Sieben schmale und unregelmäßig angelegte Straßen, die die Fassadenfront nicht zerschneiden, führen von ihm in die Altstadt.
Beherrscht wird der Platz vom Rathaus mit seinem mächtigen Belfried und dem direkt gegenüberliegenden Maison du Roi, die einerseits die städtische, andererseits die königlich-habsburgische Macht verkörperten. Direkt vor dem Maison du Roi/Broodhuis, das auch das königliche Gericht beherbergte, befand sich die Richtstätte.
Seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts stehen die Gebäude des Platzes unter Denkmalschutz.

Brussels, Belgium, The Land of Chocolate, Waffles and Beers. Manneken Pis.
Manneken Pis is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619. The 61 cm tall bronze statue on the corner of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue des Grands Carmes was made in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy the Elder, father of the more famous François Duquesnoy. The figure has been repeatedly stolen: the current statue dates from 1965. The original restored version is kept at the Maison du Roi/Broodhuis on the Grand Place.
There are several legends behind this statue, but the most famous is the one about Duke Godfrey III of Leuven. In 1142, the troops of this two-year-old lord were battling against the troops of the Berthouts, the lords of Grimbergen, in Ransbeke (now Neder-Over-Heembeek). The troops put the infant lord in a basket and hung the basket in a tree to encourage them. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of the Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle.
Another legend states that in the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power. The city had held its ground for some time, so the attackers conceived of a plan to place explosive charges at the city walls. A little boy named Julianske happened to be spying on them as they were preparing. He urinated on the burning fuse and thus saved the city. There was at the time (middle of the 15th century, perhaps as early as 1388) a similar statue made of stone. The statue was stolen several times.
Another story (told often to tourists) tells of a wealthy merchant who, during a visit to the city with his family, had his beloved young son go missing. The merchant hastily formed a search party that scoured all corners of the city until the boy was found happily urinating in a small garden. The merchant, as a gift of gratitude to the locals who helped out during the search, had the fountain built.
Another legend was that a small boy went missing from his mother when shopping in the centre of the city. The woman, panic-stricken by the loss of her child, called upon everyone she came across, including the mayor of the city. A city-wide search began and when at last the child was found, he was urinating on the corner of a small street. The story was passed down over time and the statue erected as a tribute to the well-known legend.
Another legend tells of the young boy who was awoken by a fire and was able to put out the fire with his urine, in the end this helped stop the king's castle from burning down.
Traditions: The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to a published schedule which is posted on the railings around the fountain. His wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes, many of which may be viewed in a permanent exhibition inside the City Museum, located in the Grand Place, immediately opposite the Town Hall. The costumes are managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, who review hundreds of designs submitted each year, and select a small number to be produced and used.
Although the proliferation of costumes is of twentieth-century origin, the occasional use of costumes dates back almost to the date of casting, the oldest costume on display in the City Museum being of seventeenth-century origin. The changing of the costume on the figure is a colourful ceremony, often accompanied by brass band music. Many costumes represent the national dress of nations whose citizens come to Brussels as tourists; others are the uniforms of assorted trades, professions, associations, and branches of the civil and military services.
On occasion, the statue is hooked up to a keg of beer. Cups will be filled up with the beer flowing from the statue and given out to people passing by.
