Free Hanseatic City of Bremen brand guidelines
Styleguide Bremen provides guidelines and technical support contacts for online and print media across the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.
Freedam's take — I like seeing civic design systems made openly available, and the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen takes an orderly approach with this portal. The structure clearly separates digital requirements from traditional print media across its main navigation. It also includes explicit top-level options for sign language and simplified German, emphasizing accessibility right from the header. Dedicated support contacts for CMS and technical questions show a thoughtful commitment to helping public teams implement these standards consistently.
