Hamelin (alternately spelled Hamelyn) is a community in Germany. It is the location of the Legend of the Pied Piper, where the eponymous Pied Piper of Hamelin rid of the town of its rat plague using his magical pipe. According to legend, when the people of the town refused to pay him, he used his charms to take away the children. One version of the legend posits that the Pied Piper took the children not into the sea, but rather to the Transylvanian town of Brasov.[1]
